Poll: Who plans anniversaries?
Since we're nearing on our one year anniversary, I've started thinking about things we could do to celebrate and I'm curious how you guys figure it out and who plans anniversaries in your relationship?
I tend to be a planner and think ahead but H tends to wait until the last minute. We've tried to do this "H plans odd years, I plan even years" for our dating anniversary but most of the time I get impatient and end up making the plans.
Re: Poll: Who plans anniversaries?
I plan everything. If it were up to H we would spend all day everyday watching TV. Well besides the occaisional jeep run I guess.
Does that ever get to you? For our dating anniversary this year, it was H's year to plan and he literally waited until the day before to figure something out so we ended up doing something not memorable bc he wasnt able to get reservations to the place he wanted to take me. Whereas when I plan I have it figured out at least 2 wks out so it frustrates me that I put so much time and thought into it and to him its like I'll get to it if I have time.
I am a planner like you so most of the time I end up talking about it before he has a chance. For anniversaries. For birthdays i don't say anything so we don't do anything. But when I really get frustrated is when I think of the perfect thing and then he shoots me down. Otherwise...I guess I don't really mind planning. I accept that he doesn't care about it like I do.
P is a total procrastinator! I usually hear, "well this is what I wanted to do" omg just do it then.
As you can see I'm a little bitter about that. So, I usually say I like this, this is what we're doing. Then I get all the kudos in the end.
I plan everything. We don;t reallly celebrate our anniversaries that much but for bdays and stuff I make all the plans. DH bday is Oct and I knew what we were going to go since feb. My bday was mar and I am still waiting for my gift and the dinner he promised me.
It does really bug me but I also know this is how he grew up. His family never plan anything. And bdays and holidays were just hand over a envelope with some cash.
So I am doing things in baby steps. Like for these past 2 christmases, he actually really made an effort to buy me all these perfect giftts and even some really great stocking stuffers. Plus he bought presents for our family members without me prompting him. maybe in like 10years we will have things figured out.,
DH and I alterante every other year...I plan the odd number years and he plans the even numbers!
Lol! It's so true!
Thanks guys, it's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with this!
And right after I created this thread and was annoyed that I had once again planned our anniversary, H emails me to tell me not plan anything for our anniversary since he's got it covered. Guess he's not a lost cause just yet.
yey mark!!! Now we are all going to be wondering what he planned.
