Seven Year Anniversary And Alone!

How funny, it will be my 7th wedding anniversary on the 30th June. How strange to think that 7 years ago both of us would have been excited, yours as newly wed and me looking forward to my big day. Yet both of us far far away from the other, not knowing about the other. I always think it is really weird to think of things like that. Anyway I am really sorry you spent it along, not nice. I have never spent mine alone. This year not sure what will happen as I have not reminded hubby I am just waiting to see if he remembers all by himself!

Well my other half and I aren't married - yet! lol We have been together for 11 years though so I count our first date as our anniversary! When I was with my ex husband I would have loved to spend the day alone! At least you had some quality 'me' time though sweety - I sure hope hubby makes it up to you when he gets home! xxx

I hope you heard from your hubby, sent you some flowers or something. I have never spent my anniversary away from my husband but it looked like that might happen this year. The girls and I don't like going to hubby's family home because it is a long drive and the airfares are outrageously high right now. They have a family reunion on the exact day of our anniversary. They always plan everything the first weekend in August. I think they even set our wedding date. So there is always somewhat of a conflict. But the plan is for us all to go down this summer no matter what the price of airfare. If we ARE apart I have the feeling hubby would be too busy to even think of me that day. Unless he thought ahead of time and ordered flowers, I probably wouldn't even get a phone call.

wow! That was cool maddysmommy, how about celebrating it on the phone? I know you gave each other a call for sure..ANyway, I have tried celebrating our anniversary before we were wed alone but we were chatting..So, it was just like he was around with the webcam and microphone..LOL!

Hi dear First of all Belated Happy wedding Anniversary to u, well i just have 4 anniversies and luckily we were togather, but on my last birthday, i was away on business meeting , so i attend the meeting, at night have dinner at nice hotel and then icecream at beach

Hi !!! Congratulations on your 7 years!! Before you now it, it will be the first of July. I bet he has something real nice to give you. Maybe you both can go out for dinner, and he will give you a real nice present. On the other hand, it is probably a present all ready that he is home. When I was married, I loved to be alone every once in a while. But, not on those day's. If that were to happen, we celebrate it on an other day. By the way, like your picture. Take care, Have a nice day. Margajoe

i'm so sorry to hear that you have to spend your wedding anniversary day by yourself... i never experience that before... i only been married for 2 and a half years and my hubby always there with me for these past 2 years... even though we don't really celebrate it as we have limited fund and both of us have to work, but at least we have dinner together and we are there for each other during that important day... i am so sorry again to hear about what is happening to your wedding anniversary day... hopefully your day will get better... take care and have a nice day...

Its great that you had the good sense to enjoy your free day. You can always be together, all three of you, and enjoy a belated anniversary outing. Till now I have never had to spend our anniversary alone coz my hubby was not much into tours. But with his current job, he’s out a lot of days and so next year…I don’t know. However, what I wanted to share is something that sometimes I feel makes me quite selfish…or is this OK with most of us moms?! I love my days alone…yes I do. Like this Saturday I would be all alone. Rather from Friday evening onwards, I have me all to myself My hubby’s on tour right now (he returns this Sunday) and my son would be with my parents for the weekend from Friday afternoon itself. So it’s a kind of ‘liberated’ feeling. I love both of them, I would miss them, but I am so looking forward to the Saturday too! I have planned a shopping spree on Friday evening straight after office and I would bring home dinner from a takeaway. I’ll read books, watch TV, catch up on the phone, sleep when I want to and wake up just when I feel like it. Saturday will be spent lazying out with the dinner leftovers as lunch…am I sounding selfish? BTW…you have recently changed your avatar, isn’t it? Whenever I came across your discussions, I would always wonder how Maddy looked like! Now I know and he is so cute and the two of you together, just like the way my son loves clinging on to me. Happy times to all of you.

Awwwww maddysmommy I feel so bad for you having to spend your wedding aniversary alone. Many years ago I did spend our anniversary alone I dont even remember which one it was.LOL I felt sad and I think I did do some shopping too. Hugs

Happy Aniversary!!!! I am so sorry that you spent your special day alone. But look on the bright side, at least you are still happily married after seven years.

My husband and I are going on 4 years of marriage in February. This year was the first that we celebrated. He was deployed to the desert for the first one. The second one, he was getting ready to deploy, we were broke and not getting along. This year we actually celebrated and he made it very special. Our anniversary is on Valentine's Day. I didn't choose this day... I wish we would have gotten married on ANY other day actually. But he wanted Valentine's Day. I don't know why, we had no wedding. It was a crappy day altogether. This is the second marriage for both of us and we both had big weddings the first time. He wants to re-new our vows one day and as he says, "Marry me right." Our wedding day was so awful. And the next two anniversaries followed suit. We are on the right track now though...so things are looking up. I can't remember exactly what I did on the first anniversary that he was deployed. I know we spoke on the phone and through email. I spent time with the kids. I was also hormonal because I was 2 and a half months from delivering our daughter. So I am sure I cried a good bit too. Hopefully the 8 year anniversary will be one that you can celebrate together!!

I've only had one weddin anniverary, and I didn't spend it alone, so I can't really relate to that one. Oh, and by the way, I really really really HATE starbucks. I used to work there. It's a terrible place to work. I hated it.

happy anniversary there girl! i have never experienced celebrating an anniversary alone yet coz my hubby makes sure that he is saving that day for us THOUGH for 4 years i have never spent valentines day with him till this year's V-day so it was really great coz we are finally together. i think sometimes it's great to have that day just for yourself so it is more exciting when the hubby arrives LOL sounds like a great day, skirts are always wonderful to have during summer and i cant blame you coz i also had one haha. takecare and wish you both a happy and more anniversary to come. good night

Well, as for me.. Our anniversary is July 12, 2008. And I know when this day comes, we will hardly celebrate this day.. We never really do. It will also be seven years for me too. I am very sorry that you had to be alone on this day. You are not the only one, believe me, you are not.. I hate missing this day.. It is a very special day for me. I just wished that my husband could be more interested in this day..

I don't think I have ever been alone on our anniversary, but if I was you, I'd have done the same thing. lol I probably would have spent a bit of time on the phone that night with him though. You can always make up the celebration when he comes home and I hope he has a safe trip home. ~Icy~

Mines is tomorrow. We may not celebrate ours either. Sorry to say.

Congratulation! Although you spent it alone but for the reason that he's away working for you and your son is acceptable reason. Anyway there will be many more anniversary. My husband and me don't celebrate any anniversary. He doesn't believe in practicing the celebration of any anniversary.

With in 10 years of our marriage,we have one incident,I was in other country and we just talked via phone,so sad because it was wedding anniversary ( Dec 14 ) then Christmas and new year,so I missed 3 happy days from my family.But then,since it is a need,I don't have choice but to sacrifice those happy moments to earn money for my family.
