Nah. It happens. My wife forgot my birthday the other day. I texted her a clue in the afternoon and she felt really bad. But she is usually really good about remembering and has done some great things for me on birthdays and anniversaries. It's just that she has had a lot going on lately. When she came home later in the evening, she brought me a sweet card and a small, chocolate birthday cake.
I've occasionally slipped up, too. It's no biggie as long as we let each other know how much we care for each other.

It depends, the only one that would upset me is a marriage anniversary. I probably wouldn't remember when we became a couple so I wouldn't care for those ones. As for the marriage ones I'd probably only care about maybe the first like 2 anniversaries. Mainly because its new and fun to get to do something to celebrate us as a married couple. After that if our anniversary is spent binge watching TV while eating more food than necessary and us realizing 3 days later and saying a quick Happy Anniversary darling, I'm cool with that. I'll probably do something small to celebrate if I remember but I wouldn't do it so my partner feels obligated.
There is in fact 1 time that you cannot get mad at your partner of they forget your anniversary!! When? you ask well... Ill tell you my experience
My husband forgot our Anniversary ONCE and I was NOT able to get upset.. why? Because I too forgot.. The only reason we knew is because my parents anniversary is right after ours and my dad made a comment to my husband.. He said hey your anniversary is in a couple days aunt it? My husband looked atcthe date on his phone and replied Nope it was yesterday! lmao
We've both forgotten several times. We just aren't into dates and celebrations. Christmas is celebrated sometime in January after everything goes on super sale. Valentine's day... Forget it. But we do remember to stock up on the left over Godivas on the 15th of Feb. We ain't stoopit.

Not really. I would be disappointed and feel unvalued, but people do forget at times. I believe that while an anniversary is important. You should be wanting to talk about what types of traditions and relationship you both want. It is not a must for me, but it is important to know that you are loved and valued by who you're with. Otherwise, you need to question your relationship.
No, but I will expect them to make it up by spending more time with me. All I need is them anyway spending time together is better than any gift or romantic scene. And I will definitely question him to see if he forgot or if he just didn't care and what was happening in his life but that's a WHOLE different story lol.
i think it depends.
like under normal circumstances id be upset, not like angry or sobbing because it happens, but i wouldn't be like angry or full on sobbing, just a little sad.
but if a lot has been going on in their life, like a family loss, unemployment or literally anything else, i would give them a pass. your anniversary isn't the most important thing rn and it is totallly understandable that they forgot about it because their mind is focused on more pressing mattersNo, it’s not that important to remember the exact date. As long as the couple celebrates together on their own time and give their full attention to each other then everything should be fine.
Forgetfulness happens and is excusable unless it’s a situation where the person just takes you for granted and is no longer interested in making you feel special. In that case, you break up because it’s not your responsibility to make them remember why they chose to commit to you.Its happened before. I kinda dont expect guys to remember. Then again, i forgot their bdays so its only fair
I would hope that our wedding anniversary would be something to remember.
But you know, things happen, people get busy, distracted, sick, overwhelmed at work or home.
I'm into forgiving people.
They can make up for it later.To be honest, my boyfriend and I forgot our anniversary...
We both know our first date was in January. So we do something special in January.
But to be honest I am not a big fan of anniversaries, because I feel like you HAVE to do something just like with Valentine's day. I rather want it to be genuine if you know what I mean.
But to answer your question, it would not really bother me. Life is busy, we sometimes forget stuff.Absolutely. My man should have 3 things to never forget, my birthday, our anniversary, and my starbuck order. The only must have 3 things I ask them to remember. Write it down if you have to but gees.
Ifs a big word with all lifes trials tribulations and eventual trilogies houng on it's acceptable. But with our lifestyles thats not happening unless you have amnesia or pass on.
That never happens, either way. We celebrate our wedding anniversary and also the day we met. Usually we go out to dinner but restaurants in Seattle are all closed for indoor dining.
Has not happened and highly doubt it will, our only relevant celebration days are our anniversary, birthday&Christmas lol
I would try and be more understanding in the event that they may have a lot going on at the time such as meetings at work or projects etc
Wouldn’t even know they’d forgotten it in the first place. I’m not very sentimental.
It depends. ... Did i remember? Also did i remind my parter at least a week in advance so they could take time from work ti do something with me?
Yes, but only because they forgot it, as opposed to not receiving a card or gift.
It happens every year. I don’t know my anniversary off hand, I’d need to look it up. We haven’t celebrated in years.
It would hurt a little, but it would not be a big deal.
maybe a little ar 1st but i know am horrible at remembering such things too. i gave actually forgotten my iwn bday, i think am up to 3 times now.
41 years married... thats not a score card. We are human.. forgetting is not a excuse, but asking for forgiveness and providing a gift.. will be more worth while.
If she was really busy and stressed out then I wouldn't be that upset but if she simply forgot then I'd think she wasn't too serious about us and I'd definitely be upset.
