My wife was so kind to remind me this morning about our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was yesterday :confused: :o :( :sad: . Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can make this up to her. Im sure im the only on here who has forgotten an anniversary

Probably won't get any for a week!!

The G/F better be more forgiving when you forget her birthday!

He, He!!

Treat her to a nice romantic dinner on the beach. :D

You poor B@#$%*d.... this is now something you'll need to live with the rest of your life or at least as long as you are still married. Yes it will be used in EVERY argument that comes up or when ever she is even just a little mad at you.... watch how her friends look at you now.... you'll see it. :boxing:


What's Ron White say "diamonds.... that'll shut her up".... good luck buddy.

There is no magic bullet/cure. Like Doug said, "...will be used in every argument...". You have dug yourself a monster hole that will be nearly impossible to get out of unless your wife is very forgiving.

To avoid future oversights put a calendar entry in your cell phone to remind you two weeks before her birthday, your anniverssary, or any other date that is important to her.

Hmmmm -- looks like you're in deep kimshee -- she can hold that one over your head for a very long time --- hope you've already got all your Camaro parts ;)

A romantic dinner, with a limo ride, flowers and champagne might help :yes:

Take Her To Bed

So i take it she ALSO forgot it since she reminded you the day after, and after she looked at a calander i bet!!! might be called even on some counts but to be on the safe side, take her away over the long holiday weekend next week and if that doesnt work, sign over your Camaro to her :)

Tell her you didnt forget, you took your real love out for a spin :D. (camaro) That wont help any dont say that! Dunno man, buy her a pet?

You are in it real deep. My experience has been that nothing will fix it. You will be reminded of this event for years to come. LOL

take her somewhere fancy and say you had the reservation for a month, this was the soonest they could get you in. ;)

Well I have just consulted some expert opinion
My Wife..
Her 1st comment is..."So she forgot to, sounds like she did, it was the day after she mentioned "

So I asked "what should you do?"
My Wife "Buggered if I know, I wouldnt piont that she forgot to unless she has a good sense of humour...other wise u are on a lose / lose situtuation...unless u cant make light of it (make her smile) , just dont forget the girlfrinds birthday (pdq67) "

Last March Deb and I where sitting down to a quiet dinner ...then she said u know what today is ? I thought, and said its either your birthday, our wedding anaversary , your mothers birthday or your dads..." (they are all about the same time)
"No none of those....it was our annerversary 2 days ago, (big frown) looks like we both forgot..." (big wink and smile)

is it realy worth wasting a few days of crap, misery, or more fun having a laugh when these things happen..after u being married 10yrs surely thats the sort of routine u get into now when things go wrong???

Get some of the Stepford wife pills. I need some to, where can you get those?

Life as you know it is over. :sad: I'm sorry.

Me and my wife forget all the time. I guess my wife is forgiving because she doesnt get mad. We have been married for 27 years. She'll get over it.

Take her somewhere nice for dinner and a hotel. Spend the night and have makeup sex. LOL

Spend the night and have makeup sex. LOL

If things were that easy I would forget my wifes name daily :D

tell her you have alzheimers disease !!!!! Last year i came home from work and asked the wife where she wanted to go for dinner?? she said-whats the occasion?? when i handed her the anniversary card she said-oh crap i forgot !!!! so now i get camaro parts whenever i want!! i forgave her and told her"no big deal" usually it's us guys who forget. besides who could be mad at a woman who loves camaros!!!! just tell her your sorry and you'll make it up to her-if she's a good woman and loves you she'll understand.

She didnt forget she was just waiting to see if did

She is pretty good about the whole thing she also knows I forget stuff all of the time. I do feel bad because she never says too much about my hobbies and I wanted to do something nice for her but just spaced it. I do need to put on a calendar or something

Plead stupidity and promise it won't happen again. I know the year, the month and the day of the week. Thank goodness for the internet so I can look up old calendars.

you are screwed

The same thing happened to me about 5 years ago.

Trust me, you will never do it again. :)

So what's worse, forgetting your 10th anniversary or your first. Yeah, i forgot that one.
OOOOPS!

If you want it all to go away, you have two choices..
1) Get a tattoo, or...
2) Take a scratch-awl or electric etching tool, and carve her name and anniversary date into the passenger side door of your Camaro.
(a heart or arrows would be a nice touch)

Either will be less painful, and both will fade sooner than her memory.

Well, lets just say I've been there. Ive been married almost 27 yrs. Its not something you can fix. Its something you have to live down. Did the same thing about 10 yrs ago. My employees at the time (all women) felt so bad about it , for years afterward they would remind of it 2 weeks out :yes: Hang in there and don't let it happen agian !!


