Need to Vent: DH ignoring 1 year Anniversary
**Update: he woke up from his nap and went straight to the bathroom to shower so I still just didn't say anything. When he came out he was dressed and asked if I'd change too so I asked "why" and he told me he'd like to take me on an ice cream date; I've been asking to go all summer but he always told me to take his sisters. I asked if it was for our anniversary and he said yea. I told him thank you and I was excited but asked why he didn't say anything to me all day. His reason; "well I made breakfast so I thought that was enough". He's made breakfast a few times, plus his little sister stayed over so he was cooking for her also. Apparently I didn't think to read into the situation. I told him that I didn't interpret it as that way and to me it seemed like he didn't want to acknowledge the day or even seemed to care, and that it hurt my feelings. He said that's not how he meant it to seem. While I'm glad we had that little talk and I'm grateful for the impromptu date he still hasn't said anything about the anniversary, so I'm just leaving it alone**
I just need to vent.
Today is our one year wedding anniversary. I honestly wasn't expecting anything miraculous or spectacular from my husband, but a small part of me was hoping for a little something. For example, him to actually say happy anniversary would have been nice. And no, he didn't forget. After I woke up I told him Happy Anniversary and all he did was somewhat smile. Lightheartedly I asked "you aren't going to say it back?" and all he did was shrug. I dropped it. We went to one of his little sisters softball games where his mom told us Happy Anniversary and she asked if my husband remembered. I said yep and again, lightheartedly, "but he wouldn't say it back". Again, all he did was shrug.
To add insult to injury, he knew that last night I was wanting some romantic time. After spending literally all day with his family he then told his youngest sister it was ok if she stayed the night with us. So yea, no romantic time for us then. Even though I was slightly irritated I didn't say anything or present myself as upset.
It makes me feel petty being upset but at the same time, it's really hurt my feelings. Like I said I honestly wasn't expecting anything; some flowers would have been nice but I knew that most likely wouldn't happen. But to have him at least acknowledge the day or say something sweet would have been nice.
