Just A Quickie: What Are Your Thoughts on Anniversaries?
Like any other holiday, some like to believe that anniversaries are just made up so we can boost up the economy a little bit, but there is no actual need to spend all that money on gifts and chocolates on Valentine’s day. Personally, I love anniversaries. It's not a holiday that people make up, and when you go celebrate it's not just you and your SO. Life is, well, repetitive and boring sometimes. We go to work everyday and it's the holiday/anniversaries like this that makes our life a little more interesting. It is also a great opportunities to reflect on the relationship and appreciate what you have been through and built on.
I am sure many people would agree with me that male do not view anniversaries as important as females. Maybe they only view it as importance because the female CARES about it. If the female actually do not care, the male would probably be glad to forget it too. I mean, one less present to buy and one less event to plan right? And to the romantic guys out there-- seriously, if a girl doesn't care about celebrating an anniversary, are you going to oppose?
I think anniversaries are great, but only when my SO remembers it, which unfortunately never happens to me. I tell myself that it's because he's so busy and he doesn't have his priorities straight, and he happens to be the most unromantic person I know. I know, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about me, he's just not good with anniversaries but if he CARES about me, he should remember it, right? I even reminded him two weeks earlier-- if literally have to remind him each time a anniversary/holiday comes up I really don't feel like celebrating either.
So guys, please remember your anniversaries with you SO. Maybe you don't get it, but it shows that you care and it truly makes the girls really happy.
Ladies, do you agree?

celebrate EVERY MONTH!!!!
I celebrate every day and every moment with my bf..luckily my bf remembers our anniversary =)
My bf and I don't celebrate anniversaries.
Instead we buy each other, "Just because I love you" gifts, or he surprises me with a special date. Surprises are so much better anywayWe stopped celebrating, mostly because we've gone on hiatus whenever personal or career/education business got in the way. It'd be four years altogether in November, but I doubt we'll do anything. I feel like anniversaries are better saved for celebrating in a marriage.
Yeah, my fiance and I don't do the anniversary thing. It feels like such an trite way to celebrate the relationship.
we say "happy anniversery" every month but never do anything about it. we've been together almost 2 years.
I usually say Happy ________ Anniversary, but as of recently, I've forgotten to say it. School's been starting back and I've had a lot on my mind to sort into my daily schedule. Does it mean I don't care? No, it doesn't. Some people don't have that great of a memory, especially if they are busy. I do admit that I should try to remember, which I do. But being caught up in life can deter you sometimes.
I've celebrated every month until 6 months. Then if make it to the year, just yearly.
We'll have been together three years on November 4th (technically, it's the 2nd, but we weren't "Facebook official" until the 4th, so that's what he goes by... lol).
I think that every day, every hour, every moment, spent together is worthy of celebration. =)
@guyf@xanga - My bf and I do that actually c:
i used to be so caught up in anniversaries back when i first started dating but after a while, it just became the same routine so i stopped worrying about it, if he remembered it then he did but if he didn't, i wouldn't be upset because we all make mistakes. though i always remember it so i would always get something to him even if i don't get something back in return.
I don't care about anniversaries. My cousin (boy) just married his long time girlfriend, and he remembered the day (they just got back from cancun in celebration). One year in dating is good, 2 year celebration is good. Once married I like it like this 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... and onward. Those are milestones. I won't care if it's our third anniversary and he bought me a balloon. I would care if it was our fifth, and he surprised me with a trip to germany. (thatd be awesome). So, it goes both ways. girls can care, can not really care. guys can care, or can not really care.
I actually beg to differ. SOME anniversaries should be remembered sure. It all depends on the age/maturity you're at. If it's a high school relationship then yes, monthy, weekly I celebrated. But as life moves on the "We've been together 2 weeks" its a bit much. Yearly anniversaries I believe in recognizing, because to be honest with the way the family structure of America is changing people may not even get married; so that's as close as you're going to get to a happy relationship.
My BF actually has to remind ME when out anniversaries are, granted he tells me the months, and I remember the year. Being together for 15 months isn't all that crazy. Unless you're a baby nothing is measured in months.
I suppose, if I reached a 1 year anniversary ever...then I would want to celebrate it. I was out with a friend yesterday and bumped into another girlfriend celebrating her six month anniversary. I of course said "That's great, you guys are so cute, congratulations." And I meant it, they are cute. BUT seriously? I was wondering if it was just a date out or if it was a date specific for the occasion.
I wouldn't make a fuss about monthly anniversaries... it seems silly. I'd rather have an amazing one year, hotel, champagne...etc. My friend who was with me thought it was pathetic but shes more jaded than me.
I had a roommate who would force her bf to get her a gift monthly like she would tell him "you can get me J.Lo perfume or the LOST dvd set for season 3..." Like c'mon! Its not genuine then!
Oh well....I do believe a guy should treat you with love and respect everyday.
I´m a woman and I dont care about things like birthdays or anniversaries. Hell, I would probably be the one to forget such things in a relationship (I have, in the past). My birthday is just a day like any other, pretty overrated in my opinion. I wont be offended if anyone forgets it. Geez. Some girls really need to take it easy.
