My father has a few times forgotten their wedding anniversary. My parents have been together for over 30 years, and occasionally it has slipped his mind. My mum made a light joke about his old age memory, but never made a fuss about it. They got on with their lives. He's human after all. I've always held the belief that any woman who throws her dummy out about things like this need to grow up a bit. My ex forgot our 2 year anniversary. My mum completely and utterly forgot about my 25th birthday last year. It happens. Who cares, it's a minor thing.

Did she forget to? I would think she either forgot too or she was silently holding it in thinking you would forget! I always have a gift bought ahead etc--so once my hubby saw this or the card waiting for him whatever he would quickley remember--that and we talk about it in advance!

LMAO. Let's have a funeral service for Brother Lao. He was a very intelligent man that would bend over backward for his loved ones and his family. His wife forced him to eat until he burst and he died an untimely death. A moment of silence please......

Lao,

It's a good thing you workout. At least you'll be able to protect yourself from getting hurt. Maybe you could wind the date back on your watch about a week and pretend like you think your anniversary is still days away.

Go buy a giant rock. Make a big deal of giving it to her. Tell her you had to special order it and the damn shipping was delayed. Make a big deal about the shipping being delayed. Stupid guys shipping it two days late. Let her know for sure it was the shipping. That damn shipping! She'll know you are fibbing to cover, but if you do it right, it will be cute and you'll survive. Mostly.

Better come up with something pretty special... quickly... book a romantic week-end and buy something shiny and pretty to distract her from this appalling breach of marital etiquette. Get her a present so "special" it took longer to deliver...

Seriously though how anyone nowadays can forget any such landmarks is beyond me with all the gadgets we have which can be programmed to flash on our screens, make loud beeping alarm sounds ( cell phones, blackberries etc.. ) or let's face it simply good old fashioned paper.

Anyway it can't be that hard to remember two dates ? Birthday and Wedding Day? Come on LaoTzuMindFu , you can do better than this in the future.

I hope the Dog-house isn't too lonely and too cold... And not of a long duration.

Send her flowers to arrive today and tell her in the note that she should look forward to a weekend away in honor of your anniversary.

Take Friday off go someplace and have a romantic weekend together.
