Who else is spending Valentines Day ALONE?

[dopeys biggest fan]

We don't do Valentine's Day at our house. So I'm skipping it this year right along with ya!

I will be alone.....I have a BF but we don't usually see each other on Tues....

I might as well be spending it alone. Chris has class that night and I have rehearsal until 9:30.

I have to work tomorrow night. My boss asked if I was available. I kind of wondered how did he know to ask me? Anyway, when I'm not in a relationship, I think of Valentine's Day as something Hallmark & chocolate companies made up just to sell cards & chocolate. But when I'm in a relationship, you darn well better believe I expect one of those Hallmark cards!

Well, I have my dh but he's away so I am alone for Valentines day. He left this morning and won't be home until Saturday. I missed him the minute he walked out the door.

I do not celebrate holidays...period! Much easier to go on as usual. No birthdays either.

OK ~ So here we are...Alone together.

I went out and bought myself some new perfume last night. That should help me get through the day ~ at least I'll smell good.

Not alone... but not w/ my DH Have my 2 DS w/ me and DH is leaving for WDW as we speak. Granted it's for a conference, but it's still Disney.

Actualy there is something worse than spending Valentine's Day alone; spending it with someone who doesn't care and never will.

After a marriage that ended badly in 1990, I raised my two sons (who will always be my sweethearts no matter how grown up they are) alone. I still get that alone feeling sometimes, but then I remember I don't have to answer to anyone either. After the abuse I suffered in a bad marriage, I can honestly say there are worse things than being alone on Valentine's Day or any other day. And now that they're grown, for the past 3 years my sons have given me roses on Valentine's Day. So I'm alone, but I know I'm loved.

GREAT post!! I have a similar story--except I only have one DS10. My marriage was awful--thank God DS was only 18 months when I left my marriage. You're so right. . . .there are worse things and I need to be thankful for what I do have: a beautiful 10 year old, my own house (my castle), my physical and emotional health. Staying with him, I would have had none of these things. Thanks for the post and making me realize what I DO have to be thankful for!!

Me This is my first V-day as a married man and my wife has a rehearsal this evening. So, therefore I'll be spending it with my other "girlfriend," Breaker, my Black Lab.

My DH left this morning fro Tampa. But I am leaving him Sunday for WDW, so I guess that means I win anyway.

You're so very welcome, joshsmom. Sometimes it helps to put things in perspective. When I read your earlier post it sure sounded like you are experiencing what I have already been through so I was hoping you would read my post. I'm sure that when he gets a little older he will appreciate all the things you've done to raise him into a loving and responsible man. Have a wonderful day with the (young) man that means the most to you!!!

Hey, how about a board dedicated to single parents?!?!?

How bout this guy?

Can you find one that's sobbing and shoving chocolate into its face at the same time? That's tomorrow when the chocolate is 1/2 price.
