totally random--but i was hanging with my bro last nite -- having some beers. and his friend shows up....today is his 3 year wedding anniversary. ( seriously don't know how they've made it 3 days let alone 3 years)
so i ask him if he has plans at all...and he says 'yeah i'm taking her out to dinner at southside's in lindenhurst tomorrow.' now--i don't want to sound like a brat or anything--but i felt that just seems so cheapy. i LOVE southside's -- its got great seafood--but lets be real here--its a fish market/almost cafeteria style restaurant. you stand in line--order your food---wait for it to be ready and then find a random table to sit at....that hopefully has been wiped clean from the last people who used it. you have to pay $2 to 'rent' a cracker for crab legs and such.....not something i would deem 'romantic'
i then asked if there was anything else they were gonna do--and hes like 'i'm taking her to see mamma mia this wknd' so i think 'oh good.....that's prob why he's going cheap on the anniversary day--cause he paid $$ for the tix' and as i'm thinking it he says 'figured i might as well---i got the tix for free from my MIL--so why not'
he might be one of the most unromantic cheapos i've ever met.
do you think if your DH planned such a 'romantic' anniversary...it would kind of feel bleh to you?

Re: Just curious--would you be a lil upset?
I would say if money was an issue it would be fine, if that was my favorite place I would be fine too....but it doesnt seem like that is the case so I would definitely be upset without a doubt. There seems to be no effort involved at all

Yeah, I'd be pissed if I were his wife. The amount of effort he put into making his anniversary special shows how (un)important his marriage is to him.

He sounds like a jack azz, but maybe his wife doesnt care. I'm not a huge anniversary person, we've never done anything for our dating anniversaries, I think we went to Chili's one year.
I'd rather save the money for something big, like a really nice trip every few years, or new furniture.

I like southside but If I'm dating someone for 3 year - (depending on his financial status) I expect a better (romantic) place for our anniversary.

Yes I would be upset if my husband did that, but maybe they like going there?? To each his own.
