Ever hear of older teenaged/young adult (let's say, 15-24 year olds or so) girls "celebrating" stupid anniversaries in a relationship? Noticed this on a social networking site- someone posted:
Quote:
"Tomorrow is our 5th month- I reminded him, think he'll remember?"
and to which I replied similarly:
Quote:
"Fifth month? ...they call it an anniversary for a reason, it comes once per year."
Got this response:
Quote:
"Oh shut up. I celebrate the first and fifth and the sixth before the one year"
Opinions? Just sounds funny to me, and kinda stupid- is it really that important to these girls to remember the "exact day" every month?
I am a 24 year old woman, and I don't do it. I do not think it is something horrendous to do, though. If it makes her happy, what is the harm? Don't date a younger girl, if you think they are silly or immature. What most men don't get is that you can remember an event without spending a lot of money. Take her on a picnic that you planned and fixed the food for. Tell her you remembered and make her a card. All she really wants is for you to tell her that it means something to you that you two have made it for this length of time. If a woman just wants an expensive gift(no matter her age), dump her. Most women, despite all the claims to the contrary on this forum, would be happy with just something that says you feel lucky to have her.
You're right, an anniversary measures one year, but teen girls and younger women aren't going to have many of those. To them, a month is a big deal. Six months is a long time to be doing anything, from their point of view. So it's a matter of perspective. As they get older, hopefully such "milestones" will mean less and less.
My husband bought me earings to "celebrate" one month together. We were in H.S. at the time but I thought it was sweet.
Those little milestones can mean a lot to someone at that age simply because they have never gotten 1 month, 3 months, 6 months...etc into a relationship before.
My husband and I certainly don't celebrate months or weeks now, but we still do verbally recognize when we first started dating and consider that a mini-anniversary (which was about 5.5 yrs before we were married).
but hubby and i have been married 14 years now and our anniversary is just another day- and a marker weve gotten through another year without killing eachother
most of the time we forget about it, honestly. its just not a big deal for either of us.
I only remember the important dates like birthdays (ONCE a year). Last week my friend was SO happy because yesterday was their 5th month "anniversary" with her boyfriend and she just couldn't stop telling people. I am happy for her but no more, please! The other day we were working with a co-worker and it was his 6th month, and she was shocked that he could remember. She said "That's good because every guy NEEDS to remember their "anniversary"." No. Every guys DOES NOT need to remember unless they want to.

Oh geez. Of COURSE young people do this. It might seem silly to us older folks, but certainly at that age (I'd draw the line at 20 or so though) a month or 6 months is quite an accomplishment.
It's harmless. And you sound like an old fart. Don't be that guy.
