Ok...my boyfriend and I have been together 2 years and our anniversary is on Wednesday and I know he is going to forget. I don't really want to make it a big deal but we just moved across the country the second week in Feb and didn't do anything for Valentine's day so I thought we would do something for our anniversary...I just started a new job and am in training that night but he has to work...I just wanted to know if I should say something now...like hey, our anniversary is in a couple of days or if I just shouldn't say anything. I know if it goes by and he forgets and remembers later (knowing I knew the whole time) he would feel horrible which i do not want at all. I don't want anything big...maybe offer to take me to brunch this weekend or flowers. I just don't want him to forget for his sake more than mine...he would feel so bad and its not really that big of a deal...what should I do? I would appreciate any feedback...Thanks!!!

Vegas,


In my experience, guys don't do well with hints, so if you want to go for brunch, then say, "hey, I thought we could go for brunch next weekend in honour of our anniversary".

of course remind him and tell him what you would like to do to mark the occasion. Communication is the best road to hoe - and let him do somethingromantic for you, especially since Valentine's Day passed with no marker

yes you might want to hint at it or you will end up like me..although mine kept hinting that it was coming up and we had dinner out planned too..but alas ..no present although I gave him one ..hmm major upsets everywhere...read my post under the anniversary present dilemma...yes at least say hey should we go out for dinner etc???? and write me back a response too of what you think about my dilemma ok> thanks
