to acknowledge anniversaries of special days in your time together? By acknowledge, I mean recognizing that the anniversary exists. I don't mean recognizing them by exchanging gifts, etc.
Yesterday was our 9th wedding anniversary and it came and went without notice. My husband mentioned that it was coming up a couple weeks ago, but dropped the thought and left it at that.
I am continually disappointed when he doesn't remember events like these. I'm not dissappointed enough to do a downward spiral into depression, but my disappointment make me think there is something wrong with our relationship and that I need to move on. I would like to find someone who regards me as their friend and do the tings friends do for each other like remembering special days in our lives.
How can one "move on" with children who are 5, 2 and 1? Or how can I get over this and accept that this is par for the course?
Thanks for listening!