By the way ---my wife did'nt say anything. At 9:30 pm that night ,my 5 yr old daughter blurts out " hey daddy what did you get mother for your anniversery ! " In front of both of us.

It's a little late for this advise. My second wedding anniversary is on the same day of the month as the first..... But so is hers!

Jeff

You are doomed.....:)

No big deal. The wife reminded me the other day. I told her the same. She asked if I forgot and I admitted it. Later on I asked if she did also and she admitted it. Too much going on in our lives to remember a single day. But, all is well and we both laughed about it and said a quite dinner without the kids and dogs are in the future.

Go for the divorce now

Yep thats the way it meant to be...
Life is to damn sort for anything less...

If it doesnt happen that way......move on...

Chaulk it up as a loss this year... then make up for next...she'll forgive you. Life's a give and take.

What can you do? Well nothing as it's past, done over forgotten. The best thing to do is talk to her. Tell her your sorry and ask her to forgive you, ask her what you can do to make up for being absent minded, let her know that you are truly sorry and that you will make it with what ever her heart desires. Do this with fresh flowers in hand already in the vase so they can be instantly enjoyed with no work on her part.

I think you might be surprised. I think she will respond with a few loving jabs at you and what ever she decides the day will be as special to both of you as if it never happened. So get out there and get to loven that woman of yours.....Also if your like me and forget stuff make sure you and her talk about her giving you reminders about stuff. I get so busy with work and working loads of hours sometimes I just get drained and so does she. I can be gone on travel or we just don't see each other for days. Marriage is an effort of two people in "ALL" things so the both of you stay happy. Comminicate about everything is all I can say.

"I was waiting for you to tell me Happy Anniversary"! LOL, it could backfire, I suppose. LOL

Usually something shiny fixes these things....and I do not mean billet car parts!

Our 10th is next year, I'm already plotting a trip to the bahamas or something...especially since power tour is a month after, and I think I'm going.....

Go straight to the jewelry store. The quicker the better. Tell her it was special ordered and came in a day late.

Tell her you are having an affair, that should take her mind off of it... When she calms down, tell her you were only kidding. She will probably be so relieved that you both will fall down laughing. You could later go to a movie and dinner and laugh about it the whole night long... This is the only chance you have!!!

I dont think she would like that one LOL. My stuff would be packed and she would sell all my Camaro stuff cheap.

... I do need to put on a calendar or something

:yes: - you do :D
I learned a long time ago an easy way to remember these dates (b-days, Anniversaries ...) - use them for all my passwords, lock combinations and other "number" thingys in my life.
(Of course I don't use one of those for a PIN - that would be stupid ... ;) )
I also try to get a new calendar at the end of each year for my office and write ALL the dates into it at once - making a list at the start of each month for things that happen that month.
You can also pre-set you're planning calendar in your Cell or MS claendar software to allert you each month/day to stuff you need to follow-up on - Like flowers every week for the next couple months ...
I used to carry a 'Dayplanner' everywhere, but I quit several years ago since I now use a Laptop for most things.
As old as I am, I very seldom forget this stuff since I started doing these things many years ago.

Oh, and I would buy her flowers every week for a few weeks. It will help her understand you think about her often ...
Matter of fact, I bring my wife flowers quite often - this should be a 'no-brainer' for guys.
Heck, Safeway has a great selection for under $10 - and it's on the way to the :beers: section :D

ps: I have it made when it comes to remembering our anniv. and wifes b-day :yes:
We were married on Memorial Day - a very 'memorable' day for me.
Her's is 7/14 - I was divorced for 7 years before I met her and she's my second wife, so 2 X 7 = 14 :D
( My 'next' wife's b-day will have to be 12/36 l:) )

:yes: - you do :D

John, you crack me up....l:)

Speaking of flowers. I am a member of a flower club that sends out flowers to my little woman once a month and debits my account. It cost about $35.00 per month and they deliver for the most part very nice and exotic bouques to her at work. She really looks forward to getting them and all the woman in her office area come to see what she recieved this time. yes it's an automated type thing and easy but it really does make her day when they come and they are worth way more than I pay 80% of time. The june one was kind of lame though.

This is who I use http://www.flowermonthclub.com/ For the price they are really nice and women really love them. A small price to pay and belive me they come at just the right time now and again. I have been doing this for a few years now. When I am gone on travel sometimes and they come and thats pretty cool also.
