made a major mistake...hope I can fix it
well it's nothing to do with the 911...worse!
I failed to remember that my 16th wedding annv was the 1st of this month! Yep...I feel really bad and I hope I can dig my way out of it. Susan has not said a word to me about it, so maybe she has forgotten it as well? Naaahhh...she knows and I am sure is feeling pretty upset with me over it. Flowers, a nice gift, card and all the love in the world is all I can offer so I hope it works. Don't make the same mistake I did, load your annv date into your damn palm or organizer.

I think you should acknowledge that you forgot, do the flowers and nice dinner out routine and I'm sure all will be OK.
Just don't fuch up again or you will pay dearly. |

You know best what she likes. Do it for her, let her know you really do care, don't forget it again, and fess up.
On a more humourous note, my wife forgot our first three anniversaries. We're coming up on number 10.

Tell her that you're broken hearted she forgot your aniversary. You had been waiting for her to get you flowers, or even a card! Tell her how much it hurt your feelings that she didn't even remember.

Sounds familiar. Last April I got an e-mail from my wife that said "happy 14th anniversary".
Oh oh. I totally forgot. What to do? I'm already busted. So I did was any sensitive guy would do, I fired back and e-mail that said "14th? that's funny, I don't remember breaking two mirrors.... ;-) She sent one back that said "LOL, you *******. You owe me dinner. " So my little joke was a very high risk move but it paid off. |

Jake - way to turn it back on her! But somehow I think she will see through that ploy. Remember - women invented that technique and get real made when you use it on them.
How about this. Go get a card - a nice one. Write a great poem or better yet steal one. You should also include a gift card to an all day spa or a day at an amusement park for her and a girlfriend (chicks love that sort of thing). Seal it and hide it in one of her drawers. Forget about it until she mentions something then ask her if she ever got your card? Act real surpirsed. Go to where you hide it and pull it out. Or, you can claim that your anniversary is on July 1 and not June 1 and be real forceful with this. Try to make her believe that you really thought that it was in July. This will only work if you also produce other signs of insanity such as refusing to take a left turn when you walk, sitting up in bed when she is in a deadsleep and reciting the Pre-amble in Spainish at the top of your lungs, showing a complete fear of anything fuzzy or the color orange, and not using conjunctions in your sentences. Of course you will have to begin quickly on these things in order to establish a foundation of preceived insanity before the date issue arises. Tough to recover after the crime has been publically ackowledged! Then again, chances are you are toast and won't be seeing any pussy for 3 weeks. What the heck, the break will do you good....

wimp - you took the easy road. Were is the deceit? The deception? The lies? At this pace your looking at maybe another 40 years with her.
Glad everything worked out.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. My wife was out of town and she called and asked if I'd gotten her message on the answering machine. I said I hadn't and she said she called to wish me happy aniversary and told me where my present was. I'm sure I sounded a bit bewildered, more like Oh *****. I told her happy aniversary and I loved her and all that. Luckily I had a day before she got back. It was our twelth which is linen/silk traditional or pearls for modern aniversarys. She has a white pearl necklace but I found a cool black pearl necklace. Problem solved, she was happy as could be. Man I dodged a bullet.

Tell her the truth and then make it right. Works better in the long run... on just about everything.
