Today, I was watching TV and started freaking out thinking I forgot to wish my boyfriend a happy anniversary. I wrote him a text and after I'd sent it, I realized that the date is mine and my ex's anniversary date. FML

Today, I realized that my boyfriend‘s birthday was two weeks ago, so I immediately sent him a message as if it was today. He didn’t believe my excuses. FML
Today, I sent a text message to my boyfriend, saying, "Come over in an hour, I love you." An hour later, the doorbell rang. It was my ex, looking happy and still as smitten with me as before, with a bunch of roses. I'd got the wrong number. My ex and my boyfriend have the same name. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My ex just sent me a text. I read it, happy he had remembered. He wanted me to know he has a new girlfriend. FML
Today, I was looking at the annoucements in the newspaper and find out that my boyfriend of the past 6 years is supposed to be married in 2 days to what I thought was his ex-girlfriend. FML

Today, I found out that the reason my boyfriend hasn't texted me recently is that he'd forgotten he was dating anyone. FML
Today, after my husband said he forgot our anniversary 2 days ago because he was so focused on planning for today, he forgot what was so important about today. It's my birthday. FML

Having to remember anniversary dates is lame, especially if you aren't even married. YDI.

It's true though, anniversaries, valentine's day, whatever other mushy love day I forgot are dumb. If you love someone show them every day don't wait for some day that society has decided to tell us is important.

You are correct!

Unlike Valentine's Day, Anniversary are between you and your love one and no one else. I celebrate my wedding anniversary and the date of the first time I had sex. (My husband is my first and only.) Yes, I agree you can show your love every day but if you don't do something special every once in awhile it's easy to become jaded and routines are boring. I only hope those guys/girls that think dating anniversary are stupid find a partner that thinks like them.

I did not say you have to wait to show your love to your spouse untill it's some special day, but I don't get why you are so negative about special days. I don't like Valentine's Day, because then the whole world is celebrating their love, but I still try to make it a special day, with a little present and lots of love. I spend the most effort in my anniversary though, because that's our personal special love day. Even if society didn't support celebrating it, I would be doing it. You may think it's lame, but for me, it's just a sweet gesture. Just a couple of weeks waiting and my thirth anniversary is there. Yay.

#40, I promise I won't judge you for feeling that your anniversary is special. Just don't expect me to remember. I have enough trouble remembering birthdays. Luckily my boyfriend feels the same. Our anniversary is in December sometime in the year 20??.

My comment wasn't supposed to stand here either... Ah Cenobyte, I also have it very difficult with dates, but I can remember my anniversary easily. Ofcourse I do not expect the same from everybody, but I still find it weird if people say it's lame to remember it.

interesting way of thinking, to me anniversaries such as your first time(if you're with him), bdays, engagement, wedding day, day you got together, is a day you can keep your lover to yourself. me and my fiancé have a lot of dates we "celebrate" theyre treated normal in what we do but the date is special to us, we mainly cuddle or just be closer to each other. last vday... we slept xDD ALLLLL day x3

DjeePee - Perhaps I should rather have said that it's lame to 'freak out' about it.

I just don't like the teenage obsession with monthly celebrations. Anniversary is supposed to refer to a year, and while I understand it's quite the feat for two 16-17 year olds to stay together for more than a month, it's still slightly obnoxious to see the Facebook statuses saying "2 months today! xoxo <3 love u, dinner tonight!" etc. or how I know people who set their phone signatures as the day they were asked out.

^ Agreeeeed. My high school girlfriend was like that.. Even at almost 2 years.. I ignored it =D But, if you think that's bad.. My ex's bestfriend just posted on her profile something about their "25 month anniversary".. I think that's ******* ridiculous. 25 months? It's kind of almost not annoying up to a year.. But a 25 month anniversary seems utterly idiotic.. Especially when she's 20 and he's 24.

ehh I agree valentines day is stupid, and I agree that you should show loved ones that you care every day. however, there's nothing wrong with doing something extra special to celebrate the beginning of a relationship.

what anniversry. ur not married so im sure he doesnt care or would have remembered in the first place

I agree. I HATE when people make a huge deal about them when they aren't married. acknowledgment of the day you met, first date etc is one thing, counting and celebrating the months/weeks is another. IMO of course

It's sad that you hate peoples celebrations of their love for one another. If it makes them happy, why should you care?
vettle 6
yeah who seriously cares?? plus many people are together for a long time without getting married... so they shouldn't be allowed to celebrate? YOU are one of those people that are against gay marriage because you think it affects you somehow. Jesus.

you need to get over the past.
sourgirl101 28
Tell him it's the anniversary of the first time you gave him a ********.(:
muchagente 5
only the less. if you get the anniversaries mixed up when you're asleep it shows that you're still dreaming of your ex. your bf should dump you instantly. this is a response to no 60.

Say it's the anniversary of you giving him a ******** for the first time, and that you have an appropriate celebration gift for him.
Doortje 29
Huh, sourgirl, that was not meant as a response to you :O and of course I hadn't even read your comment.. Weird.
sourgirl101 28
Doortje! Are we thinking alike again? Lol
Doortje 29
We are! :D and all of a sudden my comment isn't a reply to yours anymore :O I knew I didn't mess up, I knew it! :P
