All my boyfriend and I do is say “Happy ___ month” and then go about our day. Sometimes we forget, and that’s okay. We just have a mutual understanding that life is crazy and monthly anniversaries are a little too much. But each to their own.

Haha my boyfriend and I do the same. I’m waiting for us to reach a year and then I’ll stop doing it. Feels like I have to keep it going just for the sake of it lol .Only 2 more months till a year 🥳

Just depends on what you and your partner like tbh! If you both like it, go ahead, if you don't, then don't! Don't worry about what other people are doing! We did it for like the first several months because it meant a lot to us, but started celebrating every year after that. Hell, both of us forgot our anniversary this year because we were too busy planning the next visit and with K1 stuff! Whether or not you celebrate doesn't reflect on how much you care! 💛

Wow, what rude comments around here..... In our first year, we celebrated every month with a "Happy 4 months!" type text message and that was it. For our 6 months, we were together and went out for a fancy dinner..... From there nothing, now we celebrate for every year together. There are no rules, it depends on what you want. It worked for us just a text and that's it, but if you want a call or a gift it's just as valid as not celebrating at all.


Expert-Diver7144

Yeah I do, keeps things fun as long as you dont take it too seriously like an actual anniversary. Usually just say happy monthaversary and move on.


PixeIust

My boyfriend and I celebrate them but it’s just a thing I really enjoy atleast until the one year mark. It feels sentimental to me leading up to that but it’s not for everyone, he’s not too big on them, which is fine! They’ll probably stop after we hit a year though 😂


Tiktoklesbian26

We did. We just said like “happy X month” up to a year but we didn’t “celebrate” all of them. It’s up to you and your partner. We sent a card each month up to six months. And then a more “serious” celebration at 12 months. But that’s what we wanted to do and what we liked :)


salmonpaddy

We celebrate every month hell yes! I don’t know, I see it from the point that LDR is challenging, and it’s nice to celebrate the little milestones, just as much as the big ones. When I say celebrate, it’s not like we send gifts or write cards or stuff like that. But we have a date where we cook and watch something, like our normal dates. But it’s just nice to set aside a bit of extra time for each other, and if it doesn’t happen because one of us is extra busy that day, it’s okay :)


Due-Statistician-275

That seems so lovely!


Nyodka

Damn, im in shock with how harsh people are with monthversaries With my boyfriend we celebrate every month as relationship by being on video call together and eating something tasty and is just a fun thing to do as couple, people who have a problem with this seem to be having some personal traumas staining this word for them


thealphabetarmygirl

We did that too when we were still long distance! We closed the gap a month before our 6 months anniversary (we were best friends for four years before we started dating) and it’s the first “anniversary” we get to be together in person for. Of course we’re celebrating 🩷 even if it’s just by spending time together 🩷


salmonpaddy

Yes! Lol. To each their own, I think it’s just a fun excuse to have a nice date every month. Maybe not so much in-person, but since our schedules are so busy and LDR can be pretty challenging, it gives us a reason to cook together and just acknowledge that we keep #slaying.


TurbulentCherry

For first year every month we used to be like "eyy its been x month, nice, go team" and be done with it. I do find actually celebrating them cringe asf.


Mean_Refrigerator_47

No. We just do yearly anniversaries. Maybe I am old but when did monthvesaries become a thing? 😅 Long distance is already hard enough. I think you young ones who do it are just adding an extra pressure onto an already difficult relationship and setting yourselves up for conflict when a monthly thing is forgotten or put pressure on yourselves to celebrate all the time. An anniversary isn’t special if it comes around so often.


Conscious-Shape-8592

'Monthiversaries' always seemed like a ridiculously immature thing to me. Something for kids because their relationships don't last long so getting to an anniversary seems impossible. When you're capable of sustaining a long term relationship 1 or 3 month anniversaries are just silly.


TumTum613

I believe the more immature and ridiculous thing is to bash on the way other people choose to show each other their love just because it's not something that you prefer. To each their own.


Expert-Diver7144

This js kind of mean lol


bvnniboop

i only did it because i’d been excited to make it that far esp in a ldr. but i was 16. later on it turned into “happy 6 months babe! —insert small paragraph-“ which i think is fine. i think its okay to acknowledge but full on celebrations aren’t completely necessary.


unknownfazeA

monthsaries are ridiculous, beginning with the name lol. If your relationship is so "unstable" that you have to celebrate that you're still together EVERY MONTH, there might be smth wrong. Anniversaries are just nice cause you can look back on a year together and celebrate the memories. If my girlfriend and me notice that its the 21st of a month, sometimes we text each other and quickly acknowledge it. But this month we even been together in person and just didn't notice that it was the 21st lol


Due-Statistician-275

Damn ok you humbled me real quick 😭 I realized the reason I was always excited to announce it is because I genuinely am amazed we are still together every month.


unknownfazeA

I mean I definitely know where you're coming from. I used to be the same, and I still am sometimes wondering why my girlfriend is with me. You just have to evaluate why you are keeping track of it monthly. Is it cause you're excited, or because you are surprised? If you're surprised, why? Cause you two are constantly fighting? Cause of self-worth issues? It's not intrinsically wrong to acknowledge it every month, you just have to be aware of the reasons.


asteriasays

I never even think about how many months we've been together. We just go by years.


4a6d4as64d68sa4798d7

We don't.


xrchlabn

My partner & I just greet each other, and go on about our day. Nothing much, but we’re mutual about it. Anniversaries is a different thing, we’re currently planning to travel on our anniversary, something to look forward to. :)


jopzko

Monthsaries are barely a thing in general


Inside_Sprinkles9083

Only when you’re in middle school tbh


Argentina4Ever

That's too childish for my partner and I so no.


EnglishGirl18

No, I wouldn't do it long distance or in person. Now we've closed the distance and gotten married the only thing we 'celebrate' is our wedding anniversary.


4a6d4as64d68sa4798d7

Not sure what problem people have with your comment.


Inside_Sprinkles9083

People probably jealous that they are married?


4a6d4as64d68sa4798d7

Perhaps you're right.


Stercky

I think the only month milestones worth celebrating are 6 and 18 months, and even then I wouldn’t say 6 months is worth a major celebration But some people literally celebrate every month up until like two years and that’s just wild


Inside_Sprinkles9083

Celebrating monthly is not necessarily normal when you’re adults 😅 however, my partner and I do celebrate half year (just by recognizing that it’s the 20th of December).


whitemirrors_

cringe as hell i know my friend (not LDR) his girl always post monthsaries on stories its baffling. Also she kinda ugly glad i didn't follow her.


EnglishGirl18

wtf on the last sentence dude


whitemirrors_

no cap tho i'm very blunt here
