You have said you are low key re birthdays, Christmas, etc, would he know that it doesn’t include anniversaries?

No you are not being unreasonable Vicky, I do think women are a bit more emotional over these things but the least he could do is remember.

Well, I’m sitting here waiting for my husband to remember our wedding anniversary. Every year he forgets unless I (or our daughter) have reminded him very recently. I am truly very low-key over birthdays, christmas etc but AIBU to be somewhat fed up with my husband’s lack of thought?
With me, it is truly ‘the thought that counts’ and I don’t want gifts or cards, just him to remember the day .
Just before Christmas he starts huffing and puffing about not knowing what to buy me for Christmas and what a problem it is. He usually gets me a Chocolate Orange or a box of After Eights. That’s fine, but I wish he wouldn’t complain about having to shop for them.
I arranged a family lunch on our Golden Wedding three years ago and he didn’t buy me a gift at all. Said he was ‘too busy’.
I know it’s not important in the scheme of things, but I’m just feeling a bit unappreciated.
