I feel like an idiot- who celebrates 6 month anniversaries? I'm beating myself up now because I feel like this shouldn't be bothering me at all, 6 months is such an insignificant amount of time in a relationship, it's no milestone. How do I over feeling like he failed me?

Definitely not an insignificant amount of time at all but at the same time, not necessarily a time frame everyone celebrates. I know I don't.
best way to get someone to acknowledge things that are valued by you, such as holidays and celebrations like anniversaries is to celebrate them yourself and show them! Instead of expecting the other person to inherently know this, just do something for them and when they ask why, just matter-of-fact tell them that you find the 6 month semi-versary (anniversary means yearly) important and thought you'd show them how much they mean to you by celebrating it.
Just my thoughts!
