Coming up on 25 years. I always thought things would be different at this point but the reality is that we are in a difficult marriage and working on making it better. I really do not want any celebration of notable scale for this anniversary, I am afraid to go away with her alone (this can get ugly real fast), don't want to let the kids know things are not good and still do not want to pretend that this milestone is not happening. If any of you have been in this or similar situation, please share how you got through this and what you did to mark the occasion. Thanks.
I am sorry for the difficult time you are having with your marriage. You say you don't want any type of celebration for your anniversary, what does your wife want? This is about the two of you and quite possibly she wants to do something to celebrate.
How about a spiritual celebration of some sort. You have honored God by sticking it out through the tough times. I don't know exactly what that would be but maybe someone else will have some ideas.
Try to get some indea as to what your wife would like to do. Like the poster said above, what does your wife want? After all she is a real part of this anniversary, even if things are not doing so well at this time. It seems like going away for a day or two is out of the question. So I guess the best thing to do is to just stay in town, have a nice quite dinner perhaps with the kids, and relax as much as you can.
