It goes both ways, really So true. I think a nice, romantic dinner, flowers and really amazing sex would be fine for a 1 year.

It's my fault though -- I should have anticipated these replies. FFS, contrary to what some of you are responding with, I don't think this marriage is all about me, or that the world revolves around me .... whatever it is you're trying to say. Some cynical heffas around here . I understand; it's a special day for a couple; you'd like to think he gives a damn. I've been married for 16 years and my husband and I always do something, even as simple as going out to dinner, on our anniversary. It's not about being "forced to be romantic", it's about acknowledging something special.

And the traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper, so you don't even have to serve on the good china!!

We DO communicate, and aside from the blip, everything in our lives is perfect. I've expressed to him just what I feel is missing and what I would like for him to do every now and then to bring it back. It was a 2-way conversation, and it has happened more than once during the 7 1/2 years that we've been together. Dude, I feel you. I've dated guys who don't really care about anniversaries, birthdays, etc. (not even their own) and it's frustrating when you want/expect a gesture on a day you consider special.

I think I've been looking at this all wrong. I spoke with my husband after making this thread, and we will be having a nice picnic in the park next week after my friend goes back to Greece. Oh - and he already bought my card ... that already means so much and has really made my night! Thanks again.

Bingo. I can't believe that your reaction to finding out he hasn't planned anything is to make plans without him. I get that you want him to be more romantic, I've been married 4 1/2 years, I understand that desire, but I don't think you are going about it the right way based on what you've said here.

Really, this girl from Greece has been here since August 8th and will be leaving on August 30th and we haven't seen each other in almost 15 years aside from the time we've spent together while she's here on her vacation. FWIW, I invited my husband to come along, but he'd rather continue the re-wiring he started a couple of weeks ago.
