My anniversary went by recently and neither of us even acknowledged it to the other. Its difficult to know whether that was the right thing to do but in the end i thought about what i wanted to say and posted that here because it was touching but definitely in the pursuing/beg/plead camp. I doubt anyone would have advised me to say those things though i still wish i had.

If i wasnt going to say that then i couldnt really say a more simple happy anniversay because she had already been pretty clear what she thought of the M.

i then felt like i wanted to vent my anger a bit but again that wouldnt have done any good

so in the end i felt my options were
Postive = pursuing = bad choice
neutral = false = bad choice
negative = negative = bad choice
nothing = nothing except in WAS head = nothing

so for me 'nothing' was better than a bad choice.

still felt rubbish though
