Who is right?

YOU!!! haha i think 1 year anniversary is a good thing, and it should be celebrated, me and my boyfriend on the other say it to each other every month. So if he was to miss our 1 year, i would not be to impressed. If it was me (and when it is lol) i'll def wanna go out and celebrate, go for a dinner, and just spend time with him.

you were together for one year. obviously, you boyfriend dosen't see the importance of his being together with you as special for that one year that you have both been together. i believe you are correct and it appears you think more about this relationship than you boyfriend does.

I agree with you, it's definitely worth celebrating. It's not like you need to go crazy and spend a million bucks but something small like going for a nice dinner or spending the day doing something or going somewhere that's special to the two of you would be nice. So would small, thoughtful gifts or cards. A year is a big deal, it's a full cycle of time, and it deserves to be celebrated whether you're married or not.

Well I am not sure if either of you is right or wrong .This is simply a case of perception ,your bf may be a big ticket guy who likes to celebrate big things while you may like to celebrate smaller things .I guess I think this could be a compromise between the two of you and you could have a small celebration and later when you are married have bigger celebration

you're right.. celebrating anniversary is necessarily., but it depends to what kind of person they are, some person are private type person, maybe your bf is one of them., for me it is a must to work the relationship more and more sweeter, romantic , and you'll feel like..you're always in love with your partner... we woman is more romantic than a man,more expressive,more lovable. hmmm you should talk your bf about this,tell him what you want,and how you want it to celebrate.Good luck.

Some people might not take it as a bigger deal of their life, but you as his girlfriend, and you really want to make this day memorable; it is nothing wrong with it. So, you are right, and he is wrong. He should take it as an anniversary day, even though you are not married with him yet.

In a girlfriend and boyfriend relationship every anniversary is important to celebrate. One year of you two being together is special and should be recognized. It is lovely to give a card and a little present. The fact the are are not married doesn't matter. Valentine's Day is another important little celebration. For one Valentine's Day I went to Bruges in Belgium with my ex-boyfriend. He and I remain friends. Happy First Anniversary to you and your boyfriend.

Hi genevakat, I don't know. I'm kind of a romantic. I would remember and acknowledge our one year anniversary even if he chose not to. I dated a guy that did something special for every month anniversary from our first date. That was sweet but I had a lot going on at the time and I was the one that would tend to forget. If I were you, I'd get my boyfriend a cool card or something to acknowledge the date but bear in mind that he has been clear and honest on his thoughts about this. Some guys don't even get into celebrating special dates even after they are married. I think as long as he is treating you special all year long then maybe it'd be best not to let this be a problem between the two of you. Oh and Happy anniversary by the way!

It's up to the couple whether or not to celebrate. If you do, you'll be celebrating a temporary coupling whereas wedding anniversaries are celebrations of permanency--or as permanent as we get these days! I can understand his attitude but it's not exactly romantic, is it? He must be a more traditional person than you are. Celebrating time spent together unmarried is a very recent development. Do you think that indicates he'd like the relationship to be permanent?

I think a nice homemade dinner at home would be great. I know some guys are not into the celebrating thing which can make you upset. I know my boyfriend is like that and I hate it. But also Im not trying to be rude but one year is not that long anymore it seems. I have been with my boyfriend for over 10 years and we still dont really celebrate our anniveriscity. I say be greatful we have someone and let them know we love them even if there is not a party to go with it.

Well,i would give it a yes for the celebration. but i not coming here to judge who is right or wrong. It all depends on how your boyfriend deals with it. could be in a romantic way or be a plain way.I bet one year's time have enable you guys to be used to each other. so 'stay-calm' is not a big surprise if you understand guys more.actually there are just two days away for my one-year 'anniversery' with my gf.

In my opinion, anniversary is a must thing for me in a relationship. It recognizes the special day you have been together and many memories are attached to it. I will feel bad if he do not give importance to that. I gonna consider myself same as other he has known and not that special one for him. I will do my way of what I wanted in a relationship. If he really do love me, then he should understand what I feel. If people do celebrate their birthdays and loved ones, Why cannot he celebrate anniversary dates for my sake and happiness. I think he has a closed mind about that, but I will insist that having celebration like that for I considered him special in my life, therefore he must consider me special too.

Nobody is right and nobody is wrong.Its just the different way males and females think..:)...Girls generally attach too much importance to little things while guys take them lightly.Although in your case,well,you could have a valid point and expecting him to celebrate your togetherness with you shouldn't be asking for too much.But still,if he is taking it casually,you shouldn't mind it too much,believe me,guys are like that.Only if you could make him understand how much the day matters to you,I am sure he'd get the point...:)

i agree with you .I think it's necessary.For the most of women ,anniversary is important.Woman is more emotional than man.

I agree that the question shouldn't be who is right because when you start doing that it opens the door for more issues with the "who is right" questions. I agree that sometmes celebrating a year anniversary is an important thing and it means something to celebrate. If your guy doesnt feel the same way ask him what he would want to celebrate and celebrate that.

Well, if there is one thing that I have learned in the time that I have been with my husband is this, he will think what and how he thinks no matter what I say. If he does not see it as an important day then he just wont. I personally agree with you it should be a special day if you want it to be. my husband and I dont count the years that were dating as official dates, but we were pretty casual before we married.

Women are more sentimental than men so you might as well get used to it...remember all of the important anniversaries and let your boyfriend roll his eyes. I recognize the anniversary of the day my husband and I met, the anniversary of the day he proposed and our wedding anniversary. He thinks the first two are silly but, deep down, I believe he'd be disappointed if I didn't consider those days specical.

The fact that your bf does not want to celebrate only means that he's not romantic, and I guess your bf doesn't like to feel "tied down" jet. It just makes you see another side of him. I agree with the other mylotters comment to just go out to a simple dinner to mark the day and not make it look like an anniversary celebration. Good luck.

In my opinion, you both are! I suppose you could both go out for a meal or something but don't mention the "year thing" then you will both be happy and have a good night into the bargain. Men can get a bit jumpy about these things (and women too of course), it's as though you want to marry him or something. All you want to do is celebrate being a couple after a year; nothing wrong with that.
