anniversary

i don,t think so that husband don't have time for their wives in this case i feel myself very lucky my husband called me daily at least for two times when he is in office sometimes when he is very busy he called me when he gets time so occasion or day is no matter in our realationship.

Don't fret. Think of it this way...men are so different and they look at their work as a way of showing love for their families. HOW? Because they have a deep need to be a good provider. Providing for our family is one of my husband's greatest desires...to be able to do that makes them feel needed and useful. And while it is preferable to us women to have a phone call or at least a warm reception on the other end of the line, sometimes they really are putting their all into their work...but most of them do it for us. Try this...next time it is an anniversary or something like that...call him up but say this, "Honey, I am sure you are really busy, so I won't keep you, I just wanted you to know that on our anniversary (or your birthday - or whatever the occasion) I appreciate the hard work you do for our family." See what kind of response that gets...I'll bet he has a much better attitude!!

this is true .... husbands dont hav time to call their wives....my husband and me too had the same problem and now even i have stopped calling him ....except 4an emergency.... cal from my side has actually decreased...... wat my husband says is ..... too much of talk is also injurious :-( we sail in the same boat

That is sad, I am sure he wasn't trying to be rude or anything though, men are just oblivious like that =) My husband is really romantic though, last yeear on our anniversary I forgot and he was the one that remembered =) At least he took you out to dinner, that was nice I am sure!!

Men are sentimental in their own ways, but not always the way women think they should be. Many men forget birthdays and anniversaries, and sometimes they are just too busy. Hey, even wives can get too busy to do things their husbands consider important. But think about whether you would rather he be romantic on special days and ignore you the rest of the year or whether you would rather have a true partner, friend and lover every day. If you are happy with him on the whole, if he is good to you and loves you, then that is more important than whether or not he calls you on your anniversary.

I'm not going to sound like I'm an expert at this, but, in all honesty, boils down to men (most) don't really believe (maybe the wrong word0 or just do not find anniversaries etc as important compared to women. Who planned the dinner? Did you have fun during the dinner? Was it an intimate one that led to maybe to intimacy when you got back from the restaurant. if your answer to this is positive on all counts, then what does it matter whether or not he couldn't be bothered to answer the phone the whole day? At work, this isn't a special day, its a special day between the two of you. Now, had he forgotten the whole thing altogether, hahaha i would have kicked him you know where :) Men and women just really do not particularly have the same reactions/thoughts on special events, or pretty much everything. Its a matter of accepting this and enjoy more what you do for each other to celebrate occasions.

I know it was a special day for you, but maybe he was very busy during the day and really couldn't talk. People at work don't care about how special that day is to him or you, so he has to continue doing as normal. Try to be understanding. I know it is hard! I have the same problem. My husband is in Iraq right now and we don't spend our holidays or special occasions at all. I have to spend them alone. So, be happy that you were able to have dinner and quiet time with him.
