It’s just another day for me.
Aww come on OCM, ya humbug…
*happy dance round the room* My flowers got here - 12 long stemmed roses in a pretty glass vase AND a teddy bear…
Squee.. Happy Valentines Day *dances off to make sure her cat Rocky doesn’t eat the roses*
No apologies needed, they’re great.
And now for something tasteful.
My wife tells me that the girls in Love Comix always say, “I ..I..I..”

Severa: I paid $70 for a dozen red longstemmed roses, delivered. The men in Ruth’s office called me a bad example.

Mike and I went out yesterday-he has to work tonight.
I got him and the BOY cards.
I chose not to buy myself flowers.
No, I didn’t get candy or a card-but I’ve got a great guy who loves me.
That’s enough.

In Japan, the woman has to buy the man the chocolates

and the ladies aren’t so happy about this. No sake tonight…
What would Valentines Day be without sex? Don’t buy her flowers/candy and find out.
Candy is dandy

Up your &@$* and down your spine
won’t you be my valentine.
We try to remind each other every day how much we love each other. Why just do that once a year?

Mark this day in history. I agree with OCM on something.
Oink: No sex today? Just like any other day....
Piss on the whole enterprise.
Probably just watch NCIS with the boyfriend. We’re both broke.
"with boyfriend”—another female identified!
I hope....
Gibbs and the NCIS team make a disturbing discovery when they bust an illegal automotive chop shop run by Marines
NOT at ALL sure I like this one!

OCM—My lovely bride (married since 1983) believes that the expensive flowers aren’t worth the money. She much prefers chocolate or watching me clean the kitchen. Real love exhibits itself in a 1000 little ways every day.
Again, why limit it to but one day a year?

I’m delighted, Dot—you certainly deserve it.
But see (Watusi, Photo du Jour)The Skipper’s comment #2 and my #4, as to why I had to squeegee my monitor.

what did I do for valentines day? nothing.. I worked.. on purpose.. no point because as of right I don’t know if I have a girlfriend
long story short 14 months ago I met the love of my life, my soul mate, the woman I know I want to spend the rest of my life with.. this past summer, the very day I was to propose marriage to her, her 5 yr old daughter fell ill.. what was initially diagnosed as bell’s palsy turned out to be a tumor, a fatal brain cancer (AT/RT).. naturally any plans of marriage fell by the wayside as she needed to focus on saving her daughter’s life
‘twas a complicated mess.. family issues.. i had to stay quietly in the background (parents didn’t approve of me) and I did just that.. then 2 weeks before christmas a miracle happened, the chemo and radiation worked, her daughter is cancer free.. slowly things started getting back to semi-normal with us.. for a month at least then I get a nasty-gram via e-mail out of the blue that I’m a pig, all I want from her is sex and our relationship was nothing but a joke to me, and I’m like
.. wouldn’t take my calls, return emails.. nothing.. then I find out as a result of either the chemo or the radiation now her daughter is paralyzed from the waist down.. and they tell her it will be permanent..
on monday I get a text message effectively saying that she doesn’t want to keep hurting me, that every time we start back up again something happens to her daughter and she gets wrapped up with her..
she wants to call it quits
i don’t want to, i can’t.. my heart won’t let me
i know when it comes to children that is a mothers #1 priority, i can handle that
i can wait
she doesn’t think i will, because she’s so stuck on thinking on all men are like her drunk ass cheating and abusive ex husband who abandoned her with a 3 years ago with not a penny to her name
how the hell can i make her realize i am not a jerkoff scumbag like that
my life is
right now
Give her some space, UnixWizzrd. Women are strange at times. I know. I been married to four of them. She is in pain over her daughter and she is striking out at anyone close by. Best thing you can do (IMHO) is go talk to her to her face and tell her that you’re praying for her and her daughter and you don’t want to call it quits. She may be just testing you to see if you will run away. Be patient. Tell her you love her and you will always be there to listen, no sex required. Then leave her alone for a while - but call her every few days and tell her you were worried and just wanted to check on how things are going. Do a lot of listening and very little talking.
Then again, I could just be full of shit. Maybe some of the ladies here can offer some better advice. Ladies, jump in whenever you can ....
Same thing as The Skipper, from your local MSW Social Worker, me.
What we think of as ‘crazy’ behavior is usually just outdated. It was useful behavior once, maybe growing up, but no longer is needed. For example, being passive-aggressive might be a swell idea—when you’re a little child in an abusive family; not good with your wife & kids. Old behaviors are hard to break, even when they obviously don’t work.
If you can find a good (Professional—ask your friends for references)Third Party to sit down together & talk with, it usually helps. I have an email if you want to talk.
