Married 2 years. DHs family forgot our anniversary. Mine remembered.

[crossroads1]

DH's family forgot our anniversary, only been married 2 years. They remember all other important dates. But no effort for us. My family all remembered first thing in the morning and sent us both messages.

Should i bring this up to DH? I just want to tell my in laws where to stick it!!

Could this be my chance to distance myself from them? My get out of jail free card? I never liked them from the beginning.

Nobody cares about our anniversary except for me and dh !

Why on earth would anyone apart from you and DH remember your wedding anniversary? I'd be astonished if my ILs gave us wedding anniversary cards!

They were at your wedding. The important day. Everything after that, until maybe the big milestone ones, are between you & your husband.

Urgh. My family are always upset that I don't get them wedding anniversary cards.
But I don't believe in them. It's their special day and they should celebrate how they want, but no, I don't care about when my DM married my shitty stepdad.

And I dont expect wedding anniversaries cards off anyone, including my DH. He shows me I'm special everyday.

Yes DH always remembers his brothers and sisters , as does his mum.

This. I’d be annoyed if my husband forgot but anyone else I don’t really care.

Dear God, I even forgot my own anniversary this year.

Do them a favour and distance yourself.

I forgot my twin's birthday. Just as well we know how to have a good laugh.

If everyone else gets a happy anniversary message, why shouldnt we?

This. I remember others' anniversaries but don't acknowledge them. That's between them.

I mean, how many accolades do people expect for their very ordinary relationship?? It gets tiresome.

First anniversary is nice to acknowledge and then big milestone ones. Beyond that, you can whistle, bridezilla.

If they remember everyones but yours - yes it is a bit sad.

But you will face more tougher things in life that will make this look like nothing.

Don't waste your time being upset. You sound naive.

Why do they need to remember?

I forgot my son's birthday last year.
🤣🤣

Because they remember everyone elses in the immediate family apart from ours?

😆Perhaps the feeling’s mutual.

No one cares. It's your anniversary. After the wedding day people get on with their lives. It's your special day.

No one in my entire life has ever remembered our wedding anniversary except DH and me. And a couple of times it was just him who remembered, not me. Why should anyone else mark it?

But what difference is it going to make whether they say happy anniversary or not? No one cares after the wedding day. It's nothing to do with them.

I read this and immediately Verruca Salt came to mind.

YABU - I dont a shiny shit about anyones wedding anniversary. Im only slighted bothered by my own and we've been married 20 years and are very happy. These sorts of things don't mean much to me.

Why would they need to congratulate you on being married 2 years? What has it got to do with them? I truly dont understand the need for it??

No one else cares about your wedding date. As important as it is to you, it really isn’t to other people.

You never liked your in-laws but expect them to care about your anniversary? Sounds like the feeling is mutual.

You admit you never liked them, sounds like you are just looking for any opportunity to complain about them.

Seriously, someone (other than you and DH) remembering your anniversary is nice but I would never expect it, nor with I get annoyed that someone forgot.

It's not an "important date" to anyone but you. I don't know when my sister's anniversary is, i know roughly but can't remember the day. I have never sent an anniversary card to anyone in my life, not even DH.
