Your previous commitment is a work related event you are expected to attend.
Not really. She said she RSVP'd to work events which implies that she had a choice to go or not. One is a dinner, presumably after work hours.
I don't have an issue with celebrating the day before or after, but if my SO showed such disregard by not even checking with me, that would be an issue.
My So is very into anniversaries and we always celebrate our first meeting by going out and repeating that first date. And I love it that he wants to keep these memories and celebrate us finding each other.
What's not to celebrate? It isn't every day you're found by the love of your life when you finally decided what you didn't want, how you didn't want to go about finding it, and prayed for maybe just one more chance at real love as opposed to what you merely thought was love. Then, bingo!---you found me!
Why shouldn't I want to celebrate that as best I can?
Wondering how guys would feel if on their anniversary their gf/wife had a work event pop up last minute?
I just found out my boss (VP) will be in town Monday next week, which is our 3 year anniversary. I dont know if my boyfriend had something planned or not, but I already RSVP for dinner and some work activities that day. It's not that the anniversary slipped my mind, but I figured we could do it another day. I just got off the phone with my bf and he seemed bent out of shape about it.
Any advice here? Should I cancel on the work function I already RSVP'd to?
Any good man recognizes that he is a partner in a relationship...events will occur that, for the long term improvement of a relationship will necessarily be and should be prioritized over short term, immediate gratification...

And yet has nothing to do with the fact that she made the decision to prioritize the work event over the anniversary without talking to the guy first. If she had said hey this work deal is important can we do dinner another night then cool. But she made that choice without him which is not going to work.

Absolutely. I was reffering to the concept in general...specifically, in reference to the OP, she completely screwed the pooch...
Isn't he already upset with you for not wanting to spend more.time with him during the week? Did you not stop to think that blowing off your anniversary might be a bad idea? Sounds rather selfish to me. You could have asked him first, and possibly compromised.
I didn't read all 6 pages as i got this far. I agree with the quoted post.
I have never had a relationship with someone that we didn't celebrate the year anniversery each time. I don't go overboard with that stuff, but IMO, if you don't care enough about the relationship to at least discuss it with him, I would think that there are major problems with the relationship. You RSVP'ing without discussing it would be a huge red flag for me.
I learned the hard way, if a woman just isn't into the typcial romantic holiday's (valenines day, 1 year anniverseries) she probably isn't that interested in the relationship.
Now, I am not by any means speaking for you or all women here, but as I mentioned above, every time I was in a relationship that lasted a year or more, we always did something to celebrate valentines day and the year marks.

It wouldn't matter to me. I don't get all excited about that sort of thing.
