Sixth month anniversary

It was last weekend. Neither of us noticed. Should I be bothered? Is it a thing to celebrate?

No. Why would it be?

Married 35 years and never remember! And anyway - anniversary means annual not monthly otherwise where would it end? Weekiversaries?

Confusedlovee · 07/06/2023 22:00

He remembered our 3 month anniversary
Things have cooled slightly
Maybe that’s normal at 6 months

Unless you're a teenager I would say it's very normal. I might notice and think to myself it's a bit of a milestone but I don't think I'd even mention it to him - certainly not celebrate it! I do celebrate yearly anniversaries though.

Not doing 6 month anniversary, no problem.

Things cooled at 6 months, problem.

JorisBonson · 07/06/2023 22:03

It literally means yearly.

Good grief, don't be ridiculous. Only a teen would care about this.

OutdoorPillow · 07/06/2023 22:05

I don’t think “anniversary” means what you think it does.

2chocolateoranges · 07/06/2023 22:07

It matter when you are a teenager but not if you are older,

pukepoint3 · 07/06/2023 22:08

No.

Dacadactyl · 07/06/2023 22:09

Lol, a 6 month anniversary is not a thing

LolaSmiles · 07/06/2023 22:17

It depends how old you are. If you're in your teens or early 20s and this is your first 'real' relationship then I'd get it. If you're a grown adult who has had several relationships then it's a non-issue.

I think a one year anniversary is paper.

Maybe 6 month could be a wet wipe?

And it's an anniversary of marriage. I have a feeling op is not talking about an actual anniversary, but rather a dating 'anniversary'.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 07/06/2023 22:22

You don’t say.

Did you?

Are we talking wedding anniversary? Things have cooled? Wow

CountryCatLady · 07/06/2023 23:08

6 months in I remembered, mentioned it casually in conversation and that was it. Last month was 18 months together, never mentioned it at all as I honestly forgot about it.

Last year I might have made an effort with dinner or something, but nothing major. The 1 year was a bit more special. Cheap travelodge overnight in a near by city and dinner out haha....I'm so romantic me 😆😆

Pieceofpurplesky · 07/06/2023 23:27

You sound like 18 year old DS in his first proper relationship. Do you do the 'no you first' game on the phone at the end of a conversation too.

GreyCarpet · 08/06/2023 07:36

I always had 6 months in my head as a milestone because I'd never managed to achieve it in an actual relationship.

But I wouldn't never have expected it to be acknowledged within the relationship. It was my boyfriend who mentioned our first actual anniversary.

I was only aware that it was 18 months when someone asked me how long we'd been together and I counted.

6 months is not anthing to generally acknowledge, no. And a three month anniversary isn't even a thing. The 'ann' comes from 'annual' which comes from the Latin 'annus' meaning a year.
