Valentines Day.

[Janet]

I don't like Valentine's Day very much or our anniversary. I'm not big on the romance department. Isn't that awful???? I always try to find some way to get out of buying a gift and even for hubby not to buy me anything. We just bought new cell phones so that is our Valentine present to each other. There are not many cards that aren't too mushy. I just don't feel that way. I would rather have a card that says I love you, but not goo goo ga ga. I've looked for more simple cards, but can never find any.

probably sex...That is what he will want. It's free, don't have to shop for it, and it's such a loving way to show him all my affection for him.

What do I want? Diamonds! LOL

HAHAHAHA! Nice!
Yeah Janet, it's hard to find cards that aren't all *mush*.

And yes, sex is free!!

I do not like the way my post sounded.... It's not that I don't love my husband, I do, but it's different now. We've had a rough 32 years, not all of it, but a lot. I just don't like all the mushy stuff that would make him think of S....E.....X...!!! I wish I could get over it, but I do most everything around here. After 32 years...it's just another job that I hate and another mess to clean up.

Please don't think I'm awful...unless one lived in my marriage, no one would have any idea how I feel. Yes, I've done counceling, like I always suggest, but it has to be a two way street. I can only help myself.

Janet its okay to feel that way, to be honest I to will be married 25 yrs. we have had our ups and downs like everyone else. We did the councel thing to.. I don't care for mushy cards to, and its ok to feel that way. My husband on V day usually buys me candy and flowers, I in turn buy him chocolate that he likes.

Janet,
Only you know what it's like to be living in your shoes through your marriage, and no one is judging you. I can understand the sex thing, (with an X) it was just another chore that I dreaded...but everyone has their own thoughts on Valentines day and as Rebecca mentioned, it's totally a Hallmark day, and another 'holiday' (if you want to call it that) where stores can rope you in to buy more stuff! It's okay not to be a big fan of...really anything you don't want to be a fan of! You can enjoy your yorkies!!! And, you can spend the day/evening however you want to!!

By BF isn't working on Valentines day!!! He was supposed to work night shift on Vday but he took someone else's shift, and has it off now!!! It was going to be a surprise, but I finally figured it out today, I hadn't put two and two together, but I'm really happy cause this will be our first Vday! It'll be low key, cause I'm BROKE, and currently unemployed! Just wanted to share!
