Do you remember

July 03 2015

Anniversaries? Hello fellow forumites (waves a big hello), I'm Sandy, the better half, forum browser, email answerer etc. Our 7th anniversary is almost upon us and I was thinking MrSAF was planning something delicious to do. Alas, when I asked him he had no idea that it is almost upon us. Indeed, he hardly ever remembers an anniversary though he does remember birthdays, lol. So I was wondering... Does your significant other half (or fb or fwb or whatever) always remember your special anniversaries. Warm hugs MrsSAF

    Never. If it wasn't for me he'd never call his mum on her birthday either. He was seriously clueless when it came to dates.

    are so many dates for everything now that it makes most dates meaningless. Every day that i'm alive is a special day and no day to me has more meaning than any other

    Not always but I think its a personality thing, not a gender thing. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have an uncanny knack of remembering all the little things including mates anniversaries. So I give them a heads up. To some, anniversaries are very important, others may not think its a big deal. I believe that woman would like their partner, FB FWB to have some type of recall some form anniversary. Having a good memory helps. I like to think that I have a strong memory. For example I recall going out with dad one night and coming home with mum!

    Quoting 'Fit73' are so many dates for everything now that it makes most dates meaningless. Every day that i'm alive is a special day and no day to me has more meaning than any other Have any of your partners ever fallen for that cop out?

    at remembering specific dates. I don't think it's a gender thing either. I remember immediate family members birthdays and my parents wedding anniversary. It doesn't mean I don't love my friends or significant partners. I'm much more likely to do something special and random at different times.

    What they need to do write an appearance that tells you when a special date is coming. Like a calendar?

No, but unsurprisingly, my partners haven't really cared about dates either.......intuitively that's probably why were good together :)

    Sandy, I'm shocking at remembering anniversaries. Doesn't mean they're not important to me though :)

    at remembering birthdays and things, but our anniversaries are easy dates, exactly a month after my birthday we married, october long weekend we celebrate as the date we got together & one of our friends 40th was the night we started on our journey into sexual liberation. Easy! (as long as we remember our friends birthday) I'm with Miss B though, while anniversaries are special, random acts of "I love you's" or "your special to me in some significant way" should happen without the need for a special date and are so much more meaningful.

    ...my own birthday one year. This should tell you just how wonderfully freaken fantastic I am at remembering dates. It's not an intentional thing, just sometimes I fail at being an adult...

    Been married twice. Cant remember the ex's birthdays now, but I still remember the date when we split. Funny what your memory choses to keep. And my mum rings me the day before my siblings birthday to remind me to call them.(and hers too)

    It depends - if it is something that is important to another person, then yes, I'll remember it. Because they've made the date salient in my mind. If it's not important to another, then no - happy to let that lil tit bit slip right on out of my mind.

    Always remember important dates...friends, families etc. I've always recorded special dates in a little diary but now with an iPhone, I keep all my dates in one place and I get reminders too :) Why you may ask? My parents forgot my 12th birthday 😪 This lady tries hard not to let anyone feel uncared for on special days, I'll even go so far as making special cakes for my friends, just so they know someone really does care. I even do the difficult anniversary dates, I always send a special message to my beautiful friends who lost a child four years ago. I know they appreciate that there are others who remember their little girl. Mary xx

    I have never considered anniversaries or birthdays important, but I would never forget my kid's... Or Sandy's. I think it's more important what you do in the day to day things, rather than on those special occasions. MrSAF
