Celebrate your non-Anniversary?

[jasper12]

No, I don't even remember that whole mess. No dates, no celebrations, just ignore it, and try to forget it ever happened, to 18 years of my life.

I didn't even remember my old wedding anniversary passing this year, I was too busy packing to move, and by the time I realized it, it was a few days later. I thought briefly, hmm I would have been married 6 years now, and then forgot about it.

When my divorce became final, my friends dragged me out to celebrate. However I didn't bother celebrating the day last year when it passed.

I don't even really care about either date anymore.

There's only 1 date that matters to me now and that's the date I met the BF.

I dunno. I'm thinking if it were that bad, I wouldn't want to remember it at all. Pretend that it was a coma that I was in for a few years.

Thanks
Just shopping and peace and quiet, maybe take dogs to the lake.

Peace and quiet is a nice change from drama and angst

I never thought much about celebrating but many divorced people do, also the coma was the last few years, so its a new awakening. I am finally at peace with it all, so its a good thing.

My goodness, can't you move on?

I remember the day the judge finalized. It is a fond day for me.

On my tenth wedding anniversary, I was in court getting the temporary restraining order upgraded into a final restraining order. Only when I was already in the courtroom did I realize what the date was. Of course, Psycho Boy never would have known when it was anyway. He wouldn't remember my birthday or our daughter's birthday, either. (HIS birthday, however, had to be celebrated for a week.)

There is a woman in my office who got married the same day and year I did, so when she had her 20th, I remembered that I would have been married 20 years, too. Other than that, I don't think of it regularly.

Hahaha, same here, March 28, 2001. I'll always remember THAT date! It was as though a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders.
