OP you're being pretty immature about this and I do not think the answer is to "get her back" but I suspect that gifts and sentimental things like celebrating anniversaries aren't that important to her and if you pretended to forget, she wouldn't care. (unless she found out that you were trying to punish her)


Just be an adult about this. Tell her what you want. And be patient, if she has been doing the same thing for four years and you haven't said anything, it might take some practice for her to switch gears.

For 4 years?

If her husband thinks generic gifts are meaningful, and can’t manage to have a conversation with her about their anniversary, then, probably, yes.

Stories like Op make my dad look like a thoughtful super hero every bday, holiday or anniversary.

You really don’t know what your spouse likes or needs or does with her time?!?

Ah, there it is. The "everything is the man's fault" person. Welcome to the thread.

From what? OP doesn't mention having 3-5 kids.

F that. I’d forget. She thinks she is the only deserving person.

Maybe she's exhausted.
