guys... do i have to make a big deal of an anniversary for hubby to feel loved?

[seabeyond]

another day in my book. this is the first one in 16 yrs i remembered. was going to actually do something, but hey, cant get rid of the kids....

is it the end of the world if there is just a little honoring, favorite dinner and some play?

must it be a production.

*sigh*

[NewJeffCT]

1. I thought women wanted the big production?

Guys are usually happy with getting some action...

[seabeyond]

2. that is what they say, but cant always believe. i did a poll on valentines by gender

who is romantic in the relationship. surprisingly more men were romantic souls than females.

hence, why i am asking. is this a hidden thing i am not aware of, lol.

i am thinking you are right. i am going with your answer.

[NewJeffCT]

3. Maybe you just ran into

a lot of romantic men? Has your husband gotten upset in the past when you forgot your anniversary?

[seabeyond]

5. ah.... it has always been such a mess having aniv at beginning of june

i had babies right away, and then i would have nieces and nephews here for different reasons.... all babies, so wasnt surprising i would forget at the beginning. then end of school year, and i would forget. then became a joke. and anyway, i never know what day it is. lol. how do i know when the third is. i can barely remember what the year is.

it has always been a joke. i was so proud this morning remembering, hubby still said, beat ya. as soon as i oopened eyes. but now that i remember i am feeling guilty i dont make a big deal out of.

4. Happy Anniversary!

:toast: I hope you two are having a wonderful day and countless more to come! :hi:

Can't you sell the kids? ;)

[seabeyond]

6. you would think i would at least be able to get rid of them for an evening, geeesh. nt

7. Since I've been divorced since 1976, I'm probably not the person

you want to ask for this type of advice, but Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to you and your husband.

[seabeyond]

8. lol lol..... thanks. nt

[old mark]

9. I nice dinner and a sincere hug would do it for me - we made each other cards

and had king crab legs at home.(Our 17th last March.)

Oh, yeah - congratulations and many more happy ones!

mark

[seabeyond]

11. crabs for us too. why hubby and i prefer to NOT feed the kids, lol.

we can do that.

i have let it go. i try, .... and it doesnt work. so it is what it is.

i love that you made your own cards. that is a thought.

[retread]

10. Speaking for myself, "a little honoring" can be done away with, "favorite dinner" is ok as long as

it doesn't interfere with "some play"!! In fact the first two could be eliminated as long as there is "some play."

[seabeyond]

12. lol lol

i put the honoring in for those that might lecture me on needing to do more. i did tell him, thanks for marrying me, this morning. that was the honoring.

gottcha. the point. the main emphasis of your post.

[yawnmaster]

13. As others have said; skip to the play part and all will be fine. eom

[seabeyond]

14. ah haha. i love it guys. thanks. now i can let it go and have fun. nt.

[HopeHoops]

15. No, nookie is usually sufficient.

We're coming up on our 23rd in ten days. :evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

17. rollin eyes....

i have got it already.... lol lol.

nookie it is.

happy nookie to you too

[HopeHoops]

20. Although a nice merlot goes great with nookie!

I would recommend some gorgonzola, extra-sharp cheddar, dill havarti, and fresh baked bread, but that might result in unpleasant crumbs in the bed. Best to do that in front of the fireplace if you have one.

21. O-o-o-oh

I could so get this thread locked.

[HopeHoops]

22. THAT is NOT what I MEANT!

Although it is rather nice.

[seabeyond]

33. btw... i am bookmarking this post

to keep the menu for when my kids go down to stay with nana for a week, lol. sounds fun.....

[Nuclear Unicorn]

16. 16 years? WOW!

How many more until he's paid-off?

Congrats

:toast:

[seabeyond]

18. loll lol....

i got him free and clear....

[Nuclear Unicorn]

19. Keep 'em purrin'

I always say.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

23. I'm not a guy

and it was always my husband who remembered our marriage anniversaries and the anniversary of our first meeting, that I always completely forgot and I so regret that now that he is gone. Show your husband how much you love him in your own way. After 16 years together, I'm sure he will recognize it.

Happy anniversary seabeyond!

[seabeyond]

24. ahhhhhh......

hugs to you woman.

i think you hit it perfectly. all the time, all year long, i let him know how much i value and appreciate and love him

"Show your husband how much you love him in your own way. After 16 years together, I'm sure he will recognize it."

thank you. you are right, he does. i get caught up in others expectation, and i can never accomplish others expectations, lol.

[tigereye]

25. we don't usually make a big deal out of it- maybe dinner out later in the week

since it always seems to fall on a night when we are too tired to go out! :)


We did have a recent getaway- high- end B and B with whirlpool and fireplace and everything, while the kiddo was away on his school trip.



Happy Anniversary sea! :toast:

[seabeyond]

30. isnt that the truth

you get away sounds lovely. we plan a couple this summer with three dayers. kids old enough easy fro grandpa to hang out.

[DevonRex]

26. Not in my experience. Cook some steaks on the grill and buy a pretty nighty

for yourself and he'll think that was the best anniversary ever. With the caveat that you put that pretty nighty to use when you go to bed.

[seabeyond]

28. slap forehead.... ageez, thanks for the reminder, nighty for use

not sleep. thanks, got it. lol

[MrSlayer]

27. No, the norm is that we have to do that for you.

We're just happy to get laid.

[seabeyond]

29. action, play, nookie, nightie, laid.... GOT IT. lol lol.

it isnt like that is anything new. geeez

but will remember next year i can forgo the crab and stuff.

now, done.

[liberaltrucker]

31. Not really, I celebrate the anniversary of the divorce

But, that wasn't the question, huh?

:blush:

[seabeyond]

32. lol.... beep, wrong. hey

if you are divorced then that would be the anniversary to celebrate though.
