Basically x month anniversaries in a relationship.. what do you think of them?
My bf and i have been together coming up to 8 months, and so far, on our x month anniversaries (1 month, 2 months etc), we've text eachother a nice message and spent the day together, and went out for a meal (only pizza express etc, nothing real fancy) for our 3 and 6 month anniversaries. I think 3 and 6 are more milestones, and seeing eachother on our other anniversaries, or indeed going for a meal, isn't anything out of the ordinary for us anyway.
I've got 2 friends, who have both been in relationships for roughly the same length of time, and 1 makes such a huge deal out of their "monthiversaries", ie they go out for a proper meal (don't do this any other time though), buy eachother "i love you" bears, cards etc, and he didn't want my friend to go on holiday the week we've planned to because she'll miss their 8 month anniversary. now, i think this is excessive. he's very protective of her, possessive and a bit sickly romantic with it, like he has to make a show or big deal of things.
do you see the point? 8 months isnt a particular milestone is it? do you think its necessary to go overboard, or even to do anything at all?
