What would you do?

[Mom2-3boys]

So my anniversary is on Sunday. My husband has not asked me what I would like to do and he never plans on anything on his own.....unless it's something he wants to do. He works Sunday and has been hinting that he wants to go out with the guys on Sat. , so do I remind him it's our anniversary this weekend or see if he figures it out on his own and if he doesn't...... blast him!? lol. What would you do?

I would wait to see if he remembers but that's how I am. My birthday is coming up but I haven't said anything about it to see if he will remember hehe.

I'd probably remind him as men don't tend to think the same way women do.

I would remind him....

I always had to tell Tice when birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc. He couldn't read my mind and we didn't have a calendar where things were marked in. Even if we did he probably wouldn't read it. He had other priorities such as gardening, or bush hogging, taking of care our Daddy. It was no big deal to mention it to Tice and and he always thanked me for reminding him.

I would just come out and ask him..... Hey honey, so what do you want to do for our anniversary this weekend?? Dinner? movie? out for drinks? comedy club? what sounds good to you

Don't wait, that will only make you even madder if he forgets

I would tell him. That's better than being hurt and he doesn't know why.
I have forgotten a date or 2 myself.

If you do not say something, chances are that you will be very hurt and angry. By all means, TELL him, dear, I know you want to go out with the guys Saturday, but that is our anniversary and I was hoping ot go out for a nice quiet dinner. Maybe you can go out with them the following weekend.
And leave it at that. Plan a nice dinner then,

I would make sure to mark it on the calender so he would see it

I totally agree..

Men are useless with dates and things. you'll get madder if you don't say anything and he doesn't remember..

We choose not to celebrate things like this. I don't like getting or giving gifts on a special day. If I want to do something or buy him something I do it whenever the mood strikes. We both forget our anniversary but we do remember our first date. That is my special day & I normally just give him an extra kiss that day! :lol

I vote for this, too. You are communicating your feelings to him, avoiding having hurt feelings (unless, of course, he insists on going with the guys, and then all bets are off). You are also acknowledging to him that you are aware of his feelings (wanting to go with the guys) and that has to look good, i.e. you are not unconscious to his needs. Men need a little nudging, sometimes. Rarely do they know how to read us. I hope he sees it your way.
