It would have been my 16th anniversary on the 1st Feb. I was told on the 23rd Jan the year before, so I am 2 anniveraries down the line.

I wrote a blog about how i was feeling on my last anniversary:

Strange how time and circumstances change you.

Thanks to you all
I've been quickly popping in and out of wiki whilst at work although only now been able to make a post.

It really does help to get posts from other people, I so so wish that I had found wiki at the start of this nightmare.

You're all bloomin great!!

Anniversaries are just so awful aren't they? Our wedding anniversary was also Easter Sunday and both of us are also thirty this year- weird concept celebrating without him. We also originally got together on Valentine's day 11 years ago. These anniversaries are manky. This said, on good days I can see the possibilities of making my own new anniversaries eg.????? Can't think!

Hope you're ok mirfield.

Hi All
I know exactly what you all mean. My ex moved out just days after our 20th wedding anniversary- he told me he was going about 6 weeks before. It was really sad not 1 card or happy anniversary message. He did suggest we went out for a meal to mark the occasion but I'd already arranged a special tea at home instead.(there wasn't much to celebrate) When he got home from work he wouldn't even sit at the table with me and didn't say 2 words.Not an anniversary I'd wish to remember yet a few months before I was really looking forward to it as it was a special number this year.Just goes to show we don't know what's around the corner! one things for sure next years can't be as bad.

Hi

Anniversaries and birthdays are difficult to deal with. On what would have been our 31st anniversary he bought ow flowers instead. Vals day he took her to Spain, my birthday - who knoes what he did. On our non 31st anniversay I spent the morning in the solicitors as he was demanding finances to be sorted immediately and the afternoon in a child protection conference re our grandchildren.

I will in future celebrate the day he left, still lying about his affair, even though he moved in with her. I will also celebrate the day of the absolute.

I also believe that those that cause so much pain in the ones that love them will either feel the same amount of pain at some stage in the future or go through life not knowing what it is to truely love someone - either way it will be their loss - my thoughts anyway.

Treat it as a day like any other

New celebrations will come in the future (I hope)
Tricia
