I (35F) have been married to my husband (38M) for almost two years. Since my company went remote last year, I have been working from home full-time. While I like the flexibility, I have missed the social interaction of being in the office. I have been making an effort to have lunch with my coworkers occasionally, and it has helped me feel like I still have a life outside the house. One of my closest work friends, James, just got promoted and is moving to Europe. He has been with the company for years, and a lot of us are going to miss him. The team is throwing him a farewell party next Thursday, and I told my husband I was planning to go. That is when he reminded me that Thursday is our wedding anniversary. He said he had already made dinner reservations as a surprise. I genuinely felt bad for forgetting but I told him we could still celebrate the next day or over the weekend. He said it is not the same and that it feels like I am putting a coworker ahead him. He did not yell or argue, but instead got quiet and started doing this thing where he mopes around and acts sad without really saying much. I told him anniversaries can be celebrated anytime, and this dinner is a one-time thing. James is leaving the country. I will not have another chance to see him off. My husband, on the other hand, will be here the next day, the day after that, and so on. Now he has been a bit distant all week, like I personally attacked him by not canceling my plans. It feels like I am dealing with a kid who is pouting because his birthday party did not go exactly how he pictured it. I get that anniversaries are special to some people, but I honestly do not think this is that big of a deal. We have only been married two years, and to me, the important milestones are five, ten, and so on, not every single year. I am still willing to celebrate, just not on that exact Thursday.
