Sorry the title's that long. But this is the question I've been asking myself for quite a while now:
What the hell is so special about being in a relationship for EXACTLY one year?
My "example": A former friend of mine (haven't talked to him for quite a while now ^^") has been in a relationship since the end of November 2010. I know the EXACT date just because he's got this date EVERYWHERE on his profile.
EVERY month, he or his girlfriend (who's also on the site we're both registered at) post a blog entry saying "Oooooooooooh, honey, it's been [insert number between 1 and 11] months now! I love you soooo~ much!"
Since the 6th or 7th entry, it's become a bit longer, saying "ooh, honey, I can't wait for our relationship to last for one year!!1111oneoneeleven!!".
EVERY time I ask myself: WHY??? And everytime I think about posting a comment, asking them what's that special about a relationship lasting for a year.
So, I decided to ask all of you. Maybe I'm not romantic enough for this...?!
When my boyfriend and I were together for one year, we just shrugged our shoulders and went on with everything. We didn't celebrate our relationship AT ALL. (Besides, it's only six more hours until our relationship lasts for exactly 1 year and 5 months. WHO THE HECK CARES??? I'm not even sure about that, to be honest. XD)
As I said, maybe I'm not sensitive enough for this kind of stuff. Is it that great to be in a relationship for that long? Is it some kind of aim of them? Are they just happy they sticked to each other for that long? I don't know.
(And yes, this thread MAY of course be used for funny theories about those couples who celebrate every day they still stick to each other. But maybe someone can explain to me what's so special about that...)
