Yea, this is easy. Once he has the reservation set up, text her before leaving work and tell her exactly what you want her to wear (a favorite dress, jewelry, whatever) and give her an eta on when you'll be home. Go into as much detail as you can to show you thought about it. Pick her up, tell her nothing, get to restaurant, happy anniversary.
This isn't a difficult fix at all.

Maybe your wife forgot too. Call her and tell her you've been waiting on her to say it first and can't believe she has waited this long. Then go home tonight and PIIHB.
Women never forget these types of things. This is more of a test to the OP. Trust me and right now he's failing but has a chance to pull it out.

For frick's sake, dude. Stop on the way home get some flowers and a bottle of wine or whatever, tell her Happy Anniversary and ask her what she wants to do tonight.
If people spent as much time, you know, WRITING shite DOWN as they did making up reasons for fricking up, we wouldn't frick up nearly as much.

PS - has your slut wife said anything about the anniversary or is she waiting like a coiled snake?
She's more of the coiled snake type. I texted her telling her I feel like a jackass and that I'm sorry. I can't not avoid detection from her BS radar.

Seven years of marriage and still making rookie mistakes. I dk how much longer youre going to survive this one.

I'd come clean and then maybe accuse her of forgetting also since she said nothing this morning. If she's the type that has been testing you all day long then you're screwed. Come clean is only viable answer and it works.
Or do I play it off like I had something planned for later this evening?

everything you do for her from here on out will be rendered as fruitless. might as well tell her you're stopping at a bar on way home for drinks.

If he really gets in a bind on the not mentioning it, he should come clean on a lesser failure.
"I procrastinated on ordering you something, and I didn't have it until today (or whenever if not here yet). I was hoping it would get here this afternoon."
"I was waiting to see if we could get into (some restaurant she really wants to go to), I thought you'd ask me what we were doing."
etc.

You gave up too early. Could have easily pulled this thing off.

This comes as a shock to me also. What's it like having a good/sane mother-in-law?

He could have easily pulled it off in theory, but if he gave up this quickly she'd be able to read it on him.

I didn't do myself any favors by jokingly asking her to send me some nudz about an hour ago.

Before you take the brunt of it, lets see if she had a gift prepared for you and when she bought it etc. If she comes with anything other than a store bought gift (like she gives you a massage and cooks dinner, etc) then she probably forgot too. Find that receipt before you accept full blame for ruining the day.

Sounds like a perfect setup for an anniversary "you thought I forgot" surprise.
What a waste.
