Seven Year Anniversary And Alone! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage5 months ago

I spent our 7th wedding anniversary yesterday on my own and so did my hubby. He is currently away for work and won't be home until July 1st. My son spent the weekend at our friends place and I was all alone - poor me LOL

I had a lovely day though, just enjoying the sun (even though it was very hot LOL)- bought myself a few cheap summer skirts and sat at starbucks and had a latte and a sandwich.

So has anyone else spent their wedding anniversary alone? what did you do?

Thanks for sharing!

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!


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

haha he did call me on Saturday and Sunday so that was lovely. You know I never thought of the webcam lol we have one here but I know he doesn't have one with him. Hmmm maybe next time huh? thanks checapricorn.


myLot reputation of 98/100. checapricorn (7540)   ranked 114 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

I see, maybe he can get one so that you can set a day where you can talk and see each other! I know how hard it is, I was away from my partner for 8 years and I am glad for these technology that makes life more comfortable! Cheers!

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.. sadsad


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Wow seven years too? I hope you get to celebrate it cream:) I am happy that my hubby did call so that was nice.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sudiptacallingu (3146)   ranked 16 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Hi Cream,
Don’t feel depressed. Actually whenever I come across such discussions where people are sad just because their spouse/lovers don’t reciprocate openly on special days, I feel like chipping in and telling ‘does s/he love you, do you feel that love inside your heart? If so, then that’s all matters…ever’. You see, my hubby is the typical silent type. In all the 15 years that I have known him (11 years of that in marriage) he has never wished me on my birthday (but he remembers to give me money so that I can buy something of my choice), never said ‘I love you’, never held me on our anniversary…no flowers, card, gifts, chocolates or whatever. We have never celebrated any special day in our married life (except our son’s birthday) BUT everyday with him is a celebration for me, every moment I spend with him is worth its weight in gold. His love emanates and touches me continuously and that’s what matters.
If there is love, do not let anything spoil it.

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. sad Unless he thought ahead of time and ordered flowers, I probably wouldn't even get a phone call.


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

I did get a phone call on Saturday and Sunday. He was actually upset that he missed our anniversary as we usually go to a movie or out for lunch.

He is even more upset that he may miss our son's birthday in July as he is traveling again on the 21st, so I told him if he can't delay his trip for a week, we will bring his birthday forward a week so he is there. He promised our son he wouldn't miss it this time.

I hope you enjoy the reunion and your anniversary too! You never know, he could have a lovely surprise set up for you on that day:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. patgalca (5271)   ranked 146 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Glad you're husband is that considerate. I am not holding my breath for my husband. Even with me there, when he is with his family he barely notices me. sad


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

My ex was like that and I hated it too.

I will be spending my anniversary away from my husband. He has gone ahead of my son and I to where we are moving to (2 hours away) To find work and such while I stay here to allow my son to finish his school year. We will be going up shortly after my anniversary so we will just celebrate it then.


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

At least you get to celebrate it when you join him. We won't have time because as soon as he gets back, my mum and aunt arrive and then it's my sons birthday and then he is away again for another month. Oh well at least I got to buy me a little something:)

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


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

11 years, congratulations mummymo.

Even though he was away I did have a lovely day and got to buy myself something. He did phone on Saturday and Sunday so that was nice.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mummymo (10612)   ranked 28 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Hope he is back soon honey and then he can spoil you rotten just like you deserve! xxx

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!


myLot reputation of 93/100. gemini_rose (8103)   ranked 20 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

ALONG! I meant alone, sorry it is late here now, so I am off to bed xz


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Wow fancy that huh? 7 years with you too and in the same month as well. Happy early anniversary to you both incase I forget to congratulate you.

If he hasn't forgotten in previous years then i'm sure he will remember this year too.:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. gemini_rose (8103)   ranked 20 out of 248 in marriage  4 months ago

Thanx for BR xx

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.


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

I understand the sacrifices my husband has to make too. It's not the first time he has missed our anniversary but the fact that he remembered and called me in the weekend meant a lot.

Congratulations on your 7 years Mommy! Celebrating at Starbucks is a popular theme! We celebrated our 7 years a couple of months ago, but we've only really celebrated once, the first year. We're not married, you know, so I suppose if we ever tie the knot, we'll celebrate in a more traditional manor. We did enjoy a nice Starbucks together that day, and my friend and her hubby went on a Starbucks date becaue they didn't have a sitter for more than two hours. happy


myLot reputation of 90/100. Katesmama (3232)   ranked 143 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

Manner, manor, same diff! LOL!


myLot reputation of 93/100. maddysmommy (10410)   ranked 4 out of 248 in marriage  5 months ago

w00t I understood what you meant w00t

Starbucks is a treat for me and I love their coffee!

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.
