Re: Will showing this to wifey make a difference?
Just had my 21st anniversary last week. I gave her a card when she woke up and she looked at me puzzled and said "is it this week?" I posted a nice message in FB for her to see that day. I served up a delicious steak dinner with veggies sauteed in butter.
She ate it without saying thank you, and was more interested in what was on her phone than having a conversation. Sex? Umm, not even remotely on the menu. I was just glad she went to bed early.
This was poor behavior, even for her, and I went to bed shaking my head in confusion. But I shook it off, knowing she has a lot on her plate at work right now and is under a lot of stress. I guess that's how I've stayed married so long. Lol.
Benjamin Franklin once said "Before marriage, keep your eyes wide open. After marriage, keep your eyes half closed." Pretty good advice, I'd say.

O'Ryan...kids are a blessing for sure but also add a level of complexity to what you've stated already! The cool part is that kids are very simple compared to the chick in my opinion.
Burly...that is kinda crazy cause had you not done all those things you could potentially be considered 'not caring' about your anniversary.

Love is... thinking about killing her, but deciding not to.
Sounds horrible, I know, but if you've been in a relationship long enough, you too will make that decision. Lol

Its pretty common for women to work toward getting the ring on their finger, but their not always so good at doing those things once the ring is on. But to be fair, the same thing often happens with guys.
Best thing I have going for me is my wife and I are good friends, and someone worth "doing life" with. So while I call her on some stuff, I let other stuff roll off my shoulder, because that's what a good friend does. That foundation has gotten us through some pretty rough times. At year 6, I wasn't sure we'd make it. 7 year itch came a year early and needed scratching.
