I guess you were an anniversary would be tough to deal with. However typically anniversaries are meant as a celebration. So I would play the wait-and-see. Only respond if the wife makes first contact.
If you make the first move then you're going to have expectations of some kind a reciprocation. If you don't get any then you would just build up resentment.
Good point. I did not see or look at it that way. But you guys/Gals see how i ahve been and see things better than i do from the inside. I honestly did not think if it that way..
