Maybe I'm Materialistic.
I'm so, so disappointed in my husband.
He didn't get me anything for our anniversary! It's only the cotton anniversary (which I told him) so I didn't expect much (I got him a shirt).
Maybe I could have let it go if I hadn't specifically told him on valentines day (when he didn't get me anything) that I expected something at the least for our anniversary and I was sad that he didn't get e anything for valentine's.
He used money as an excuse, but I know he has the funds (not much but enough). I mean, he could have at least gotten me flowers, or a card, or something! My favorite flowers are only $4 at our HEB.
Needless to say, nobody got laid last night.
Dinner was good though. I cashed in points for two $10 gift cards to Chili's (which is where we went) and he paid the difference.

Re: Maybe I'm Materialistic.
But, I got you some flowers:
I am so sorry, girl. That blows in a major way and I know how disappointing it can be when you get your hopes up and get completely let down, even when you aren't expecting that much. There's really not much I can say to take away that feeling but I hope that D comes around to realizing that he can make up for it somehow.
I hope the dinner was at least tasty and that he surprises you another time (hopefully soon!) with some flowers or something nice since he dropped the ball this time around.
Have some cotton candy:
Kill him.
And then buy yourself flowers so you can enjoy them.
**hugs**
I am sorry to hear that he didn't come through on the anniversary, even after Valentine's day. Here's hoping he surprises you soon with something to make up for the lack of effort!
I was a bit petty.
I showed him the shirt i got him.. then told him I got it for myself, and kept it. I plan on wearing it tomorrow...
It's an awesome shirt.
I don't think it's materialistic, considering you had already discussed it, so the expectation was there.
My H and I don't typically do gifts (just dinner), but for our first anniversary, we just told each other what we wanted. Had he of flaked out, I would have been upset too.
Not materialistic! All it takes is something simple, like you said, flowers or a card.
I'm sorry :-( I don't think it's materialistic or petty. Like you said, even a little something, a card or flowers, is something that you told him you'd appreciate.
Not materialistic.
Is your hubby super forgetful? I'm not sure what would make him forget like the especially since Valentine's Day was JUST here.
Sorry he's being kind of a derp. ::::Hugs::::

Well, then yes! Be pissy about it. If she had already communicated this, then he should have learned.
Thanks everyone.
The more I was dwelling over it, the more I was starting to feel like you cant put a value on love blah, blah, blah.
I just wanted the effort.
I guess I'll just have to put him down..
I'll get lots of flowers then.
That really sucks. I would be straight forward and tell him I'm upset. I would also add a card isn't expensive and just a little thought goes a long way.
Sorry you're disappointed.

I'm sorry, ABs.
I'm not sure if you saw my post awhile back but this happened to me on our 1st anniversary and on my birthday this year after I clearly communicated how upset I was on our anniversary. We don't usually exchange gifts and I can't eat out, but I would've loved a card or homemade dinner -- it's the thought that counts. My H is awesome in most areas but when it comes to this stuff, he's kind of clueless.
I totally understand where you're coming from and don't think you're being petty at all! I really don't know what goes through their heads (or lack of) sometimes. Make sure you make it known that you're upset! And hopefully it won't happen again.
*hug*
I'd be upset too. And I'd have let him know. Actually, unlike you, I wouldn't have kept the shirt. I'd have given it to him and made a snide comment about the one-way gifting. Jay and I rarely fight, but that doesn't mean we hide something that is bothering us. At least I don't. I'm too vocal about damn near everything.
I'm sorry you were disappointed.
