OT - I know this advice wasn't to me but it is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. Thanks. My anniversary is tomorrow and "bombiversary" is Sunday, and I have been agonizing over a card for weeks (for the anniversary, not for the other!). Yes I'm technically "Piecing" but our M is nowhere near a good one for either of us right now. So it's an excellent reminder. I'm at a point of not even wanting the day to be recognized or special at all. Even if we stay M'd I think I will want to choose a NEW date to celebrate.

CVA - sorry for the brief hijack. I haven't read your whole sitch but unless your W has recommitted to your M, I agree with OT. What kind of card could you possibly get that would do anything GOOD in your sitch?

Mushy card or generic card with mushy reminiscing: pursuit - chases her away

Generic card: reminds her how totally messed up your M is right now

Funny card (or really, ANY card): looks like you are totally dismissing her feelings

... any card types that I missed??
