How or why did you forget? In all honesty now? I don't get it.

Oh and you could get your wedding date engraved on your wedding ring.

Well how does one forget anything? And believe me, i won't need the date engraved on my wedding ring because i won't be forgetting it again.

Well usually "one" forgets something "one" doesn't care about.

Right, as the title says, i completely forgot my wedding anniversary is today. Just got a call from the wife to see how the children were this morning as she was gone to work before they got up. Anyway at the end of the conversation she says "happy anniversary by the way". I said, "Sh*t i completely forgot" so there’s no getting around the fact that she knows i forgot. Its damage limitation now i suppose. So what do i do AH?

When you get home, tell her that you want a divorce and that you've been off riding everything for the last few months. Keep pushing it all, making it worse until it hits a crescendo. Just as she's about to leave for her mum's house, burst out laughing and tell her that it was all a big joke and that you love her lots (maybe now's the time to hit her with the flowers you picked up from the petrol station forecourt on your way back from work). She'll be so relieved and happy that you're not leaving her and/or an adulterer prick that forgetting about the anniversary will be forgiven.

That's what I'd do anyway.

White flag and "sad face" at the same time I think....

Book a hotel, with champagne & strawberries reception, find an overnight babysitter, take a half day and get home & packed.

Then when she gets there... "You didn't really believe I forgot did you?"

Just make sure that the babysitter is an absolute munter or you will have another minefield to tip toe round.

well all i can say is you're only human...if it was a 10yr anniversary then i could understand her maybe being pissed off. then again for me if it was a big anniversary coming up I would plan with my OH want we were gonna do. it's not just her anniversary, it's both of yours.

i think your gestures will do well to save the night and as someone else said, you'll probably never forget again...aaand the last thing i'd say is...at least you care enough to come on here and ask for advice. you're not in the box of "he never remembers our anniversary", you're actually very much annoyed at yourself for forgetting and i'd prefer an OH that cares that he forgot than one who doesn't.

My husband forgot our 10 year anniversary a couple of weeks ago. He'll be in traction for the next 12 weeks!! Obviously kidding - I had a fair idea once he didn't mention it by lunchtime. Silly bint that I am I didn't mention it until after dinner (which I cooked) and I couldn't be annoyed with him when I saw his face (shock and fear).

So Tim here is what you do. Have a lovely warm bubble bath ready for your wife when she gets home, order her fav take-away and buy a bottle or two of wine/beer, turn off the tv, light a few candles and have a nice evening.

What men don't realise is that the most important thing a woman wants on a special occasion is not to have to cook dinner.

As for those saying that you only forget what isn't important - what a load of sh**e! Not everyone lives their lives by looking at the calender, quite often I couldn't tell you what date it is. I once forgot my own birthday, I only remembered cause my mother rang me.

Would you not just tell her that you thought today was the 28th?!

I'm marrying a man who has not remembered one single birthday in 9 years, sometimes, including his own.


Cans, chinese, shag. Sorted.




Maybe I should start to re-evaluate my standards.....

I think to not remember the birthday of someone you claim to love for 9 years is just lazy and thoughtless -it costs nothing but consideration to wish someone a happy birthday

I would agree, if I gave a toss about birthdays - I appreciate the random HB lolly or chocolate bar on a crap tuesday more than I'd appreciate some stupid gift set just because someone feels they have to. I stopped celebrating birthdays a long time ago, what is the point, woohoo I survived another year? Nah.

It amuses me that people get so annoyed over forgotten dates. What happens if someone wants to celebrate after 350 days of marriage, do they have to wait another 15 to prove that they REALLY mean it? A load of.....

Yep but if they can't even remember their own birthday.

Maybe she won't be bothered? I'm a married woman and while I can remember the wedding date we never bother celebrating it. Its all a money racket.

Why does it have to be a money racket? You don't have to spend money to celebrate something.

I think spontaneous 'just because' little treats on random Tuesdays are wonderful too and whereas I agree that becoming excessively upset over a missed date is futile, I just think you sound a little overtly-cynical about celebrating special times. Personally, I think the marking of milestones is what detracts from the mundaneity of everyday life and I can't imagine a world where people didn't make a special effort for those they love to remember special occasions.

Not all birthday giftsets are bought out of obligation, some people are genuinely happy that the person they care about is alive and well to see and spend another year together

Completely agree with you here. I'm lucky to be appreciated with random bars of my favourite chocs, perfume, a night out. I think that we should be appreciated more than a couple of "Hallmark card" days per year.

I absolutely know he'll forget our anniversary in a few days time, but yesterday he arrived home with a bar of chocolate and a bunch of flowers - just becasue.

Much more meaningful to me.

is tim.....dead? :eek:

Well...what happened?!

Dunny

He got the roide of his life.

scdublin

Doubt it was from the wife though! Unless he managed to smooth things over

Word on the street is that Tim went home to the wife, wallet full ready to bring her out for a slap up meal! Anyway key goes in the door but the chain is on. Wife is shouting all sorts at home, the kind of language that would make a whore blush Tells him to piss off and don't come back for a long time!

Well Tim has a wallet bursting with cash so he decided to treat himself and off he goes down the local 'brazzer' shop to get his pipes cleaned. Spies a love 21 year old from Latvia and books her for an hour, he avails of the special hourly rate with the the extra of either a 'ringstinger' or a 'Dick Turpin' thrown in (customer's choice). Well she was tighter than a miser's fist and he well and truly emptied his bag. After that it was off to the local for a game of darts and a few pints with the lads followed by the casino where he proceeded to win a grand. Turned up on the doorstep home with flowers from Centra at 9 o'clock the next morn, was given the cold shoulder but left into the house with the strict understanding that he was sleeping in the 'sin bin' for the next week.

As he said later on, "I might forget our anniversary again but I'll never forget this anniversary!!!" :pac:

slavetothegrind

almost completely accurate kfallon, except for the bit where she says on receiving the flowers
" i suppose you want me to spread my legs now?"

and he replys

" sure a vase would do!"
