I guess the title mostly says it all. 
We had already decided not to celebrate this phoney Hallmark holiday, but we’re taking it to an unnecessary level now, scrapping over the same damned thing that we always fight over.
Anyone else? Please share my Unhappy Valentine’s Day with me. (Oh, I think there will be chocolate today. Lots and lots of it.)
Oh, if you just hate Valentine’s Day, feel free to contribute. We can have a big ol’e Pity and Chocolate Party.
Sorry that’s happening to you.
My SO decided that last night, as were settling in bed for the night was the perfect time to raise a topic that we have discussed over and over and always causes an argument and hurt feelings. He says I should ‘have an open mind’ on the subject which to him means ‘you should just do what I want’. We’re supposed to go out to dinner tonight, so we’ll see how it goes.
Yeah, that sounds about as logical as our argument. So, chocolate all around?
We’re not really fighting, per se, but I just got off the phone with him - we can’t afford a kitchen remodeling and he’s quite huffy. We just got the quote from the contractor and it’s way over what we had planned on spending. He adores spending lots of money and getting new toys, and he was looking forward to the big rush of this acquisition. Well, we just can’t do it and now he’s going to be sulking and hurt and making veiled references to my cheapness tonight. Yay.
My GF picked today to suggest we open a joint savings account together, and seemed a bit miffed that I didn’t agree immediately. Not exactly a fight, but it felt a little uncomfortable. “What, you don’t trust me?” 
Today is also my birthday. Lots of bickering and sniping here. I wasn’t expecting anything from hubby, but a little extra effort with the baby, talking to me in a pleasant tone of voice… that would have been nice.
Valentine’s Day is a craptastic day to have a birthday. For several reasons.
WOW I’m married to your twin. I love big rushes of acquisition! My wife on the otherhand does not.
Today we are not fighting per se either, but she saw 12 roses delivered to her office today and they were for the office newly wed. She snapshotted me a picture of them and a little quote - "thought those were mine - denied "
Uhg! I think I shold stop at the flower shop now on my way home and spend the un godly $65 bucks on 12 long stem roses… It just grinds me that next week they will be back to 20 bucks a dozen!
wow, this rainy weather is getting to me. Why couldn’t we get the snow?
No SO to fight with. I’ve been single every Valentine’s day of my life (even been dumped within a couple of days of it).
I hate it because it makes me feel like I have to have someone around. For the most part I’ve grown content with being single, I have my days where I wish there was someone in my life and I get depressed for a bit then I get over it. Valentine’s day just seems custom made to rub it in (though for most of the day I managed to avoid the fact that it was v-day).
Mostly I was planning to break out the toys and a bottle of wine to get myself tipsy and ravish myself before calling it an early night (I do have to work tomorrow).
Well, we’re not fighting, but we really haven’t been too close for a while now. We’re getting more and more detached as time goes by. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the kids I would have packed it in by now.
I’m not looking for any sympathy. It’s just going to be hard for either of us to go through the motions tonight.
Yeah, but talking about will just make things worse, I’m sure.
Not fighting, because he is away at Ft. Knox until Friday. Missed my birthday last week and Valentine’s Day today. Or maybe that was the best gift of all? 
Wow, that sounds really bitchy.
I think flowers delivered at work may have been invented by the devil. Possibly. The jury’s still out. I’m planning to buy myself some very nice flowers for the house when they go on sale tomorrow. 
My wife called this morning to tell me what a bad way she was having. I started to order up some flowers to send her - then I realized it was Valentine’s Day & the likelihood of doing that approached zero. (I gave her flowers on her birthday last week, so I did not order any for Valentine’s Day delivery to start with).
Hmmm - I wonder if I get credit for good intentions?
Girlfriend? What in the world would be the logical purpose of joint account for two unmarried people? Even long term married couples often maintain separate accounts.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m as acquisitive as the next person. I love new stuff, too, but someone has to be realistic about the finances. There’s “spending a lot” and then there’s “coming dangerously close to bankrupting us.” Sometimes I get pretty tired of being the policeman and having to say “no” to over-the-top spending.
I have to agree that was not a very nice thing for her to do. Seems rather rude to just leap to the conclusion you didn’t get her anything when the day isn’t even over yet. Do you normally buy her something?
nice, really nice… :mad:
Hey featherlou send some chocolates my way!
Well, me and mine are too sick to argue about anything, but we’re certainly not having a happy V-day. We just (30 minutes ago) found out that we’re moving again. He has strep, bronchitis & a torn muscle in his side (from coughing). I have pneumonia & strep, and plan on throttling him as soon as we can breathe again.
I’m not much of a V-day fan anyway, but this year just takes the cake.
