My 10th wedding anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks. And.....I dread it. Now, before you're all like, "wha...?!?", let me explain. For quite some time, I've been hoping and wishing that my husband will totally surprise me and actually do something nice, sweet, and/or romantic for our 10th anniversary, coz well it's supposed to be special right? But unfortunately, my gut says that this one will be just like all the rest- uneventful. I don't even get a card on our anniversary. I honestly don't think he has EVER given me a card for our anniversary. I don't get that kind of thing. No birthday cards, anniversary cards, and I don't always get Mother's Day cards either. I don't know if it's just me or what, but it bothers me and hurts my feelings, and he knows this, yet he never bothers to think 'oh hey maybe I'll surprise her for this special occasion and get her a card to show her I was thinking of her and went out of my way to show it'. We don't even go out to dinner alone for our anniversary because we don't know anyone here well enough to have a sitter (and yeah, we've lived here for 6 years, sad I know). I broke down and ordered him something because I couldn't just NOT do something special even though I wanted to just not do anything to "prove a point", but that just isn't me. I got him a clear glass paperweight thing that has soulmate on it, with the definition, and at the end it has "i.e., April and Aaron", and ordered a card along with it that I personalized with a pic of us from shortly before we were married and ordered it to say under the pic "...and so it began, and so it goes on. Love always, April". Even though I know I'll get nothing. And I know how selfish that sounds, and I don't really mean it to sound selfish. I don't care if I get a "gift" or not. I want just something thoughtful, to show me that this 10 years is something special and even if it is just through some stupid card that someone else came up with. Is it that really too much to ask? I mean honestly, is it shallow or selfish of me?
