So how many married people in here forget their anniversary?
So last year today, my Mum calls me just before lunch time to wish us congratulations on our anniversary. We’ve been married 5 years today, so last year was our 4th.
I didn’t believe her till I looked at the date. I felt so bad. I approached my wife uncharacteristically sheepish and apologised. She replied “what for?”
Of course I reply “Because it’s our anniversary” to which she replied “Is that today????” With a shocked look on her face 😂
That could have gone so much worse. We ordered a maccies and called it a day
So today is our 5th year anniversary, which some would call a milestone.
My wife is off on maternity and I’m at work doing some critical bugs that is holding back some of the work my team need to accomplish. So we’re both really busy.
My mum shows up unannounced with a card, to which my wife replies “What’s this for?”
Credit to her, she could have pretended and held me accountable for forgetting but she called me downstairs (I work from home) and proceeded to tell me that we both forgot - again!!
None of use are bothered. I said today that we are very happily married, we don’t need a reminder that we’re married
My mum said “Clearly you do Son”
We’re having a Chinese takeaway later and calling it a day.
Does anyone else forget their anniversary and if so, is it one or both that forget, is it a big deal and how much emphasis do you place on it?
