To celebrate or not to celebrate...

I'm in a strange predicament. The anniversary of the first time my boyfriend and I started dating is this weekend. We broke up for about 3 months in the spring. I feel like I want to get him a gift for the first time be asked me to be his girlfriend a year ago. Would you celebrate if you were apart for a few months?

Even if your breakup was on fairly friendly terms (which is possible), I wouldn't recommend this. I was in a relationship a few years ago where I was also extremely sentimental about our "anniversaries" (still would be, if I had a girlfriend) and I may have considered doing something like this a few years ago but I'm highly relieved that my friends talked me out of it. I even stayed friends with my ex for a while and only considered giving her a gift for Christmas but that was different. I would highly advise against getting him something to commemorate an anniversary that he may not remember

Oh trust me. I know he remembers. He gives me hard time for not remembering every detail of fun dates that we had, ha. Maybe I'll wait to see if he brings it up.

He buys me gifts a lot, so that's why I'm considering it.

I think the second poster missed the fact you guys are back together? At least that's what I"m assuming?

 

If the day has special meaning for you, then celebrate it.

I agree with this. Men love gifts too... in fact my boyfriend and I are constantly buying each other little gifts and trinkets and not just on special days either.

 

Just don't make it too elaborate or cheesy ...but yeah a small gift of something you know he will enjoy would be really nice IMO.
