No anniversary celeb

[Crackerlove]

Our 1 year anniversary was last month. A few weeks before it my b/f made a casual comment about being together almost a year.

We went out to dinner the night before our actual anniversary. He didnt say it was to celebrate our anniversary though. Toward the end of dinner I said "Do you know what today is?" He looked at his phone and said "Actually it's tomorrow." He raised his wine glass and said "Happy Anniversary" and got a tear in his eye. Then he said "Has it really been that bad?"
We've had problems since our relationship started.. mainly because he was only separated when we met (he is since divorced a couple months).

A few days later I asked why he hadn't wanted to celebrate. He said "I didn't want to end up saying anything like 'I love you and can't live without you'... or 'let's move in together next week'. I know he is petrified of making another mistake... but I was kind of hurt that he didn't want to formally celebrate.. and fearful about saying those things.

I'm not sure what to make of it all. I wasn't expecting a ring or anything!

A year of your life you'll never get back...

Girl, where do you live? Don't make me come over there and drag you into Asshole Rehab. That guy is a
LOSER.

Kick him to the curb, already.

I don't know the rest of the story...is that behavior really appropriate Giga?

[Gigabitch]

It's nebulachic. He's a bonehead and she WON'T break up with him.

[vashti]

I think they both need a good amount of slapping.

[Gigabitch]

Maybe they'll start slapping each other soon and that'll take care of it.

[vashti]

Maybe we can help...

Ugh, this nebulachic asshole really pisses me off. Your incessant bitching, purposeful creation of unnecessary drama, and overanalytical bullshit sickens the living piss out of me. Cut yourself.

Yeah, I agree.

How people stay in relationships like this is beyond me.

Is there more to this story? or is there something I'm not getting?.. cos I don't think it's such a huge deal to not celebrate your anniversary in a big way.. me and my bf don't celebrate it beyond of course getting a bit lovey-dovey/sentimental/reflective, and if possible going out to dinner. heck, I wouldn't even be able to tell you exactly when it is without looking at a calendar.
so what am I missing?...??

[Junket]

Oooooh, right.

Yeah, it seems like she posts her questions and then leaves as soon as we start comin' down on her.

I'd like to get a hold of the guy and tell him to break up with her.

That, or destroy her computer.

[King Zarathu]

That, or destroy her computer.

Heee! Kiechi, IP me.

Yeah, it's not about the anniversary celebration. This girl has been posting for at least a year about the nature of this relationship (you might remember nebulachick), which basically sucks on both sides. She never listens to anyone's advice, and the nature of her posts are always the same. It's just a little frustrating, and I guess she has kind of worn out any sympathy she had in the beginning.
