Friend thinks she's "congratulating" me

[Sharnita]

"It's kind of like still congratulating somebody on their junior high graduation when they have moved on to college."

I'm a little weirded out that someone who wasn't in the relationship is not just remembering the anniversary date years later but is reminding someone else about it.

Me too, I don't know anyone's anniversary. Even the still-married ones; that is for the couple to remember, and perhaps their kids.

Me three.  That is just beyond weird.  I am not even sure of my OWN divorce date exactly, within a few days... I know it's in the beginning of September.  For someone else to know it, remember it, and remind you of it?  Maybe an even more forceful reminder to her that you don't care for it to be noted again.

She's probably got it in some sort of automatic calendar.

That's why I'd go with the "huh? What's that from?" question, and then you can a perfect opportunity to say, "Would you please take that out of your calendar? *I* don't even worry about it anymore, and I find it a little annoying to be reminded of it."
