Boyfriend surprised me with a card and left over Christmas flowers. I was kind of disappointed. I guess I expected more. Do you remember your 1 yr dating anniversary? Did your SO do anythiny special?
yeah, we went on a long weekend to Baltimore/DC area, he took me on a dinner cruise, and I got jewelry. But that's when he was still SUPER romantic. He's romantic now, but in a different way.
I can't even remember if we did anything. I never really thought dating anniversaries were important.
really? even before you were married they weren't important? I feel like they were really important to both H and I... He still usually gets me flowers for our dating anniversary, even though we've been married for 3.5 years.
Although, before me, he had never dated any girl for longer than 3 months... so maybe that's why it was important, b/c he had never made it to the 1 year (or any other year) mark with anyone else.

Yeah it always was like "oh hey we've been together 2 years look at that" but no, it never felt like an actual anniversary to me. That's reserved for wedding anniversaries in my head.
I will say that I celebrated month anniversaries with a high school boyfriend, lol.

I have no idea what Left Over Christmas Flowers are
They are flowers that are all red, green and white with red and green plastic ball thingy's for added eye appeal. They were pretty, but not for an anniversary. They were a Christmas bouquet. Our 1 yr dating anniversary was the 28th, so he got them on sale 3 days after Christmas.
Did you tell him the anniversary was important? Are you mad he didn't spend enough on the flowers (because he got them on sale)? Or could you try being grateful you have a guy who cares enough to remember/acknowledge the day? I find when I focus on what I do have rather than don't have (fancier flowers), I'm happier.
What did you get him for your anniversary? Did he get you a Christmas gift? Are you doing something with him for NYE? Maybe with Christmas and NYE so close to your anniversary, he didn't have a lot of extra cash to spend on an anniversary gift. At least he remembered, and made an effort to do something caring.
We didn't do anything for any of our dating anniversaries. Truth be told I don't think either even knew when out anniversary was (we started dating in August but I couldn't for the life of me tell you when in August, even when we were still just dating).

We got engaged at the 10 month mark. I have no clue if we did anything to celebrate one year of being together. It was a long time ago. I think we went away for the weekend shortly after getting engaged.
What did you expect to get? You said you thought you would get more. What did you have in mind?
