He forgot our anniversary last year, i got him nice gifts and when i came home he was sitting there clueless. So it totally ruined my mood to celebrate our anniversaries. Do you think I should do something for him this year?

Oh no! That's a real shame that he forgot last year. I'm guessing if you've been together for 5 years though, that he does love you very much and didn't mean to forget.
My boyfriend and I just go out for dinner. We don't bother with gifts. We think it's better to spend time together. Last year, for our 2-year anniversary, on the Friday we went to the first restaurant we ever went to and on the Saturday we went to the 2nd.
So I'd say do something like that! And if that's not possible (because you live in a different area now, etc) then just go for a romantic meal.
I'd write a cute note in his diary a week before your anniversary. He was probably gutted that he forgot. Just say "Do you know what day it is in five day's time? You're forgiven for last year if you take me out this year :-) " That way you're just jogging his memory a little and also keeping it lighthearted!

P.S. My God people, since when was there a 5 year rule about marriage!? Don't listen to them! I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we never want to get married! Each to their own!

yes buy him some thing nice like a T - shirt or if he likes hockey then buy him hockey tickets for u and him or for him and a male friend , but keep reminding him about ur and his anniversary,so he don't forget and keep dropping him hints on what u would like for ur and his anniversary .
I'm sure alot of women drops hints on what they would like for there anniversary and if there boyfriend forgets there anniversary then more and likely they would keep reminding them ,the next time there anniversary is near so they don't forget or so they don't have any excuse on why they didn't buy them any thing unless there excuse is they didn't know what to buy them but that's a lame excuse,but women might usually only do this when married.

after 5yrs he should be your husband. i would get a a card that says where is this relationship going since he can't even remember it's your anniversary it's fair to say it doens't mean anything to him. your at point where he should respect you enough to marry you. i think it may be time to re-evaluate this relationship.
marriage is not a/b making it legal on a piece of paper. it also shows love, respect and commitment. and if something happens you have say so over medical descions, health benefits and a lot of other important things. so it's not just a/b making it legal. how would you feel if you've been w/someone for alot of years and they die and are estanged from their family and they get say so over you or get an inheritance or something. this whole mess w/ anna nicole smith should teach you something. if there wasn't all of the footage a/b how much she hated her mom guess who would've been given custody of her body,her mom,next of kin. so those of you against marriage have something to think a/b.

ok....he FORGOT the anniversary...so...TAKE THAT AS A HINT... and ask him...what you plan to do that night...
example dinner/movie and tell one of his friends or coworkers to tell him that he'll need to get you a gift...
it won't sound good if YOU tell him you need a gift obviously..
but he didn't put a lot of consideration into last year...so..don't forget that..and don't expect much...but if he starts to get excited for that night...and has started to get goofy....he probably DOES have the anniversary on his mind..
he might listen to friends/family more than you...not in a bad or personal way...but his friends/family and coworkers may see him more than you do..so they can send your hint for you...if they are willing...

Dont stoop to his level. Buy him something nice and if he doesnt get you anything or forgets entirely its time to move on.
EDIT - in response to the other answers here, why does 5 years need to lead to marriage? Perhaps she doesnt want to get married? People can be together and not have some stupid piece of paper saying its legal.

totally but dont hint to him that it is your anniversary if he forgets then to bad but if he remembers and you purposely forget that could put him in the same mood you are in. and then it will be a stupid anniversary from this point on

yeah. remind him about the anniversary. Guys suck with those little details. Girls are the ones who remember birthdays, and schedule stuff. Guys are the ones who fix stuff, run the barbeque and kill the spiders... Then get him a dirt bike. Guys like dirt bikes, and if he doesn't you should probably dump him for a straight guy.

Guys are guys and they'll always be guys...
They forget those things... they ALL do...
I would make him a nice candlelit dinner and have a card sitting by his place thanking him for the wonderful 5 years he has been with you. And if he forgot... don't be mad... that's just the way they are and we still love them!!

of course you should give him a present. even though he might ruin your mood and forget. suggestions-maybe a tie, gift card to a resturant/ shop he likes (like a body shop/"men" store), know what i mean. afterall, its the thought that counts and goes into it. also, its nice to get people gifts, not just on special days, surprise him.

Sure do something if you want to mark the occasion, but don't expect anything from him. Maybe something tht you both enjoy like going to dinner at a favorite restaurant.
