Another Valentine's Day ruined

[WarHorse]

Am I the only guy out there that consistently screws up on Valentine's Day? After 15 years of marriage you'd think that my wife would realize I'm not a romantic (in fact I don't have a romantic bone in my body, but it's not for lack of trying) and would set her expectations a little more realistically. One of these days I'm gonna remember to set something up. Unfortunately, in my house there's no "A" for effort. Hope you all had some better luck than I did.

Hey, you have somebody to celebrate the day with. You're way ahead of me :thumbsup:

Will you be my valentine?

All joking aside though, get your wife a few nice cigars. Grab a couple Padron Anni Maduro's and she will love you forever. I think...?

i hear ya brotha...we just gotta keep our heads up and keep tryin.

Think of some romantic ideas. Put them in an alarm on your phone to go off next Vday (or other important date of romantic significance) and you'll remember to do something good. But I agree, at least you got somebody to spend the day with!

This holiday sucks. I hate it! I will never again put any effort into it after what i got today. Planters fucking peanuts. I have had it. never again will i even spend the money on a card. I will however have st. valintines day massiare parties.

If you aint cheatin you aint trying! No I don't mean cheatin on your wife. I mean...since you already know you dont have the romantic bone, pick up a GQ magazine or something and just steal their ideas. May not be original but she won't be let down. Oh, and put your own spin on it!

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

....even a well thought out card would have gone over good my friend!

 

[SuperKrishna]

Ted, did you tell her that you were going to Outlaw for a while and would grab pizza on your way home, even though it's valentine's day and you should be really bringing chocolates, roses and KY Warming Gel and not smell like an ashtray?

 

[jjon90]

What did you do for her when you were dating??

 

[TravelingJ]

Damn Ted, that sucks for you! You need to enlist one of the kiddo's to help you out on this one next year.

For us, after all these years of being together 24X7, we have given up on most of these holidays. Now they are just excuses to do things we already plan on doing. Valentines day this year was her getting a purse she was going to buy anyways, and the big dinner is just one we were already discussing. Of course, we'll do it all at a date that's more convenient for us anyways.

That's why it's called V-Day and not P-Day. It ain't for us bro.

 

[unfairtoast]

get her a card and flowers because she is expecting them.

Romance is defined as:

"fanciful; impractical; unrealistic"


bring her flowers some random time in next month to be spontaneous

 

[Jwrussell]

I got to ask. What did you do?

 

[danthebugman]

I hear ya. Don't get me wrong...I'm romantic in my own way, but it's not shelling out $100 for roses and jewelery kind of romantic. I'm more of a realistic person and those $100 roses are going to die in a week, then what do you have to show for 'em?

Ted, did you tell her that you were going to Outlaw for a while and would grab pizza on your way home, even though it's valentine's day and you should be really bringing chocolates, roses and KY Warming Gel and not smell like an ashtray?

:laugh: Uhm, that's where I'd be if I could've been. Instead I made dinner and the wife got boozed up and passed out on the couch.

My wife and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, or exchange gifts on birthdays/holidays/anniversaries. It's great, and we have a happy, healthy marriage.

Similar...no cards...what we do is go with each other and buy our own stuff. I pick out my cigars, and she picks out her purses, etc.
Or go on a trip for anniversary, that's our gift and it works well for us.
