Happy anniversary, Honey!

Today, it was my boyfriend and mine's six-month anniversary. I've really fallen in love with him, and I know he loves me the same, so I got him a really nice gift, a watch he's had his eye on for as long as I've known him. It was expensive. What did he get me? A condom. Three actually. FML

Six months and you buy him a really expensive watch?

Not very many guys think every month-iversary is particularly special, especially since a lot of girls tend to have their own 'schema' as to which ones are important and which aren't.

If it comes to your 1 year anniversary and he buys you condoms, THEN is the time to complain about it to the internet/kick his behind/so on so forth.

What a great bf. He must have thought long and hard about that gift.... "hmm, ok man, its our 6 month anniversery and i really love her, i need to get her something that shows this. Oh i know, what about a romantic getaway for the weekend, or mabey that expensive dress she's had her eyes on. WAIT! IVE GOT IT! 3 CONDOMS! God, im totally like the best bf ever"

he thought "long and hard" about the gift? Not sure if the pun was intended, but either way that's awesome!

Oh, what a mismatch! I don't know what to vote. 6 months into a relationship, why would you buy something so expensive? (not even a "whole" anniversary even). HOWEVER, he'd better come up with nothing rather than that, or made up smth on the spot, such as "Oh I know, I take you out for an icecream".

I think the fact he even knew it was your 6 month anniversary is pretty special. I wouldn't even remember a 1 year anniversary if I wasn't reminded.

Because I don't think 6 months is a big deal? If I want to do something nice for my partner, I do it. Not because there's an occasion to, and 6 months is NOT an occasion. It's like, half-way too an occasion.

No I think "you're a terrible boyfriend" was referring to the fact that you said you wouldn't even remember your 1 year if you weren't reminded. I kind of have to agree with that one...that's kinda bad dude.

So what? Wedding anniversaries I can understand remembering, but dating? Come on. Are you going to celebrate the first time you met, the first date you went on, or from the day you first started officially dating? Maybe if you're still in high school, but most mature relationships develop, not just "start" one day, that you can use as an excuse to buy presents for each other a year later. Pretty sure I'm not a bad bf because I don't remember completely trivial and useless things like that.

I can't think of any man in his right mind who would remember a dating anniversary.

Dude, I was just trying to make the point you misunderstood clear. Don't get all butt-hurt about it.

Well... maybe he didn't think that it was so important? >___

I hope no one yells at me for being the only classics nerd on FML but...I hate it when people try to apply the word "ANNiversary" to a period of months. Although to be fair, I can't think of a good alternative. I feel bad for the OP, though. It never hurts to casually say a few weeks beforehand, "Hey, are we doing gifts?"

I agree with that. Anni refers to years. Seriously though, men and women think differently. For our 2nd valentines, I got my boyfriend some of his favourite, very expensive cologne. He bought me lingerie. That's not exactly a present for me is it? Lol.

Well, to be fair, he may like the cologne, but do you really expect him to use it just so he can go around smelling himself?

I agree to an extent. I don't think one month anniversaries, two month anniversaries, etc. make sense which a LOT of people did in high school. I found that annoying. But I personally like: 6 month, 1 year, and each year after. I guess something about the end of first six months to me is a sign that things are going good, and the first months of a relationship tend to be the cutest.

Also, 6 month anniversaries aren't just limited to people in high school. A lot of college students do it too. Most people don't celebrate it with expensive gifts though, at least not the couples I talked to. I've understood it as a date you acknowledge, and celebrate by hanging out together, not necessarily with gifts.

Anniversaries happen every YEAR! And in case you didn't get it the keyword here is YEAR. A 6 month anniversary is just pointless and random, and it just makes you look desperate to celebrate the occasion.

His present is awesome. I don't think you should get someone something expensive unless you've been seeing them for at least a year but even then I think its pushing it slightly.
