Almost 25 years with my girlfriend (kbin.earth)

I am not sure how to commemorate with a present. I talked about it, but she said last year can't get better.

Last year I said I was going for bird feed and groceries, came home with a bottle of wine, bonbons and a big ass vase filled with 24 flowers and presented the gifts in stages 'ooh yeah forgot this one'. She was already happy with the choco.

One hand shopping bag, other arm vase and flowers because it did not fit in a bag walking home on icy pavement, I don't have a driver license so had to tread carefully, could have broken the vase, my legs and neck.

Maybe I'll finally go on my knees and ask her to marry? We argue sometimes who should propose. I just don't want to jinx our relationship.

My wife and I make anniversaries the time to do something, like dinner out or a weekend away or something instead of trying to buy gifts. After 25 years, you have probably bought each other our yourselves anything you actually need and you'll just start to accumulate objects.

I believe you are right.

The thing is my girlfriend needs to drive anywhere and she has a demanding job, a spontaneous weekend trip is difficult. So best thing would be to plan a few weeks off around our anniversary. I think that is possible.

Random idea, but maybe you could offer to drive her around for a few days, so she can relax and you can spend some time together.

The thing is I don’t have a drivers license, but thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe you should secretly learn to drive and then take her on a surprise outing.
