Yay!!

I like that you set up the fish tank. I've kept tropical fish for many years and now S13 has tanks. Think it's a great hobby for the boys.

Happy Anniversary! I hope that you have a pleasant evening and he remembers.

Thanks for all the anniversary wishes everyone! Too bad none of you are my H lol!

I'll post an update later, it's actually been a good day.

But here's my question...

If H says nothing, should I say nothing? I thought about wishing him a happy anniversary when saying good night, but am waivering on it. It would be a 180 for me not to aknowledge it, but I'm not sure what message that sends. We both know today is our anniversary (especially after my mothers comment the other day!), so is it weird to pretend its not?

So confusing!

Happy Anniversary, T.

Go with your gut. If you want to say it, say it. Keep it simple, no expectations, right?

Good evening all...

Well, there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary. We had a good day, he seemed to be in a happy mood, hung out as a family. That's certainly progress from last year.

But as the evening wore on, he became more distracted - and itchy. Of course texting.

I was going to say something when I said good night, but it didn't feel right at that moment.

It does make me sad that its as if our anniversary didn't exist, as though our wedding never happened frown

But I am trying to look at things from a more positive perspective...

So I posted last night about him coming home and the phone call. An hour or so later, he came up to bed for the night. Once again, he didn't go to the outer limits of the bed, but was more toward the middle. Our bodies were touching throughout the night.

He was in a good mood this morning. He noticed the fish tank and said he liked it, that he thought it was cool. Said he wanted to come with us to get fish.

So after naps, we went as a family to the pet store. It was nice.

S3's favorite color is blue, so we ended up with a blue beta fish. smile

Last year, H wasn't even home for our anniversary. Admittedly, he spent the evening with her (and others from work). So I guess this is progress.

Keep reminding myself they are doomed. They are the Titantic that just hasn't hit that iceberg yet.

Raine, I laughed out loud at your scrapyard comment! They will still make it to the beach, no doubt. Trying to not even think about it.

Sent away for some info on a few places that I am interested in taking boys on vacation. H claims he is going as of now, but we will see. We are going regardless of what he decides.

Going to bed now, big Transformers birthday party tomorrow! Have spent evening cleaning, decorating, and wrapping - all that's left to do is celebrate tomorrow smile

Accentuate the positive?

Just seems wrong somehow that progress comes with pain, doesn't it?:/

But now you have a happy little boy to think about today smile

Take care

T,
I'm sorry he didn't acknowledge your special day yesterday. I know it hurts and was a disappointment. He's further along than he was last year and maybe this time next year, he'll be even further along.

I have read that watching fish is a very soothing and relaxing way to bring the blood pressure down. It sounds like your little one is already enjoying the tank.

I hope your son has a fantastic birthday today.

Hey T, so glad you had a good day overall.

I am sorry that he didnt acknowledge your anniverary. That day did exist and nothing can take that away.

He has come so far and continues to move in your direction.

But, he still has a ways to go.

You have been so patient and loving. It matters, T.
