I feel very jipped.

Stop saying this.

DH was gone for almost ten days and during v-day. He came back and repeatedly told me how tired he was and just wanted to stay at home. Then made plans to play tennis with his friend and went shopping for himself afterwards.

Seeing that there was still no romance in the air, I decided to make dinner with little parsly heart shaped butters. He ate. Seemed like just another day. At 11:55 p.m. I said Happy Valentine's Day anyway. He has always treated me so well before, I wasn't ready for this. Kind of brutal way to stop celebrating.

Oh wow, what an a-hole move. Sorry, PP.

What would you have wanted instead? was the issue the quality if the flowers? What did you do for him?

Simple just some carnations would have been nice. They last a longer,luv them but they did not have any at Costco for Valentines day. Roses would have been good but they are double the price of the mix of flowers. Or how about just this: flowers that are actually alive and not dead. How would you like to receive a bouquet of flowers of which a quarter of them are withered and dry? Costco sells these bouquets like this all the time. Then the husband comes home and presents what looks like nice flowers and once u remove the plastic discover oh at least a quarter of them are dead upon closer inspection. Yes, the issue was definitely the quality of the flowers. Look at me the recipient worried about the cost when other men spend over a $100 for a floral arrangement from a real flower shop then you are guaranteed beautiful flowers. What did I do for him - I cooked a dish he really likes for dinner - Alfredo fettucine. Now that Valentines Day is over - I find this whole thing completely over rated, stupid and pretentious. I am kind of done and over it. I don't want to celebrate this dumbness. All I end up is feeling jipped and bad for myself and angry towards my husband of 30 years. I have to ask why do other women have partners that are willing to spend so much on them?? Being cheap and saving money comes into play. I am an avid gardner and know my flowers. Flowers are especially important to me and knowing what kind of flowers I like would be important to know. Don't u think?
Again, I am done with this. But it shows to me where I am on the grande scheme of things compared to other women. All in all I feel very jipped.

Yes. Mine always buys the cheapest flowers and thinks he is being so cute with it being “our flower.” It’s not cute, it makes me sad every time and knows it. Buy real flowers.

It sucks doen't it?

Oh, the pain!!! Mine is on 25 December. STFU.

Your reply doesn't make sense.

The post you quoted responded to a woman complaining that her DH's birthday was Valentine's Day, ensuring he received attention. If your birthday is on a major holiday (e.g., Christmas), people cannot focus on it. It is the way it is. In other words, if you think having a birthday on Valentine's Day, think how much harder it would be to have a birthday on a real holiday.

Try for some empathic awareness, and think. If your spouse's birthday occurs on a major holiday, be an adult and do not complain about it.

It’s was Lent so we fasted together and held hands.

Huh?

Maybe she is a nun.

I’m sorry, PP. That does stink. Will you say something to him?

Mine. He had a business lunch and I had put a large heart box with chocolats on his desk at home for his arrival. He thanked me. He ate them. The entire afternoon went by.

So spoiled that you're still worried about what your ex is doing. For validation and dragging your kids into your nonsense

And neither you nor your kids know if he didn't do anything.

Exactly. Maybe he had really expensive jewelry waiting for the new girlfriend in bed, and the kids don't know about it. Desperation and jealousy is rolling off that PP, whether she got "spoiled" or not.
