With all of the expectations men and women have about anniversaries, there’s no wonder that they can be a source of frustration and anxiety.

This description is so true, and really nails it on the marker too. Us women want to be doted on, and worshipped too. We may see the "bling" and flashy gifts as the answer, when it really isn't. Ladies, if your man loves you, he will express that in ways he's comfortable expressing it. His heart is literally fragile in your hands. Appreciate him, adore him. Especially if he works hard in creating/ sharing a life with you. With all the technology we have today, this is one area of life that truly takes us back to the basics.

They mean look how far we've come! It should be honored in a way that pleases both people.

Depending upon the couple....I think an anniversary can either be a celebration...or another year of managing to survive with your partner.....argytunes

Exactly. For us, it was a day to acknowledge the passing of time, and nothing more.The year of our thirtieth anniversary, though, we realized that the prospect of family making a big fuss and throwing a party was just too absurd to contemplate, so we separated the month before. Not easy, but now we're counting the separation date as the anniversary of our new, better, realities.

I think one of the issues between women and men (at least from what I have experienced) is that a woman can have multiple anniversaries (first date, first kiss, first night together, first time he held your hand, first time you ate pizza together....) while a guy generally will have one or two (first date and day of marriage).So, it isnt always about the man not caring, its sometimes just about the man not realizing all the little dates a woman has in her head (and each woman is different).
