We've been talking about all of the fun things we want to do to celebrate, and he's been hyping it up so much because he knows it's my first relationship. It's so sweet! So, here's my issue: my best friend just told me she has an extra ticket for the Taylor Swift concert on the night of our anniversary. I've been a Swiftie my entire life and wasn't able to get tickets and was devastated. I don't know what to do! I don't want to bail on my first-ever anniversary, but I have never been able to see Taylor Swift in concert either. How do I make a decision? Hannah: Go to the concert. As [a huge Swiftie]( myself, I know all too well (sorry!) the pain of not getting tickets. It sucked, but now you have another chance [to see the Eras Tour]( and I think you need to take it. I mean, imagine if you skip and later find out [the surprise song was “Getaway Car”?]( Celebrating love with your first-ever boyfriend isn’t something you want to miss. But the great thing about anniversaries is they come every year — and you get to decide when you celebrate. So, let’s get logistical: If you wake up at 8 a.m., that gives you most of the day to celebrate your relationship before the concert starts at 6:30 p.m. Why not have an anniversary brunch? [Or a day at the park]( Yes, it won’t be the same as a fancy dinner reservation, but those can be stuffy anyway. Plus, dinner’s always there tomorrow. Taylor isn’t. Of course, if you decide to go to the concert (please do!), [you need to have a conversation]( with your boyfriend. Make it clear that you love him and are thrilled to be celebrating a year together, but can’t pass up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see your favorite artist. Come with suggestions for other ways to celebrate, so he’ll know it’s not a lack of caring that’s fueling your decision. And leave room for his feelings to be a little hurt — though he shouldn’t take them out on you. Sarah: I'm sorry to hear the concert falls on the night of your anniversary, but I still think you can make both things work. Has your boyfriend mentioned any concrete anniversary plans? If not, you’ve been together for a year, so I’m sure he knows by now how much you love Taylor. I really think he’d understand this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see [her in concert with your friend]( especially after you couldn’t snag tickets the first time around. Anniversaries are more about the meaning behind them than the exact calendar date. You and your BF can celebrate one year together after one year and one week, and it will [still be just as special](. If he’s really hung up on the date and you feel bad about changing plans, you can always plan a little surprise earlier that day to let him know you’re thinking of him. [If he *has* made reservations]( for something that can’t be moved, I hate to say this, but you may have to sacrifice the Taylor ticket to honor that prior commitment. I still think you’re totally within your right to bring up this dilemma with him, and maybe you two can work together to come up with an alternate plan. Either way, your best bet is to approach this convo with kindness and respect, and to figure out a way to make your anniversary just as special regardless.

[Submit your question]( DADDY ALERT ['The O.C.'s Sandy Cohen Is The Original Daddy]( From his eyebrows to his dad jokes, Sandy was [everything a daddy should be]( — and he knew it. The internet’s favorite daddies all have some things in common: They’re a little older, a little stern, and a lot reliable. From 2003 to 2007, Sandy was the embodiment of daddy — predating the daddy-fication of [Pedro Pascal]( David Harbour, and Idris Elba. Besides the fact that he was a legitimate dad to [Seth Cohen]( (and stand-in dad for Ryan Atwood), public defender Sandy always brought the I’ll-take-care-of-you energy that is as rare as it is attractive.
