Remembering anniversaries

Let’s have a survey. Do you think it’s important for your significant other to remember your birthday / the date you got engaged / your wedding anniversary / other kinds of anniversaries? Are gifts important? Would you expect your significant other to buy you a pricey gift for your birthday and / or anniversary compared to other anniversaries? Would you get pissed off if they forgot?

And can you distinguish between you wanting them to really remember or do you just want them to remember because society has made it such that if they don’t remember and get you something that means they must not care about you?

if u were gonna surprise him with a gift, i think u ruined the surprise ;) :p :)

but....he better emmeber my birthday. and the day we get married. and our child's birthday. that's all i ask for, in terms of remembering dates. i have a somewhat abnormal memory, in which i can remmeber the first time my mother caught me talking on the phone wiht a guy (september 4, 2001) or the first day i met this guy that pretty much ruined my life ---march 6, 2002, or ooo the day i met the guy that i think ive fallen in love with (february 9, 2004)...yeah..im weird

It is important to remember big dates. i.e. Birthdays, wedding anniversary, engagement date/when you first said I love you, etc. but I don't think it's necessary to remember the date when you touched each other, when you kissed, when you went out to eat for the first time, and their relatives' birthdays or big days etc.

I personally don't like to receive/give gifts, so words will do for me.

i agree with shikra.. birthdays and anniversaries are important.. but all other things are just society and culturally influenced

birthdays and anniversaries are quite personal and they in some way define you, hence those days should be rememebered…

gifts arent all that important. I would probably give my significant other (if he even exists :halo: ) a gift, but wouldnt expect him to do the same.. words are i think far more meaningful. Oh, and cards!

i wud want and expect my husband to ALWAYS remember aesi dates…especially my bday and wedding aniversary…
no i wudnt want sum pricey gift every year :smack: …par sirf Happy Birthday ya…happy wedding aniversary kehne se hi bohat kuch pata lagta hai…keh he ACTUALLY thinks about u often…n u hold a really important place in his life…well…obviously u do …thats why he married u :smack:…par aksar pyaar ka izhaar kerna parta hai :snooty:

n we can bake a cake together :blush:
n then throw at each other :blush:
no kharcha…parr still have fun :smiley:

ok ok i’ll stop with all my dreamz…lol…

par yeah these things ARE important :slight_smile:
atleast to me…

(n they better be important to him also :halo: )

I forget sometimes.

He always remembers :blush:.

I think it’s important to remember, but missing every now and then isn’t a big deal. What matters is know that you are important to the other person.

And as long as you get flowers and chocolates to make up for the forgetfulness.

i dont think dates are important...
its such a err pain to remember them..

who cares....

although i have a very good memory (mashaallah) i intentionally forget such dates.... :p

I think at least each others birthday and the wedding anniversary should be remembered. The gifts you give each other don't have to be pricey. It's the thought that counts.

Remembering birthday is very very very veryyyyy important :o
