How would you feel if a significant other forgot your birthday, anniversary, or something else similar.

I'd be sad, but it would depend on why.

i dont require a gift but just once it would be nice if someone actually planned something not just pick up something up out of guilt

eh...no big thing to me really.

Would rather get a card or note "Just because" more so than worry on birthday or anniversary.

okay okay okay...go ahead and say it ladies - "Typical Man" laugh

I would feel they werent smart enough to know how to use a computer. Yahoo and other website have ways to remind you about important dates. your true friends never forget its a good way of weeding out the dead wood.

Not a big deal...

Here's my thinking.

If the relationship is healthy, expressions of love and appreciation are going to permeate it daily, anyway.


If the relationship is in the toilet, getting a gift or card on a "special" day isn't so special anyway.

He would be in the yard building his own dog house!

or

He would be lonely speaking to himself for a while.

or

He would be kicked to the curb if it was a newer relationship.



Your Significant Other should always remember the important days and make you feel special its not about anything but the actions ... from simple to sweet and intimacy.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, probably stringing myself up in the meantime and say "My memory stinks. I write everything down, and I always _always_ give an SO the caveat that my memory really, really stinks."

It's caused problems in the past. It'll cause problems in the future. If it gets Serious, I'll do the Memento thing. :) I dunno if it'll make up for a bad memory, but it can't hurt.

I always remember my SO birthday. My last relationship lasted 4 years and I NEVER received a card or anything on my birthday. I think I received a phone call once.
It is thoughtful if someone remembers...shows they care.

Hell my ex husband did not even know my middle name, did I expect him to remember a holiday or anniversary. I had to remind him 7 times this week alone that I'm going to Korea for the Army in 6months....
