Lilmisus Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 So..my one year anniversary is coming up. In a couple of weeks, it will be one year since my boyfriend and I went on our first date. Though we don't consider our actual anniversary to be till June (when we became an official couple at my brother's wedding), we both realize that this day is important to both of us, and want to celebrate it in some way. We worked together for a couple of months before we first went out, but we never really talked to one another till that night after he asked me out, and when we went out a couple of hours later,to a bar with some friends/coworkers. It was one of the best nights of 2010 for me, and I can still remember it, and the way he asked me out incredibly vividly. We both want to go back to that bar (have only been there three times since), play some pool like we did that night, and just enjoy each others company again over some bar food. Whether or not we'll do it at midnight like we did a year ago, I dunno, but I hope not. But I really want to do something a bit more romantic than that, but he's saying no, since ya know..it's not really our anniversary and we want to save the real romance for then. I'm wondering, what you guys would do, or have done for your one year anniversaries, with your current or past significant other? The reason why I'm asking, is that I've never reached a year with anyone before, and to reach it with him (especially after the past couple months being so horrible) is pretty unbelievable for me. It's hard to believe that I met him only a year ago, and that it has gone by this fast. And in case any of you are wondering, yes, I did say I would break up with him multiple times, and no, it never happened. I have about a dozen reasons why I haven't, but the main one is that I really need him right now. I've been going through a lot lately (and he's been going through even more) and he has suddenly become my rock, and the one person who I can go to to hold me and confide in, and to count on to cheer me up or to know what to say. Not feeling loved and cared by him ended a few weeks ago when I made that decision to end things, and since, he's been making me feel great. The feeling of needing to end things have gone out the window (though I don't know when or if they'll come back) and I'm just focusing on right now and today with him. So any suggestions, or your own stories would be more than appreciated.
blackmagik Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Well first off, congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone in your relationship! Any relationship that can stand the ups and downs that hold in a year and can still go strong is good! I would personally take my girl to the places we went on our first date. I remember everything incredibly vividly so to relive those moments with someone when we aren't in "first date mode" would be a great time. It doesn't have to necessary be romantic either, just enjoy each others company.

And although I can remember every last detail to that day, I know that he has the absolute worst memory out of anyone I've met and probably doesn't remember anything from it, besides that we went to the bar. He had to ask me the other day different details from it that I thought were easy to remember - like if we went with others, after work, or when he asked me out. But that's okay, I love him regardless, and just to be able to spend time with him and "relive those moments" for myself would be great. Especially if while doing so, he could remember different things that made the night so special for me in the first place. Plus, I'm just thankful he remembers my brother's wedding pretty vividly and doesn't need any help with that important date.
