Hello L:

Guys SHOULD be more sensitive to his girlfriends needs... But, they aren't... Take him as he is. You ain't gonna change him, and trying to will END the relationship.

6 month anniversary isn't a big celebration...a year, yes...6 months, not so much.

Anyway, ex is right...guys should be more sensitive to these things but we aren't. If he treats you well otherwise, then that's what's important.

First as a guy I would not even consider a 6 month a celebration and most likely would think the girl is a little over the top making a deal out of it at all.

Should he remember the year, yes, will he, most likely no, not unless you do some hints or remind him before hand. guys are not really into things, and if you don't remind them expect a lot of forgotten dates.

Is this the same idiot that you talked about a few months ago? The guy who disrespects you all the time? Why are you even still with him?

If you don't remind him, its YOUR fault he forget. That goes for everything, even changing his socks.

I don't understand this 6 month anniversary thing. If you celebrate 6 months is he also expected to celebrate every month you're together? I can understand celebrating the one year anniversary, but 6 months? How do you even determine the 6 month anniversary? Is it exactly 6 months to the day that you met? It makes no sense to me. It's not a monumental anniversary.

If he forget your one year anniversary then maybe I would say that you should be upset. But even then, it's just a date.

My husband remembers the exact date we met, and gets me something every year on that date. Truth told, if he didn't remind me, I wouldn't remember. Yes, it was an important date, but not nearly as important as the day we got married, or the day our children were born. I mean really, if I celebrated the anniversary of every milestone in my life, I would be celebrating 6 months out of the year.

Oh, goodness. My husband remembers my birthday only because it falls when pre-season football begins. We have been together for over 20 years.

Every year my boyfriend has to remind me which day it is. We always laugh about it. It never a problem.
