I understand the sadness of anniversary's birthdays etc.
When my hubby and I were seperated in 2007 our 24th annivesary came and went without either of us acknowleding the occasion.......it hurt like heck..... but......my hubby is not or has never been the romantic /sentimental type, and when we reconciled and celebrated our 25th in our quiet way ( dinner and a night out together ) none of his family or mine even sent a card!! Now that hurt my feelings more than the 24th annv.
It was our " Silver " for gods sake. I think that maybe because the divorce had not been dropped by him yet at the time that the families felt it was not a time to celebrate?
IDK
You will get thru this day.........make some plans with friends, be with people that love you and that you love. Don't ignore the pain.....just live it and go thru it and continue on.........
