Some people might REALLY hate me for saying this, but REALLY? MONTHIVERSARIES?I partially agree that getting through a relationship month by month is worth making note of, and for some, something to be proud of. However, there are some that completely, I think, completely out of their minds. Extravagant celebrations take place each and every month (I would give examples but that would be too mean) ... just to celebrate this "love" that has so quickly blossomed.
Some people just put me in a state of jaw-dropping awe ... I've seriously seen some couples go to the extent of celebrating their "Happy 1 week!" or "Happy 14 days! I LOVE YOU SOSOSO MUCH!"
Please spare me. I know probably what you guys do in your relationships is completely none of my business, but when the celebrations go to the cyberworld where everyone else is suddenly part of this joyous time ... well, I am entitled to have an opinion.
By my standards, celebrating a "half-year", "year" and more ... that's reasonable, but "month" "week" "day" ... really?!?!?!?
BUT ... I suppose that's young love for you. Cudos to those who would have so many monthiversaries to the point you can longer count anymore..

I can totally relate, and fully agree with you on this one! I don't know if it's just me, but I really don't understand how people are able to fall in love so fast. Maybe I am just not a hopeless romantic like others, but the constant reciting of "I Love You" and celebrations of minor events just seem rather ridiculous to me. I don't mean to say that couples should never celebrate their relationship - they should - it should just be done at the right time and place.
ReplyDeleteWe need to get rid of this "Monthiversary"!
While you may be right in saying that some couples over-do the celebrations, I don't see anything wrong with having monthiversaries while dating. I find that it's perfect for self/relationship evaluation-- to touch base again with your other half, especially when sometimes it's so easy to forget why you fell in love with your other half in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI think the first month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years... etc are worth celebrating. Although the first month isn't a huge accomplishment, I still think it's somewhat important. My boyfriend and I will still say like "happy 32 months" (this Thursday ;D LOL) but we won't celebrate it or anything. Milestones are by year!
ReplyDelete@Michelle: We shouldn't get rid of it entirely, I just wanted to make note of how unnecessary and how trivial some monthiversary celebrations can be.
ReplyDelete@Misu: You're right, monthiversaries are great for self/relationship evaluation ... something to acknowledge and something to be happy about.
However, my only problem with it is the recurring pattern of extravagant celebrations, and celebrations that declare "love" at such an early stage in a relatonship ... (re: Happy 14 days! I love you so so so much... etc.)
@Becky: Dude, I don't know if I can even keep count past 20... LOL
HAPPY ONE DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY hahahahhahaa

ReplyDeleteu guys suck
ReplyDeleteI use to think monthiversaries were completely stupid until my boyfriend showed me otherwise. Lol. He actully gets a bitch fit if I forget about it. But we don't get all extravagant. Thats stupid. Just spending the day with eachother is enough. And honestly, its nice to hear a "I love you" every now and then.
ReplyDeletePeople falling to fast for eachother is normal as any other relationship. Everyone has different speeds in falling in love.
i totally agree with you on this. people have their own prospects, they fall in love at diff pace. it all depend on your mindset. people going againts the idea of monthiversaries denotes that they either single or just envious for some reason.
Deletesincerely,a wise lover.
Sometimes the feelings had occurred long time prior to the “official” date of the relationship. Therefore the feelings can be so deep. Even for a day. As for me, there is nothing wrong at all if u want to celebrate monthiversary and to express your feelings in every way. In love stories, there are no specific rules on how to love someone or to be loved. It depends on the person themselves. Even we ourselves will have our own interpretation about “LOVE”. Everybody has their own way in showing the love they have to their loved once. So just be it. These things just make the love stories in the world more beautiful. What u think suits u, take the good side of it but if u think don’t, just let them with their own ways. The most important thing is, the happiness and I believe all lovers in the world would want a happy relationship regardless of the manner they being loved. Peace.
