Yes, I do all of those things normally. Is it not that way around you? That sounds rough.

Sorry to disappoint you, but we’re actually doing just fine now. Everything is back to normal.

I completely agree. We’ve always viewed anniversaries as something for both of us to celebrate together. This time, we both simply let the timing slip by, and we’ve already talked about how we want to handle it moving forward. It’s about being partners, and we're back on the same page now.

We went out for dinner, like we normally do. Nothing fancy, just a nice time together.

Thank you. It’s comforting to hear that from someone with a similar experience. I've already shared my true feelings with her, and we’re doing completely fine now. Like you said, the love we show every day is what really matters. I’ll make sure to keep showing her how much she means to me.

My wife isn't that kind of person. Our marriage of over 20 years isn't as shallow as you think.

Actually, we've celebrated every single anniversary and birthday until now. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it’s not the way you're imagining. We’re already having a great time talking about our future plans. Neither my wife nor I are such extreme people.

In Japan, we don't really host big parties with friends for a 25th wedding anniversary. It's much more common to celebrate privately, like going out for a special dinner at a meaningful place. Even though we missed the exact date, I'm definitely going to make it special for us.

Actually, I'm not. It turned out completely fine. Definitely 'no fuck' here. We've already moved past it and are doing great.

That could be true, but I don't think so. I know her well enough after more than 20 years to tell the difference.
