Significant Dates With Stefan And Caroline As I Can Remember
2014
End of May - based on what I overheard, Stefan stops affair with Caroline.
June 22nd - 22nd Birthday and Engagement to Stefan. Caroline cried. I thought they were tears of joy. Bonnie did cry tears of joy.
November 1st - Stefan's 22nd Birthday. We all went to the lake house. During that time, Caroline and Stefan went to town to buy groceries. Thinking back, they said they ran out of gas and had to walk to town to get a gas can to get the car to town. Did they run out of gas, or were they delayed while she gave him birthday sex? I remember being upset that he was gone for a few hours on his birthday, and we didn't get to spend it together as an engaged couple.
2015
June 22nd - My 23rd birthday. I don't remember what we did.
November 1st - Stefan's 23rd birthday party in Vegas.
2016
June 22nd - 24th birthday party. It was low-key that year since we had the wedding coming up.
August 15 through August 22nd - Vegas Bridal Party. Caroline got very drunk and cried about how jealous she was that I found "such a great man." Caroline left two days early because she said she wasn't feeling well, and the Vegas heat wasn't good for her. Did she go back to Mystic Falls to be with Stefan?
September 10th*—Wedding Date, Honeymoon in Rome. I got sick the second day, and Stefan went out on the third day and left me alone in the hotel room so we didn't both "lose out" on a good time.
November 1st - Stefan's 24th Birthday party in Vegas. He said he was jealous he didn't get to go last time. Caroline loved Vegas. Twice, they both took off together to gamble. Did they sneak off to have sex?
2017
June 22nd - I don't remember what we did for my birthday.
September 10 - 1st anniversary, a weekend getaway to the lake house.
November 1st - Atlanta birthday party for Stefan.
In early December 2017, Caroline started dating someone she picked up at a club. Stefan hated him. I thought it was because he didn't trust some random guy around us all. Was he jealous?
2018 through…. I don't remember much in detail.
2021
September 10th—our 5th anniversary in the Cancun. When we came home from our trip, Bonnie told me Caroline had been acting weird and hooking up with a bunch of men. I asked Caroline about how she was, and we had a huge fight. I still don't know why —maybe.
2023
June 22nd - I went to the lake house for my birthday.
September 10th (Tuesday) was our 7th anniversary. We went to dinner to celebrate. When we got home, Stefan was tired and went straight to bed.
November 1st (Wednesday): Stefan ended up having to work late on his birthday, so I canceled our dinner reservations. When he got home, we didn't have birthday sex. Had he actually been with Caroline that night?
November 3rd - we went out to dinner for his birthday.
2024 -
This whole last year, our marriage has been perfect in public but cold and distant in private. I asked Stefan to see a marriage counselor with me in November, but he said I was being ridiculous and that we were okay.
Now I know the truth. He wanted out of our marriage, so why work on it?
The first Vampire Diaries episode aired on Thursday, September 10th, 2009. To make September 10th (their anniversary) an actual Saturday, I had them have a two-year engagement.
