Of course that's gonna suck - no question about it. Still, you should have been happy that a-hole was out of your life. Cripes I would have celebrated. Your not the big loser in that equation, he is! What goes around comes around and he will get his just deseerts somwhere down the road. I dunno, maybe it's just me and the way I try to look at life.

Hey Eastern Girl - I say we wallow in self-pity together. Who needs men anyway, right? I'll bring the chocolate, you bring the sappy movies. And we'll spend Valentines day together...in a totally hetero way of course....fantasizing about 'you know who'

We had a stack of pictures sitting on top of our wedding album just "waiting" to be put together. Saturday I got tired of staring at the this bloody stack so I assembled our wedding album. Anybody think that I can use this one as her valentine's day present?

I didn't think so

Maybe I'll just go with flowers and still throw the scale in and tell her the stupid idea I had at the same time. She'll most likely laugh I think.

I'm reading this thread wondering...if she had gotten you the scale for VDay, would you have bene offended? Would most guys get offended at a gift like a scale? My husband is a workoutaholic, and I actually thought about getting him one, but wasn't sure if he would frown at getting it for him for VDay.....

Yes absolutely. Women like things that are sentimental and took time to put together. It's very thoughtful..she'll think its sweet.

I don't think most guys expect a present for Valentine's Day-it's just an occasion when we have to "do our duty" for our wives/girlfriends. So no, I don't think your husband will be offended. If it's a digital scale with that reads fat percentage, he'll love it-we all love gadgets.

socalwingfan · 02-14-2007, 02:20 PM

Been married 10 years - we're going to see Hannibal Rising tonight. We haven't celebrated V-Day in probably 8 years.

Tron_fdc · 02-14-2007, 02:23 PM

I'm going to get raped at some expensive local eatery tonight, because I refuse to get gouged on flowers. Can't wait for the expensive wine bill, for something they likely poured out of a box.

She did mention once that her best vday gift I gave her was a cactus....it lasted a long time, needed little to no maintenance, and was a cool conversation piece. She thought I put a lot of thought into that one.

Little did she know the store was out of flowers and that's all they had left

It was last Sunday. Here's a convo with my husband. Let's call him Al.
Al:, "what do you want to do for V Day?".
Me: "I was like I dunno, we can go to a movie, out to eat, whatever you want. Let me know what you decide."
Al: He's like, "why do I have to choose?
Me: Because the man is supposed to be in charge of VDay. Everyone knows that.
Al: Um, this is the 2000's, not 1975. Why don't you make plans for a change?

So I did. I made dinner reservations and Ill pay for it. So maybe women should do something nice for their guys too...

Nice! I've got my Valentine's Day 2008 taken care of thanks to you.

Slava · 02-14-2007, 02:33 PM

I might be out of luck with the scale, but I bet I can still get a cheap cactus!!!

Tron_fdc · 02-14-2007, 02:38 PM

The hilarious part about it was I played it up like I passed over all the beautiful flowers for something that was thought out, and from the heart. I knew she couldn't keep plants alive, so when I saw this tiny cactus that was left I thought "perfect! easy on the wallet and won't die right away! She'll never know I'm an insensitive clod!"

She still managed to kill it after a few months though.

What a waste of a perfectly good ticket.

(.....goes back to nursing broken heart)

What a dickhead. If I was in that situation, knowing I was going to break up with the person, I wouldn't really have the heart to take the ticket.

Anyways, I'll be spending my night drinking beer and playing video games in my mom's basement. Maybe I'll spray on some Axe and complete the trifecta.

damn, what an insensitive arse.

trust me, you want to leave that kind of guy anyway. a girl like you (giving game tickets to the guy) deserves much better!
and hey, now you can enjoy freedom a little bit, eh?

Ain't nothin' wrong with that. /gonna do the same, sans the Axe.

Also, sucks to hear about your bone head of a boyfriend, Cal-Girl. What a dink.
