Am I The Only One Who Remembers?

The Story

I was with a boy for almost 8 months, we broke up before 4. This week we would have an anniversary, our first. I was a little sad when I remembered. I even mentally scolded him for simply not listening to me for some things, for not making compromises, for simply refusing to develop our relationship and overcome the problems. I remembered with nostalgia for the boy he was in the beginning, not for what he had become. I just said to myself, look how time has turned, and if he had given in to some things, we would have been together for a year now. And before with other boyfriends on the dates of our annuals I remembered with nostalgia and a certain anger that we were just young, stupid, or too stubborn to change something. My question is, is it normal to remember, and am I the only one who takes stock? Does the other side have a similar thought, or is it just me? Is it normal to associate a date with a specific person, even though you know you haven't been to each other for one reason or another?
