Month anniversaries... is it important?

[Dziubka]

Like some people already said, it depends on the couple.
It was never a big deal between me and my boyfriend. I guess we didn't even know when our anniversary was until we were approaching one year and started to think about it.
My boyfriend once said that he thinks it's a little weird how much some couples celebrate their monthaversiers and how proud they're of them, because they make it seem like being in a relationship is a challenge they're managing and they can be proud of like "see how long we already stick through this" and for him, being in a relationship with my isn't hard at all. It's a pleasure, so he doesn't see how x months with me is an achievement of any sorts.
We did sort of celebrate our 1 year though and I'm surprise visiting him for our 2 yr this year, so it's not like we don't acknowledge it at all.

Anniversaries are important to me, be they month or year or something in between, lol...but he relies on me to keep track of them, and I do.

I found that we would take count of the months until we were together for a year but after that they were really as important as they once were

Personally I think month anniversaries, or "monthaversaries" are stupid. "Anniversary" comes from the word "anual" ie: once a year.
Technicality aside, I just feel that it's a celebration for people who don't expect the relationship to last long enough for true milestones to be celebrated.
But, each to their own

My SO and I acknowledged every monthiversary. We were apart for most of them, but when we were together we always did something special. For our one year, we even had a long weekend together. I don't know if we'll continue to say something every month, but I think it's important to celebrate those months when you're so far apart because it's something to celebrate together. It's one day of extra happiness to celebrate the fact that the two of you are together for one more month. Congrats on 10 months! I hope you have many more together.

yesterday marked 4 months for my bf and I. we just wished each other happy anniversary but that was about it. I love acknowledging it by month.

My SO and I both look forward to our monthsaries simply because it's a bit of fun to us and like the above poster said, it's nice to acknowledge the fact that you've been together for x amount of months. I guess after a year or so, the entertainment runs off a little but still

It's not that important for me and my SO. Not sure why, just not that into it I guess lol. Every couple is different anyway.
Even for anniversary, we just sort of say to each other, "We've been together for about two years, can you imagine that?" Then we would reminisce about the old days and stuff, and laugh about it all.

I wish we did celebrate month-aversaries because then it would be an excuse to party every month!

But we don't. We sometimes are like "oh we've been living together for __ months". I think it's more of a big deal to us because part of the time he was living in my country, and now I'm living in his. It's more marking how long I have been out of my home country than anything else. And we don't even really have an anniversary for when we got together. We also forgot about our 2 year "meeting" anniversary. This has become rambly, but I guess we don't really celebrate anything!

When my SO and I were CD, we celebrated every month and we still do now that we're LD for most of the year. We do it because it is special to us that we have reached another month together. We don't make a big deal out of it really. We say happy x-months when we're apart and sometimes try to Skype or talk longer on the phone. When we're together, we'll usually go out on a date if we can. I enjoy celebrating every month, and even though we've been togehter for over a year, we still do it.

It's not important to us at all. I mention when we've been together for another month just because our relationship is new, but a year anniversary is all I expect a celebration for. He's told me he's horrible at remembering so I remind him and we just say yay together and move on.

I secretely celebrate them and I think my SO does too. Our 1 year is coming up this month which feels like a really big accomplishment given the distance and all those little monthversaries have helped get us there.

In the beginning of my relationship I was much more likely to get excited about month anniversaries, but definitely not now, since we had our one-year. The only reason I ever remember how many months we've been together now is from the ticker I have in my signature haha. My SO used to humour me about the monthly anniversaries, but he always insisted our meeting anniversary was more important!

My SO and I have done something for our month anniversaries since we got together. This past one was our 10 month and our first anniversary spent LD, not just apart. Like our first month anniverssary was. I don't know exactly how it started, but we've been doing something either special with each other or for each other on the 21st of every month we've been together.

EDIT: if we could get married on the 21st that would be a dream come true. IF we get married in the year we're hoping to, Our 5 year anniverssary falls on a Saturday, if that could happen I would just die.

We have celebrated monthversarries our whole relationship, which is a lot of months. Its a really fun way, especially when we were living together, to have a date night or something. We just celebrated our 80th month and while people around us laugh, it was fun cause we look back at the third and fourth month and see where we have been. Of course we celebrate years also, but those are so far apart. We might even try to get married on the 100th month, which would be kinda fun and special. But yeah, sometimes every month dates can get expensive so we are very flexible especially now with LDR since we aren't together mostly on the actual day.
