Today was our anniversary and I had no idea. It’s almost end of day now and I’m here looking for suggestions, so things are already worse. How to get things back to normal

Don’t force it today. It’s too late - if they’re mad, trying to ram some thing home today is going to make it worse. So give them a rain check - make the card, apologize for missing the day and schedule the makeup for next Saturday (or whatever convenient time). Then just put together a cool day for the two of you.

Once you’ve done that - have an actual conversation with them about what celebrations like this should look like and make plans together. This year is 20 years since we met, plus we had two weddings (court house, then big white dress day 15 months later) - some years we celebrate all, some we forget all. We have a running joke that one of us will remember late in the day and send the other a message or call them to say “happy anniversary - I win!”. One year, my mother in law sent us a message together saying happy anniversary and that is what reminded both of us.

Make it something for both of you so that one of you isn’t carrying all the burden.

Are you in Basel?

Yea

If you are working in Basel (Switzerland) - your HQ is there … call Restaurant “roots” amazing place. Tell them you need a romantic dinner

You gotta hurry and make up for it, make a quick dinner reservation, take her shopping, apologize directly and say you want to make it up to her. Be attentive, and dont be offended if she's resistant to forgive. Just accept that you messed up and she will eventually forgive you!

Acknowledge the oversight sincerely and make a spontaneous plan to celebrate. Write a heartfelt note or card expressing your love and regret, then suggest a special dinner or activity to make it up. Remember, the effort and sincerity will go a long way in mending things.

I’m so confused! Isn’t it a 2- way street? Why is it one partner’s responsibility?

It went okayish … trying disaster control but still things are pretty much in favour
