My partner and I are having our 1st year anniversary this weekend and unfortunately, he is also having their college reunion at the same day. I was totally disappointed and upset when he actually would rather go to the reunion since he already confirmed to his friends that he's coming than to have our anniversary celebrated on that day. I, of course, reacted to this matter since I was expecting he would come with me instead. He said I am having a "self pity" because I was telling him, don't I deserve a nice romantic anniversary day? Am I not a deserving, worthty partner?? I think it's not a big deal for him but for me, this day is very important to me -more than my birthday. And besides it's gonna be our 1st year anniversary so I want it to be memorable and actually, we've been through a lot with this relationship, I mean, this is really is a cause to celebrate, right? Am I just over reacting or am I right?

no anniversay is more important!but you can do about it,coz the reunion,you can't move the date because a lot of people are involve but your anniversary it's just the 2 of you,so if it's ok to you,you just move your celebration so he can both attend the celebration,..

yes, of course, you can always move the celebration to another day. it is a celebration, remember? so do it on a more comfortable date so you can really celebrate.

let him go to his college reunion. i wonder if you can go with him, too? i understand that they are allowed to bring guests on occasions like this. then you can celebrate you anniversary on the following day.

The first anniversary is always a dilemma when there is a crash with another event. And lol, it always crash with another reunion from nowhere, and that makes the ladies fluster as the ladies are often the ones who are more concerned about celebrating anniversaries with the loved ones. I empathise with you.
Perhaps you can have an earlier celerbration. Both of you meet everyday while for him, the college reunion is once in a blue moon. It is a boost to your relationship if both of you gets to enjoy what you both wanted. Happy anniversary!

i guess, you are not over reacting at all
its your first anniversary and its obvious that most of us want to celebrate it as it is very important
on other case, reunion is a big thing as well
for me anniversary is bigger deal then reunion
i would say, we define our preference and unfortunately for your hubby reunion is more important then anniversary
and who knows, he might surprise you on you anniversary!!

I think your not over reacting but its up to you wether you will let your husband attend their reunion or not. Talk to each other, its either you will understand him and let him attend their reunion or your husband will just prioritize on what is more important to him. You must have give and take relationship.
