Because my husband started a new job tonight. He left me flowers and a nice card and I got him nothing. I was kind of aggravated about the timing - he didn't have to start tonight. Should I get him a card and gift or can I skate with a card?

My husband and I barely even acknowledge our anniversary...let alone do cards and gifts... it's just another day....is all that really necessary if you really love each other?

Well, I spent my Anniversary alone cause my husbund is in Iraq and I have spend my last 3 birthday without him as well and I get by. It's just another day but you should have gotten him a card or something. I sent my husband a card on our anniversary even tho he is so far away.

Get candles, a bottle of wine, and a sexy outfit for when he gets off work.
Your man put his responsiblity to you first, even though you feel second right now. He 's doing what he thinks is right in the face of your disapproval.
Be thankful he wants to come home, wants to earn a decent wage, and is willing to sacrifice to achieve that. Have your anniversary the whole day and night next time he is off.
And take a good look at your man. He sounds ok to me.

Get him a card and/or a gift... Anniversary is only a number. If this is his only "transgression", count your blessings and consider yourself lucky.
(I actually forgot when my husband's b-day is - was off by 10 days; he still jokes about it and gives me a hard time - he thought it was totally funny. It doesn't matter WHEN you celebrate things, as long as you DO celebrate them.)

I can understand your frustration, but give him a card, and a gift. Because I am sure he'd rather be with you on your anniversary also.

I encouraged my husband to go on an annual golfing trip with his friends on our anniversary weekend. I went to the beach with our daughter
The exact date isn't important to me....it's the culmination of all the years we've been together that's important. We celebrated when they got back.
Do something nice for your husband when he gets back home. One night does not a marriage make.

Get him a gift! If he was looser with out a job you'd complain too. Get over yourself and do something nice for him. Big deal if he didn't have to start tonight.

If I had some one like you and she cared about me as much as you do about him, there would be no anniversary period, do not wedding vows no say for better or worse. you can't have it all. At least he has a job. I know a lot of women who would be grateful

If you have the time and ability, make up a meal for when he gets home. Or dessert. Followed by dessert (y'know?) If you are sorry, tell him so. Even if he doesn't know you are aggrivated, apologise. That way he knows how you felt, and how you feel now.
Happy Anniversary!!

I'm sure your husband is not happy about this either. but he took the time to get you something. i think that you should get your butt away from the computer and go get him something, maybe something you both can have fun with when he gets home.
