It irritates me whenever couples say that they’re celebrating their “X” month anniversary. Because there is no such thing! First, the terminology is all wrong. An anniversary is a
yearly measurement (as an
annual), not monthly. If it’s a monthly celebration, it should have been called a monthaversary…or something.
I understand if teenagers pull this “monthly anniversary” bullshit because they’re fickle and break up with each other weekly. But when I see adults doing it, that is just annoying. It’s like a subconscious confession that a relationship cannot last more than a year, and therefore, has to be broken down into smaller increments.
Or there might be the possibility that the couple is actually madly in love and want any excuse to celebrate whenever possible.
Or the girl is just saying that so her boyfriend will treat her royally ever month and give her material to brag about it to her girlfriends.

happy monthversary!
if he gets me my chocolate cupcakes, we can have daily-versaries
hahah :)
I usually celebrate 6months, 1 yr then afterwards it really depends.. usually 2nd yr is celebrated but not always :)
jaded much? ;)
HELL YES.
@davidian - the better question to ask is, bitter much? hahaha.
Yeah!
It's actually Lunniversary.
= )
But I don't think people actually bother to remember that.
^_^
agree
Oh...let them indulge in their ignorance.
i am going to assume that you are single and not in a relationship. and if i was a betting man i would even go as far as to wager my left nut--that is the better nut of my set.
p/s.: perhaps a dash of bitterness on top.
one of my biggest petpeeves!
I don't see anything wrong with it if a couple wants to celebrate with one anothre, but there's definitely no need to announce it to your friends or stress over it... "OMG, it's our 5 month anniversary! What should we do?!?" LAME!
these people should be stoned. with dictionaries.
Good way to score a free steak ;)
haha i say happy monthevesary
but i guess im a teen.
even though we've been together for more than 2 years.
our one month anniversary of meeting each other IRL just passed.
It's much easier staying in a relationship without paying attention to such nonsense. One of my exes would drive me nuts with that junk, then again she was a teen at the time.
I told my bf that I wanted monthly gifts! Hahahaha.
yea i think its definitely the material stuff the girls like to show off...sheesh....some girls are just so expensive hahahaha
Way to go!!! I usually encounter outrage when I mentioned this to any of the girls. Thank goodness there are other girls who feel the same way!
The last option is most likely. No way in Hell do guys want to celebrate anymore "girlfriend days." Month-aversaries are the worst invention ever.
I've always thought X month celebrations of relationships are juvenile and a total waste of time. I stick to the yearly measurement.
I agree. I personally don't even believe in celebrating anniversaries while dating. i think it's more meaningful in a marriage..
I agree completely. My boyfriend didn't even think that one year was that special because his previous relationship lasted 2 years. We just hit the 3rd year mark this week.
i used to think it was a stupid idea, too, until i met my husband. it was his idea actually. there are thousands of great restaurants where we live; why not try a nicer one once a month? having a standing date night is nice, especially since both of us have such busy schedules. when we got married almost 4 years ago, we just changed the day to our wedding date, instead of our "dating" date. now that we have a baby, we've been a little delinquent on these (need a babysitter, past baby's bedtime, etc). however, last month we tried a lunch date instead and that was really nice. now more than ever, we need to set aside time just for the two of us.
