I have not read the personals lately and I am so sorry I missed this post. My dear friend I feel so bad for you. 38 years? I can't believe that you don't even qualify for a card. I hope he shows you in other ways that he cares. This made me sad. I agree buy yourself a gift or take a vacation.........Hugs to you.
109762Thank you for all your sweet and uplifting comments.Well even my children think it's not very respectful to ignore our weddingday. He didn't forget just thinks it's not necessary to do something special. so indeed no card,flowers,diner or something. (Sometimes he doesn't even buy me a birthdaypresent.) I never get flowers. BUT that's why I feel very appreciated by you and thank you all for being my friends and for the flowers I get from you.
740448Sorry Gerry - I didn't see this post. I'm sorry you didn't receive anything, but maybe he is just not the type to do that. I'm sure he still loves you - but it would be nice to get a card etc. Love Chris
234256I am sorry I missed this post. I hope you had a nice day in spite....Just be thankful you have a nice decent husband that loves you. Some of us could tell you stories to make you realy appreciate him just like he is! It would not hurt for you to drop some very big hints if you word it just right! heehee Oh heck, just tell him you would like a new car or a diamond ring or a trip to Hawaii but you would be happy with a pretty bunch of flowers or a night out with him. Make light of the situation and maybe he will remember. BUT DON'T bet money on it! Some men are just not wired that way. I ask my son ahead of time what he is planning or if he wants me to help him pick out something for his wife and that reminds him and he always tells me he needs no help. I just make him remember! She was married to a louse for 26 yrs and she deserves to be treated better that he treated her!!!!!! I want to make sure my son gets in the habit of spoiling her before I am dead and gone and can not remind him!
24961Gerry so sorry I missed this. And I hope YOU had a wonderful day. Men?????
18960I see that this was 4 days ago. Sorry I missed it Gerry. Hope you had a super day.
253108OH! My dear, only today Li this postage... It forgives me!?
I regret for you, but it continue insisting. Show that you are an affectionate woman.
It do 38 years of marrieds and close, it is a privilege! It is a divine grace! Congratulations!
46919Gerry, so sorry I am late with your Wedding Anniversary good wishes - I am also sorry that your DH didn't meet your expectations - after all these years - if you don't tell him - that you would like a small gift or token - he will never know - I am glad that we could make you feel better with our good wishes - but we allow how another treats us and if we don't like it - we either accept it or say something to change it. I adore you and only want you to grow and I know you will.
211078Happy Anniversary! Enjoy every minute of your life together, presents or not :) He is your present.
462683I am just reading this so i am a day late, sorry. I think we as women always feel different about annivs.than our husbands. We will celebrate 38yrs. in Nov. And some yrs. my husband gives me a card and sometimes a gift. I always give him both. Its hard to feel like the material things dont matter but, i agree with you its nice to be acknowledged. Take care and do random acts of kindness to him. It will confuse him.
6596I am in my second marriage and my husband never gives me anything. My first husband always remembered each occasion and Christmas was always special. He died after 38 years of marriage. I guess we just have to accept them as they are.
48168You could always let him read this post by accidentally leaving it up on your screen. He may need a little nudge. We have been married 38 years also and I actually asked my DH to stop bring me flowers. My allergies just can't take some of them. Hope your Anniversary was special just remembering the time you two have been together.
89895I hope he remembers...tell him girls like little surprises.

72397well it's 23.00 hour now,
and it's the same as every year :(
just a normal routine day, nothing special, so again I'm a little disappointed, because every year I buy him a little gift and every year he accepts it but never does the same for me.
But thank you my dear friends for your wishes and support. Thank you for giving me the possibillity to write here how I feel.Hugs and *** for you all.

740448Reading comments and your replies I see that you have not been given a present. Go and buy something for your self and thank him for it
114510Happy Ann. your just a little behind me i was married 38 in Feb. of this year lol carolyn
360438I do wish you a wonderful Anniversary!! Being married 38 years is so wonderful and not heard of much these days. I'm wishing you many, many more happy and healthy years together. My husband and I have been married for 21 years and we don't get each other anything. With the job he retired from (police) and his heart health issues I'm just happy he is here with me. We have each other and that is wonderful. We may go out to eat and/or to a movie. Spend the time together as life is so short. Flowers are nice but they don't last as long as the wonderful memories of being together.
