im nervous about my anniversary

ladysimpkins · September 2009

dh kind of sucks at planning romantic holidays...like he does sweet things all the time, but on days it actually matters, it slips his mind...right after he puts on his xbox headset...

valentines day was a chinese restaurant at the last minute...btw, that's who I got my rose from...the restaurant...

today's our anniversary and we're kind of broke. DH loves when I bake for him, so I made him double chocolate Peanut Butter brownies...5 bucks...

Im afraid Dh isn't going to do anything at all...and it makes me scared because Im going to be super dissappointed...then, last night, we had sexy time and he looks at me and says "happy anniversary!" afterwards...granted, the clock had passed midnight...but I don't know if he was just expressing the day or trying to tell me that sex was his inexpensive gift...I laid there confused like, "was that it?"

I would take a poem, a note, something small...as long as it celebrated our day and came from his heart...I really hope he comes through on this one...

My remedy for this is to not expect anything, and then I'm always pleasantly surprised if he does anything. Big Smile

Hope you get what you want though!

i hope he does something nice for you. even if it is "just" a thoughtful note on a nice card- it shows he thought about it.

wow between this and the whole MIL moving in fiasco i want to throatpunch your DH.

whatever happened with that?

I had to LOL at this.

I really hope that he comes through for you. If you give me his email I will drop him a hint Wink

I hope that "sexy time" wasn't his idea of an anniversary gift and he gets you a card or something. I'm with you I would be disappointed even if I tried not to be.

NICE! I'm glad he realized what a bad idea it was.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt for the day, but if by dinner there's no sign of a note, a letter, a card, etc., I would ask him with a pointed look if he liked the brownies.

yes! purse your lips in an attitude-y way and slam your fork down on the table for dramatic flare!

then... if he didn't do anything.... unplug his xbox and tell him "im pawning this and buying myself an anniversary gift"

better yet, dont tell him, just do it. buy something nice, and put it in the same exact place where his video games go and when he goes to play them he'll be all "WTF" and you'll be all "OH dont you love my new anniversary present?"

Bwahahaha!!! I like the way you think, Kristin!!! Yes, that sounds like a wonderful plan!

I hear ya... I'm often disappointed in the very last minute things that DH will do to celebrate a special day. I'm really trying to learn to not expect anything at all.

For example... this past Mother's Day... my FIRST EVER Mother's Day... DH snuck out of the house to quickly run to the store and buy some cheap snow globe and a card. He wrote the card out the morning of and that was it. I've had similar situations for our anniversary, birthday and valentines day too.

I make sure to remind him, i write it in the calendar, and at least once a day I ask him what he's getting me and I take pictures of things that I like and text them to him.

just throw into a conversation that there were some really pretty flowers at the store today when you went in and how pretty they would look on your table.
