We got a box of Merci chocolate from our Financial Advisor. So unexpected and not really bad. But that was about it.
Do you think the two are mutually exclusive?We've been married for 45 years. We've never bought gifts or celebrated with a dinner out. It's daily life that shows true love and not one special day set aside to remind people to buy gifts and go out for dinner.
I wasn't speaking about myself. I am far from lonely. I was talking about other people who seem to set so much store in having someone and doing something special on this day. It puts a ton of pressure on people who are not so secure.If you are feeling lonely and the day is rough for you, you are doing that to yourself. I’m not saying you’re wrong for feeling that way, but there is no need to. It’s a made up holiday and it’s super fake.
There shouldn’t need to be a day to prompt your spouse or significant other to treat you nice. If you do, then I feel sorry for you the other 364 dats of the year (365 this year..leap year.
Ok, next in line for the soapbox can have it now lol
I'm pretty sure my husband considers himself quite lucky..that doesn't mean that in the early days he wasn't like "yeah hunny if you could not buy me more boxers I've got enough"..First, let me say I am sorry for those of you have experienced a loss on or around this day. I lost my mom just before Valentine's Day when I was 24.
That being said, I think those of you have someone to spend this day with are very lucky. There are so many who aren't as lucky. Be happy you have someone. A less than perfect dinner or event is nothing compared to the loneliness this so called holiday brings to many.
Ugh I remember agonizing when I was a kid on just what boxed cards to buyI just want to say that Valentine's Days when our sons were in school were a night mare. Making your son sit down and sign his name on a "gazillion" Valentine's day cards that ended up in the little envelopes taped to the desks at school............was a night mare!
By that logic there should never be a need to celebrate any special event or what one deems as a special event.We've been married for 45 years. We've never bought gifts or celebrated with a dinner out. It's daily life that shows true love and not one special day set aside to remind people to buy gifts and go out for dinner.
I didn’t want to love your comment but I want to show you some love I am inspired by your optimism and I do believe things will get better!I have no one to celebrate with it was a sad day
But me and my poodle had a dinner and watched old Andy Griffith shows
I keep praying and I know things will get better

That just sounds like childhood to me.I just want to say that Valentine's Days when our sons were in school were a night mare.
