I had to work Valentine’s morning, figured I’d pick up flowers on the way home. Candy for me was on the kitchen table when I woke up and the wife was crying because I “forgot” Valentine’s Day again…
How to avoid this:
Communicate at all with your wife. Explain, before the day, that you will have to work in the morning. Ask if she’d like to wake up super early with you or if it would be preferable to celebrate with eachother once you get home from work.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t try any of this, and we never communicate at all! Thanks for the fucking insight.
How in fucks name would your wife think you forgot valentines day if you communicated about the exact circumstances that would happen? You’re welcome for the insight, stranger!
Because she enjoys being upset
Nobody enjoys being upset, you just hate your wife.
Yep, you got me dead to rights, completely understood my 12 year relationship over the course of a few comments on the Internet.
Frankly it sounds like both of them need therapy but its pretty telling how you just assume he’s the problem as if she’s perfectly normal
You’re the one sharing your intimacy without anyone asking on a public space. Take the unrequired advice from the public.
My lovely wife and I have been together for decades. No Valentine’s day gifts. No surprise Christmas gifts.
Valentine’s day morning, she wakes up and it was tense.
I jokingly said I was making her Valentine’s day breakfast, which is just regular breakfast but the toast was a heart shape. She seemed pretty satisfied.
Then I suggested we go to the supermarket. She picked out flowers and we bought us candy.
Im 90% confident she was just playing a prank. But I’m worried I started a real Valentine’s day routine. 😭
Me giving my wife flowers (as a joke), and then making her breakfast (as a joke). Lululullulu gotem
The first time my wife and I celebrated valentines was 2015. We had been married 14 years, and only celebrated it at my mother’s urging.
We decided to drive to a semi resort town for different restaurant options. Everything was horrible, the food, the service, even trying to pay the bill. Over the next 10 years we did at least a little something for the day. This year she asked if we were doing anything and I said, “please, no.” She laughed and said she was relieved. Yesterday I did go to the grocery store in town to get cheap markdown candy for her, but the only thing they had were those pepto dismal hearts.
Honestly going out on VD is the worst. It’s busy af everywhere, staff are exhausted dealing with the surge, everyone working wants you to spend a lot more than you do, everyone is either on edge or sad, you’ll probably be disturbed by some grand sweeping gesture…
Ick. The weekend before or after are much better. Or literally any other time. Go for romantic dates on other holidays when everyone else tends to be out of town, not the day when everyone else is trying to do the same thing.
This year I decided to throw a party on Vday, since going out that day with my partner always ends up being an expensive letdown. I thought most of my friends wouldnt show up figuring they would want to do something romantic with their SOs… I was wrong. Everyone agreed traditional Vday plans suck, so all of the couples I invited showed up and we had a full house. We had fun snacks that people baked, we played some fun games, and mostly we just had a good time. I might turn it into an annual tradition!
