LR: Why does he say these things maybe habit, we all laugh at some point and say "im off if you dont behave yourself" but its something else to me now!
I think he's just clueless and was trying to engage naughty rabbit. Not that it makes it any easier on you!
I'll think some about the anniversary. Not sure. Would be a nice time for new rings in an ideal world but not now probably. How about some lighter celebration like a special picnic or, I don't know, something light, out of the ordinary ho-hum but without the burden (financial or emotionally) of "renewing vows" and "wearing our rings" and all that?
Good luck with your busy schedule! Sounds like you're getting more rest now or H is being nice. One or the other!
