The disastrous Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday May 23rd was our wedding Anniversary. On the 22nd evening, I announced it to hubby dear as i was sure that he would completely forget about the D day and also dropped heavy hints of a candle light dinner that could be forthcoming

The man seemed totally baffled at the idea and did not seem to understand the relevance of the dinner. Come early morning on 23rd and I wished him and he wished me back as if it was routine and again went back to sleep

We went to our respective offices and in the middle of work, I asked him to come home early and the man did not get the hint.

I reached home as usual and wait for hubby dear to come in anytime as i had called and asked him.

By 7.30 pm i was getting impatient wanted to call him and find out the status of his journey. I resisted the urge ( my pride was at stake. I did not want to be begging )

By 8.45 p.m I could not hold back any longer. I call him and he was very casual and mentioned that he was on the way and will take another 15 minutes to reach. I was seething inside, but resisited showing it.

By 9.00 P.m, my expectations were much more realistic. I hoped to be presented with some flowers at least.......

By 9.15 p.m hubby dear walks in and announces that he dying of hunger and to please serve supper. I did not give him the usual welcome smile and went about laying the table and that is when he noticed that i was not my real self.

Our man is all concern by then; checking if everything was OK at office and if there was something that was out of order,. I kept mum. He deserved it :(

We had our very down to earth dinner. So much for hopes about the "candle lit dinner" et al..... and went to bed.
Early morning again our man is all "investigative journalist" and want to find out the reason for my being cross .....

I tell him so many words that i expected something on our anniversary atleast a flower and he thinks i am being silly and says that i should have reminded him in the evening to get something for me. MEN :((((((

So much for hopes.................
