So what do I call it now?!!

[Ceirrno]

Today is my wedding anniversary... Except it isn't.

I got divorced last year, so although today is the anniversary of my wedding, there's no "counting the years" anymore... So what on earth do people call their wedding anniversary once they're no longer married?

I feel it still needs marking, but calling it your wedding anniversary sort of implies that you're actually still married...

Argh!

We'll I'd come all if Tuesday

This is one of the most bizarre things I have read on here.

Surely it’s not something you mark anymore if no longer married?
If I happen to write the date on that day I may think ‘oh this was my wedding day’ but no more thought than that.
Maybe I am a bit heartless though....

I’m with Tulips

Surely it’s just Tuesday as the wedding means the square root of bugger all now you’re divorced?

There is no reason on earth I would want to ceiebrate the defunct anniversary of a dead relationship. Why would you?

Thank god I'm free day? In all seriousness its a non event

The first 'anniversary' date after I got divorced would have been the 10th wedding anniversary and I did feel that somehow it needed to be marked and felt sad about it but since then I've just thought on that day what a lucky escape I had

In what way would you mark it?

I assume some of you haven't been divorced. Just because you're divorced it doesn't mean your entire marriage was crap. It doesn't mean you don't have good memories of special days.

I just think of it as ‘oh that was the day we got married’. I don’t mark it as such.

As it’s your first time since divorcing, you’re probably feeling it much more than you will in future.

Yep. Tuesday.

I usually mark it with a bit of Bake Off followed by Seven Year Switch, and an unhealthy quantity of Galaxy.

Happy Tuesday!

It’s tuesday. Just - tuesday.

How do people manage to think up these crazy questions.
What you call your "anniversary" now OP is JUST ANOTHER DAY .
Sheeeshh.......

Come on folks, have some care. I don't give mine a name, but I always feel a bit sad about how it ended. I don't think you can be married to someone, and still not have some feelings about it.I think its fine to have 'a moment' and then maybe move on and do something nice for yourself.

Jesus wept people where is the sensitivity? I totally get what you are saying OP. It’s weird to have to stop acknowledging something that was so important and you are probably still grieving in some way. For my first non anniversary I had an awesome one night stand. I highly recommend it

assume some of you haven't been divorced. Just because you're divorced it doesn't mean your entire marriage was crap

It doesn't mean you need to mark the anniversary that is no longer an anniversary though!

How bloody weird.

I did actually mark the first year of my anniversary since getting divorced. I arranged to go for cocktails with a friend as I was expecting to feel a bit depressed but turns out I was absolutely fine and felt cery little about it. I got drunk, had a great night and haven't thought about my anniversary since other than 'Oh yeah that was x years ago I got married'then move on.

Are you still together? If not, I'd call it tuesday.

“I assume some of you haven't been divorced. Just because you're divorced it doesn't mean your entire marriage was crap. It doesn't mean you don't have good memories of special days.”

I have.
It was.
I don’t.

"Jesus wept where is the sensitivity?"

Well, I figured, since the OP finished the post with an 'Argh!', she wasn't entirely in the doldrums so lighthearted was a way to go.

Wonder if Clintons do cards?

My DD's XH got her a bunch of flowers and called it their "Anti-versary ".
Perhaps you could go for that?

Anti-versary. I like that.

Probably. They do cards for everything.

My dog is grateful for the choice.

Still needs marking??? I can't even remember the actual date anymore... I know it was June & can work out the year if I have to but honestly couldn't tell you if it was the 1st or 2nd if my life depended on it
