DH forgot, again

[dandave]

Today is our 12th anniversary. Neither of us cares about a gift, but we always tell each other "Happy Anniversary". I always remember our anniversary, so I wait to see if he remembers it. I'd say he has about a 50/50 track record, so far. I know DH forgot, because he didn't mention it this morning.
What would you do? Decisions, decisions...

I picked #3. But #2 is a close 2nd

Maybe he didn't forget. The day is just starting, give him a chance.
Also, call him. Make up some reason. Find some way to remind him, just in case he forgot, without putting him on the spot. If he did forget, it'll give him a chance to do something. If he didn't, then that's even better.

I'm not angry with him at all, but I'm tempted to have a little fun with him. If he had remembered, he would have been so proud of himself, that it would have been the first thing out of his mouth this morning.

I picked number three.

I'm in the middle of #2 and #4 but I chose #4. I love to see a man squirm - moreso when I'm right but this would count too. But then again - the day isn't over!!!!!

My SO forgot our anniversary in March. I didn't say a word to him about it. He forgot last year too, and gave me attititude about it when I reminded him. So this year, I decided not to say a word. He remembered a week later and finally wished me a happy anniversary (that's all I ask for, I don't want gifts, I don't want anything other than the those 2 words). I fully anticipate him forgetting next year too. He could be a very lucky man if he only could remember stuff.

I voted for 2. It may have its benefits...

DH forgot my birthday in December. Well, he knew it was 3 days after Christmas, but waking up that morning and for the first few hours of the day he didnt acknowledged it...it had slipped his mind. I even gave a few subtle hints. So I finally told him I had to go get a card for my father(we share a birthday). Boy did he squirm. He squirmed so much guess where we are spending my next birthday(see my second countdown timer)??? He even thinks he is getting off easy.
Good Luck & Happy Anniversary!!!

You are a better woman than me. If Stephen forgot my anniversary, I'd be depressed for days. Birthday too. He's never forgot, and I hope he never will. I know that I am immature when it comes to these kinds of things (including Christmas). I love getting presents, giving presents, celebrating, etc.

You have a great attitude, so #4 is the correct answer. However, I chose #3 because, in my life, more than the gods would be angry.

Happy Anniversary!

I don't give him the chance to forget! I make sure we discuss our plans beforehand. We always go out for a special dinner. It's been 20 years....

I'd send him flowers at work. That would really get him, but give him time to do something!

I wouldn't chose any of the poll selections. What I would do is wait until tomorrow or late tonight to wish him a Happy Anniversary. Then he'll really squirm. I've done this a couple of time with my DH and amazingly he's gotten much, much better about remembering.

Have a great anniversary!

I voted #4 because I have to.

I think it depends how you view the day. Do you consider it a celebration of a happy marriage, or a memory test?

making' em squirm is always fun! lol......

I never get mad - but I will put his anniversary card on his pillow for him to find when he goes to bed.....lol.......then watch him be nervous!

DisneyVillain, I'll have to go with memory test. We celebrate our marriage every day, just by loving one another. We both have a good sense of humor. Today is merely the date that we were married. A date which I remembered, and he did not.


I called DH at work. First response: "Oh sh..!" He felt really bad, and was ready to leave work right that minute to come home. I calmed him down, and we shared a good laugh. He's still coming home early, though.
