Pfft. Screw you, OP. I've gotta buy the wife a Valentine's Day present...and pay for the B&B we're staying at for one damn night b/c "they have such a nice Valentine's Day dinner special and entertainment, honey! We should go!" :roll:

I_so_fucking_can't_stand_Valentine's_Day. :|

Don't get me wrong; I'm not a troglodyte. I understand this made-up American holiday and what my job is as a man. I will buy flowers and/or chocolate and present them with humble and genuine smiley face so that the wife is happy and I get laid. You know; like all men do with their SO's. I believe in checking off whatever boxes I need to check off in life. Gotta do what you gotta do.

But when you're married, oh, $50 for some flowers and cheap chocolate don't cut it anymore.

I'm gonna spend about $300 to eat a nasty, cold dinner and dance to a lame band, so I can have half-assed sex at 3:00AM with my wife who is in the middle of a Princess Delusion. AKA "Valentine's Day."

Any other married guys feeling the pain out there?

*sigh*

I remember dating some girlfriend back in 198x. I had the plan down. I couldn't do any wrong. I showed up with flowers in one hand, box o'chocolates in the other. Total cost: $30 or so. She was probably expecting a pink Rolls Royce filled with Belgian Chocolates in the shape of ponies or some other estrogen-fueled delusion like that. Well, whatever she thought she was gonna get was replaced with Ye'Olde Standard V-Day Gifts.

I got the biggest, fake smile and "OH honey, thank you so much!" fake face EVER. And she had no choice but to be nice the whole night and put out later.

For made-up holidays, as long as you get at least the minimum standard gifts, you should be good to go. Hell, at least I REMEMBERED the day.
