This is the words that my partner said, last two days ago. I was very dissapointed he forgot our wedding anniversary, at first I ask him this way "have you forgot something" about this day. He look at me and he was thingking and then he said "yah I forgot, it's our anninversary, then he kiss me. How about you myLotter what if your partner forgot your special day, how would you react.

How many years anniversary was it? You will found out that as the years goes by he'll be forgetting more and more dates and events. This is natural for us men. Actually we did not forget, just did not emphasis on the date. The are more important thing to remember and do. Don't get us wrong, we love you. That is why we married you in the first place. It's just we are not the kind that is nostalgic. Am I right GUYS.

Hi dear, Some times it happens. Not purposive, it just slip from the mind, though we know it. However, as you are well aware and remembered also. Again, when you asked him, he didn't say that I don't know. So, it is ok and he give you the sweet kiss as well. Hope you celebrated your anniversary. Mine is coming up and it is on May 2. Regards, Thank-s

Is he a lifelong partner (and are you married)? Or was it your (example:) "First Date" anniversary? Depends on the couple. Do they plan and want their relationship to thrive and celebrate that date? Or do they love each other still but every day is special for them, not just once a year? Hope you will have a happy anniversary, and for you, especially the coming year. :o)

Hi. melvelasco. I would feel pretty bad especially if we have been together or married for a very long time. I would think that by now, he would have remembered our special day. If I can remember it then he should too. It looks like your partner has remembered your special day together because, he kissed you. My husband can be spontaneous like this too. He will act like he don't know or remember something, but he actually does know.

After nearly 56 years of marriage, many important days have been forgotten. That is why we mark the calendar, but sometimes we forget to look at the calendar. However, if we remember the date, neither of us will forger it is our anniversary. Wedding date: 5/5/1955. My husband probably won't buy me a gift, but he'll remember th at it is our anniversary.

As long as she able to remember although its been late, it just fine! So long as the next day she will do something to appease my slight hurt feeling.A simple greet, followed by kiss and hug will do...

It all depends. If my guy was Way busy at work around our day and then he forgot, I would completely understnd. But if he weren't busy and he forgot , I would be upset, really upset.

That's really disappointing. If that will happen to me, i will not talk to my partner for a week. He just got to do something or give me something nice to make it up for it. We women are very particular when it comes to remembering these special ocassions. I just don't know why men aren't. They are just good in remembering such ocassions when it's still in the courtship stage or if they are still boyfriends but when they are already husbands and wives, well don't expect too much enymore.

Whoa, so sorry to hear this and know you are not alone. I have a really wonderful boyfriend who cares really deeply about me. We have been together now for 6 years and living together for 5. There is no occasion for him to express his wonderful love. My last birthday, which by the way his is only 5 days after mine, on my last birthday he completely forgot. I was livid! He remembered way later in the evening and he has been kicking himself over it. Now there is no simple holiday he will forget, well I am still crossing my fingers, lol.. I was so upset, and disappointed that I really let him know how I felt. There is no excuse for a man/woman to forget a loved one. We are not their appointment scheduler nor their calender reminder. So my suggestion would be to let him know exactly how this made you feel, not a simple fly by night discussion but truly let him know how this made you feel and how the mere thought of him impromptu even a gesture would have sufficed. Express to him how unimportant at the moment this made you feel. If you let him know with all sincerity it made allow him to think for the next times. I can't guarantee it will help but I believe that when you love someone this person should be high priority. We prioritize for work and family why not for our loved one. Best of luck and remember let him know! Many hugs for you and Happy Anniversary!

It can happen to everyone to forget about an important anniversary because sometimes people are so stressed about daily problems that they simply don't remember birthdays or other anniversaries,and if such a thing happened,I wouldn't be very upset,I would be a little sad,but I wouldn't have a negative reaction.I know that it can happen to me as well,but anniversaries come and go,the important thing is for partners to share the joys and sorrows every day and to have the understanding to forgive the other if he or she forgets about such things.

It's ok for me. I tend to forget special days too. As long as he loves me, that's enough. :) dont be sad..

I`d be mad of course, but not so mad to do something like break up with her. She`d have to make it up to me or something lol. Too bad I`m the forgetful one in my relationship. Grr!

My partner is very busy with his work and tend to forget lots of special occasions. I just ignore it and don't debate with him on this. But i will be very sad if he forgets 'my birthday' and 'our anniversary'. Till date, he has always done special things for me on these days. I hope he continues to do so in near future. God Bless!

Hi, Don't be so sad...Both me and my husband never remembered our wedding anniversary day and we only remember our birthday. Since we got married, we never celebrate our wedding anniversary,no gifts,no kiss and nothing. Just another normal day to go. Only on birthday,then we will have simple celebration. But so far, we seldom buy any birthday present for each other. As long as we love each other forever, it is more than enough.

This is the first thing about being a "Man". Men usually put things that are of "practical" before "emotional" value. Why? I don't know! Because I am a man? Yes! I too tend to tick off my wife with the forgetting thing only to regret it deeply later. But the damage has already been done, at least till the next time! If you really want your partner to remember, start hinting about the upcoming occasion from a week before! If your partner still doesn't get it, put on a sulk and extract twice of what you wanted. That is the only way!

I am the one who usually forgets things and i think guys are the ones who usually forget. Girls can remember everything including special days like the day we met, day of the first touch, first kiss and many more. Guys are the guys that forget everything and they somehow manage to make it up. Everyday at home i forget simple things like switching off the fans lights etc. There have been no big incidents really where i have forgotten something! Cheers!

hehe ohh well yeah its kinda disappointed feeling, but I guess maybe if my partner forget those important days in our life but Id rather think over of it before I react into something which could might affect our relationship. Instead I will ask and if ever he will forget then Ill remind him of that. Were not perfect at all especially if were too busy doing something we tend to forget those special occasion in our life..:)

As for me, I'm used to it. I don't know, but we are the type of couple who don't celebrate much when it comes to our big day. But when it comes to our kids' big day then that's the time we celebrate.
