Today, it's my wedding anniversary; my husband forgot. My daughter gave me two beautiful long stem roses and said she would look after her sister while we went out to celebrate. My daughter is more romantic and thoughtful than my own husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was our 12th anniversary. My husband only remembered because family members texted to wish us a happy anniversary. When he went out to the store to get groceries, he didn't even buy me flowers. He's also irritated that I "seem sad or something." FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot my birthday. I did however remember to tell him we were sending his mother flowers, for her birthday, which falls a week after mine. We've been together 10 years. I sent her flowers on my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, we had two-year wedding anniversary. A few months ago, I insisted on going to a therapist because my wife can only think and talk about our one-year kid. My present for her was a Spa day, flowers and chocolate. Her gift to me was a Lego set to build for our kid. FML
Today, I went all out for my husband on our anniversary. I planned meals, took him to a stage show, and got him a bottle of cologne he loves. He was moody, distant, and at one point crying. Why? He found out his ex-wife is getting married today and he couldn’t stop thinking about her. FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML
Today, my husband tried to be romantic by throwing me in a bed laid with roses. Too bad he forgot to remove the thorns first. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML

This is the future of "It's really windy out" guy. You shouldn't have kept pushing for marriage! Anyway, at least the world didn't end, so that's all good.

Since he's forgetful you should remind him by telling him you are going out with the daughter who remembered your anniversary and leaving him home to watch the little one.

Spite of this, be happy about it. You've raised fine children :)

Ah, one of the many joys of growing old together.

in twenty years your daughter will be in your shoes. I'm sure he has loads of other lovable sides, since you got married and everything :)

Why is it always the man who has to be romantic on anniversaries? He forgot, you remembered, do it.

Totally agree with you. Also she said its "her" anny, not "our" anny. I bet that has a lot to do with it too. My man doesn't remember my events & I don't remember his. We both remember ours and we both remind the other of our own events. It takes two to manage a fulfilling relationship.

It sounds sexist, but in general women have a better head for dates and anniversaries of special events. Try getting him a calendar and helping him write in important things. Meanwhile, remember he's still the man you love, even if he did make an insulting mistake.

"Today it's * my * wedding anniversary"? Not your husband's? I'm confused here...

No it's not his, just hers, all alone, hence he forgot!

I think it sounds slightly selfish...

And I think you are overthinking it. Is it too hard to think maybe OP did not think of doing it at the moment she wrote the FML? It's not like it's only her husband's either.

You're really nitpicking here. She wrote "my" because she wrote the FML herself.

How do you forget a day like that?

That's really sweet.

YDI, if you want a big deal made, you should give him a heads up.

Sorry OP... He's going to feel horrible when he finally remembers or is told... I m sure he is going to grovel and make it up to you. Or maybe he has a surprise planned... You never know. P.S: You have a lovely daughter. You must be a proud mommy. :)
