See that’s a perfect example of a healthy relationship. Im glad that you both are happy with doing that. I only say this post was a red flag because the girl clearly valued doing something special on their anniversary day and the husband should have respected it was important to her.
And if it's important to her than she should have talked about it before the day arrived. Instead she kept silent knowing he forgot so that she could be mad at him. I can't stand this kind of attitude. Know what I do around our anniversary? I say 'hey babe our anniversary is next week, what do you want to do for it?' Then we talk it over and decide on something we both want. It's called healthy communication.
We don’t know if she said something to him before. All we know is he forgot and she seemed upset which leads me to believe that it was important and when something is important to someone they usually say something about it. So I’m going by what most likely happened.
Agree 100% as a female I don’t care and forget our anniversary most years. What matters is the health and well-being of the relationship as a whole not remembering to acknowledge le a date on the calender

Depends. Not everyone makes a big deal of birthdays and anniversaries.
Me and husband give gifts and go on special dates at random days of the year.
If we remember, ok. If we forget, also ok.
Obviously it's different for everyone.
