Anniversary? *Shrugs* Who Cares?

Apparently not my husband..
Yes, I whined about him last week. Yes I'm whining about him again. I have issues.
Friday was our 5 year anniversary. Not for marriage, but for dating. 5 years ago Friday, we became a couple. 3 years ago Friday, he proposed to me. The baby was out of the house, we had the night to ourselves.
I got home from work expecting SOMETHING to happen. I got a letter. "Hey honey, please fold laundry when you get home. Also, Happy Anniversary." And that was it.
No card, no flowers, no poem, no dinner, no movie. Yes, we have a mortgage now and need to save money, but where do you draw the line? When you can't even celebrate a milestone in your relationship, it's time to re-evaluate. And it's not like there aren't FREE things he could have done. For instance, if the note had instead read: "Hey honey, I Folded the laundry. Happy Anniversary" I would have probably felt differently about it. But no. He spent the evening playing WoW, so I had to find other things to do to amuse myself. Played some Spore, caught up on TV, whatever.
And for anyone that thinks I should be telling him this instead of the world, well I did. Loudly and angrily.
And I bet everyone $100 that it will still happen next year.

I'm speechless. You should buy yourself whatever you want, but something extravagant, I'll bet that will teach him a lesson!
