I usually get my wife flowers and a gift. She gives me squat. Not sure how to take that.

BTW- isn't it funny that a holiday dedicated to love is abbreviated VD?

not even a card from her?

Maybe, but mostly no.

My wife told me last week to not get her anything for V-day. And thankfully, I can trust her to say what she means.

I'm giving the fine ladies on campus a break from my intensely soothing lovin'.



Edit for ns1: Amount spent in the past.......oh, I don't know, 10+ years, probably more, on Valentine's Day related expenses: $0. The last time I think I did anything for it was 8th grade, and I graduated from high school in 2000.

She forgot it was valentine's day today, so I'm in the clear.

No she didn't! ;)

My wife told me the same thing, 3 days after I ordered flowers to be sent to her at work. I didn't cancel the order.

Yep, made that mistake with 2nd ex wife...

They all remember Valentines Day, say one thing and mean another. And I'm not saying that in anger/frustration or anything, just filed under "lessons learned the hard way" ;)
