As long as he remembers who he is coming home to and your name and title. Give him this one. But brace yourself for a lifetime of reminding him your anniversary day.

I am a 36 year old man with a big heart and a bad memory. I often forget important dates but do my best to remember with the help of a calendar. Is you husband showing his love and affection for you? Would you forgive him if he forgot your anniversary date? How important is this for you? The few times I actually forgot an important date I felt so guilty and I was so thankful my girlfriend could forgive me when I finally remembered. In the end it brought us closer to eachother, I wish you will experience the same. Good luck!

I think that whether or not you love someone shouldn't be defined by how well you remember dates. Many people are bad with dates or just don't feel a need to mark of years with someone when they already envisage spending the rest of their lives with someone.
If this is one of the only things he does wrong then I'd say cut him some slack and set up a recurring reminder in his email box or get one of his friends to remind him. Also, if you associated the date with a ryhme (see the rhyming dictionary link below).
At the end of the day if he loves you and knew how much it would hurt your feelings he wouldn't forget on purpose, if you love him then you won't let your relationship balance on such small details.

I don't know, does he go to work every day to support his family, is he selfish, is he giving, does he beat you up, abuse you. Is he a good lover self-centered.
A date isn't crap compare to what is really is important.
You need to check in and see if your values are in the right place, maybe you are married to a boy or maybe you are trying to pick fault with a good MAN.
I've been married 15 years and I forget dates. I don't forget to bring home the bacon and we keep out debts low -- we've been rewarded with the nice house, pool, boat. We try to be a good lovers to each other and she doesn't have to work and juggle family needs. We have great kids with healthy productive lives. We enjoy life and I think each other.
Thank God she doesn't nag me about some F'n date I missed because I'd never be able to concentrate on the important things if I got that kind of crap.

Ok ladies, time to face it. Your wedding day is a much bigger deal to you then it is the man. And face it, the day is about you, not the groom. No one ever talks about how good the groom looked in what he was wearing. We stand there, and you are the one who gets to walk the aisle. You are the one everyone notices.
To us, it was another day. Sure, it is special, but not on the same degree it was to you. You don't hear about guys planning their wedding day since they were 9 years old.
It is much like Valentines Day. Most guys want to show you they care about you throughout the year in how they live their lives. How hard they work. Things of that nature. Anniversaries, V-Day, and the such are geared towards women. That's just the way it is.

Yeah, it's bad. But, men aren't the only ones. September is a very hectic month for me and that's when my anniversary falls, I have a hard time remembering too (married 2 years).

Ha ha, I've been married for almost 10 and my husband forgets my birthday or anniversary. In my opinion it's bad but in his opinion it's just forgetfulness. I think a lot of men (not all) need constant reminders unfortunately I hate doing that so my husband forgets a lot.

I try hard to remember it.
Anniversary.
Wife's birthday.
Two kids now, man its getting tough. Thankfully, one of my kids was born on the date of a major military battle, that helps ...
Seriously, I don't remember. I don't know what day it is half the time, I have to figure it out. It doesn't remotely occur to me that its so and sos birthday. I mean, I remember (with effort) my wife and kids and anniversary. I remember my parents and sisters. (By remember of course I mean 'I can tell you what it is' not necessarily that I notice it approaching).
To give you a point of comparison, I can tell you that my oldest friend who I've known for 20 years, who was my best man, his birthday is _definitely_ in late spring or early summer.

That depends. . .is he usually bad with dates and numbers?
If the answer is "yes," then don't worry about it. People who are bad at remembering numbers care just as much as the rest of us. . .they just forget those little things. It's like there's a black hole in their brains where all dates go. Just be patient and pay attention to the ways he does show he cares. Also, you'll have to remind him (or set up an automatic reminder for him).
If the answer is "no," then it's bad.

Oh precious one that is bad, but not terrible. He needs to do something in order to help him remember. May a note some type remainder in order not to forget the next one. If he loves u, he will work on remembering ur wedding annivesary.
