Hello all. It's my 3rd anniversary today and my husband didn't get me flowers again!!! Do your husbands make an effort on your anniversary???

We seem to argue every anniversary........and I thought we were doing well today as we had not argued at all, but then we heard from his mother, who wasn't interested in our anniversary, but wanted to tell my hubby that she hadn't forgotten his birthday in 10 days time(as we are away from Saturday). Why couldn't she tell him tomorrow...now I can't be bothered with the rest of the day, and we were going out for a meal tonight...she just seemed to make our day worthless.

What a day!!!!!

Im not married so cant relate but just wanted to wish you a happy anniversary 2wildbabies! Has your dh got you anything else? Still go out for the meal, make sure he pays, and dont let your mil ruin the rest of the day for you. Go have a good time xxx

Know how you feel - DH forgets my birthday, although he normally buys a card while at work, so I get it in the evening.... he's the same with valentines, etc....

Did he get you anything else?

Hint: Remind him at least two weeks in advance. Men think that because they aren't bothered about a pressie neither are you!

dh usually asks me if i want a card, as in "suppose you'll be wanting a card on xxxday" which really winds me up. Probably why he does it. But it's not bloody funny.

Happy anniversary 2wildbabies. Enjoy your meal out, don't let your MIL spoil it.

mine bought me a card 2 days late this anniversary (7 years) and it was a fucking birthday card

need I say no more

Kayleigh · 09/09/2004 18:49

Ferrari, are you my dh ?????????????

Branster · 09/09/2004 19:46

Dh always gives me presents (usually far too expensive I think) and flowers + card for any special day (anniversary, birthday, valentine's etc), but to prove women are never satisfied:

a) the flowers he gives me are always unbelievably expensive but I prefer simple, wild sort of flowers. HE doesn't think I do so keeps choosing what he thinks is best

b) he insists on also giving me box of chocolates.they are very nice ones, i don't actually like chocolate that much so he eats them

c) all the other presents are based on being and looking expensive and very rarely what i'd choose myself and unfortunatelly i end up not using them. saying that he is good with jewlery and perfume he knows what i like.

But he is really so nice doing all this and I never have the heart to tell him. In my heart, I'd much more prefer he offered me quality time with just the two of us, just chatting over a glass of wine etc. And I'm not that bothered about receiving gifts or anything of the sort...

"Bloody women!" I hear someone saying

Ferrari, an appropriate present and card show that the person cares about you and has been thinking of you and wants to pay you some attention. Forgetting or not bothering about your own anniversary or partner's birthday is just rude and hurtful.

I'm really crap at remembering friends' and dh's families birthdays though

Oooggs · 09/09/2004 20:39

Fio2 - that's me!!!!!!! I bought a birthday card for my DH instead of an anniversary card, our 4th, managed to give it to him on the right day - but wrote the wrong date in my diary. My only excuse was that I was 7 month pregnant. I am going to try really hard this November.
