Anniversaries??

Hey CC, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful toward you, it was dumbass I was poking at, maybe a swift shot across the back of the head will knock some sense into him. Sorry if my comment's seemed to trash you.
 
for our 29 ,th - i took my wife to a place where she has never been before-----the kitchen.....she wanted a honeymoon - i told her i was her last resort---- she wanted to go out for supper -- i said see you at the picnic table......she took me out the other nite--- living room 3rd round... she loves me

Maybe it was the "arriving" with someone else in the room. It mst have been a strange experience for you.


As for the issue at hand. (ohh that's punny!)

okay serioiusly, Nodda hit on the head again.

Bottom line though - you've just had some stuff come up that coincides with a day of the year. That's all. I'd suggest looking into each other's eyes and thinking about how and why you've made it another year together. If all of that good stuff throughout the year can get cancelled out because stuff didn't line up on one particular day, then you're putting too much emphasis on that day.

Yes, this is a man talking. Dates don't mean that much. We can deal with doing things a day early or a day late (or more) and not really worry too much about it as long as it's been discussed and agreed upon. I'm not bragging here. I'm just saying that we're different.

To most women, a particular day is special for whatever reason and they hold that dear. That's fine and reasonable. but so is "rescheduling" when something else comes up.

The hotel thing works both sides I think, but in all cases it's a matter of "shit happens."

As a guy, I wouldn't ask a women to camp out with a load of parts while I sleep in a comfy hotel. Yeah, my wife would be pissed, too. My only thought about that is everyone camps out or everyone gets a room - but then the parts are left alone... I don;t know that there is a good answer.

It still boils down to shit happens.

I'd say, "This weekend didn't work out the way we thought it would. Let's get through it and we'll do something next weekend - with all the money we make from parts, I can take you to McDonald's instead of Taco Bell." That's just me talking, but you get the point.
 
Happy Anniversary Sweetie!!!

My ex-wife and I always tried to make any significant day special for each other. Just look at these shining examples:
  • Our first Christmas together, I bought her a necklace, tennis bracelet, about $400 worth of clothes, a large TV, hi-fi VCR (this was '94, smart-asses), expensive perfume, an entertainment center, and new dishes. She got me a set of screwdrivers from the dollar store and a Kmart sweater.
  • On our first anniversary, I had to work 8+ hours so I sent her roses. She decided in return to treat me to a warm bed when I got home. I'm not sure which guy it was keeping my side of the bed warm; it didn't work anyways because she changed the sheets before I got back from work.
  • On my 24th birthday, she greeted me at the door with our 10-month-old, whom she promptly handed to me saying only, "Feed her. I'm going out." She didn't return for almost 36 hours.
  • The same year, on my parents' 35th anniversary, she got into a minor argument with my Mom, which she punctuated with "I f__king hate you. You're such a f__king BITCH!!" then storming out of their house, slamming the door behind her. I, of course, chased after her... she thought it was to take her side of the argument, so you can imagine the shock in her eyes when I told her if she ever spoke to my Mother like that again, I'd kill her with my bare hands... if my Dad didn't get to her first.
  • My daughter's first birthday was very special! You see, even a house you've lived in for some time has a "new" feel when you come home to find it completely empty and your car gone. While finding out that your 183,000-mile '77 400 will hold your '72 Charger SE at nearly 140MPH for five-minute bursts while trying to find your wife would normally give you a warm, fuzzy sensation, the horrific rod knock after doing it for the third time is a real buzzkill.
  • When we were trying to reconcile, I made her Valentine's Day extra-memorable by telling her I'd finally had it for good, and politely asking her to go f__k herself, rather than let every guy in Dickinson County do it for her.
  • On our 2nd anniversary, I told her I was moving to Atlanta because it seemed like the nearest place where I wouldn't run into guys who knew my name because they'd nailed my wife (Atlanta is 1,100 miles away).
No, I'm actually not joking on any of those points or dates.

My point? Count your blessings. If his worst offense is cheating on you by sleeping with his brother, a rusted pair of 906 heads and a grimy A833, you've probably got it better than half the married people I know.

I hate to sound callous, but an anniversary is just another Tuesday (or whatever) to most men. It doesn't mean they don't love their women, it just means we're men. To us it's a fact, not an emotional event. We know better but we fail anyhow. As Tammy Wynette sang, "After all, he's just a man."

My advice is this: Make the most of your special day no matter where or how you spend it. I would think that just being together on that day, so many years since you made those vows before the priest/minister/rabbi/justice of the peace/hippie shaman/one-eyed lobster captain (or whomever performed your wedding) would be special enough.

By the way, after my successful hysterectomy--hey, men can lose a uterus too; it just involves lawyers rather than doctors--the only date I celebrate with gusto is September 9th... the date my divorce was finalized back in '96. :dance:
 
Yeah, that was a fantastic wreck. The only stairs I have now are concrete, so be careful where you stand... heh.
 
Doc! [smilie=J: good to see you back... I'm wondering how many guys saw your ex wife's back? :doh:
 
Anna who ? My wife don't get anything. If she gets nothing she is pissed off and quiet. If I buy her something she is pissed off because I spent money.
