Yeah.
My wife's birthday is a few days after V-Day.
I get screwed each year...
What is your problem? Do you not respect the privacy that is expected in L&R?
You can use L&R all you want to get off by trying to turn threads on the OP and incessantly attacking them, but just keep it there. Keep the spillover to ZERO.
No hallmark holidays for us. Instead on Sunday. I'll get her some flowers. Then we're going to take the dogs snowshoeing. Later, taking her to the Hasty Pudding Theatricals annual show. Afterwards, taking her to her favorite restaurant. If we still have any energy, we'll go ice skating.
I was going to take her to a nice place for dinner. But she also thinks she will be getting gift. So now I have to get a gift for her otherwise she will be mad at me. She doesn't want chocolates or flowers.
So what are you getting and how much are you spending?
Nothing. My wife said she's over the whole fake holiday. We might go have dinner before or after 02/14. We haven't done the whole Valentine's Day thing for 2 years already.
