What did Steve give you for Valentines day. We MUST know LOL!

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"

If She doesn't PM the Girls She's close with, or Post I'll tell Y'all next week...LOL... It was something She had mentioned months ago, and I would have gotten before, but just couldn't, and she had basically forgotten about it, but when She saw it, She was Happy!

Just wait until She finds out what I am planning next week when My Tax Check comes in...I'm Spoiling Myself, with a few goodies, but She's gonna get Something Nice Too, She blew nearly all of Hers on Bills, and stuff for All of Us...

Kids are the Best and Worst Things We can do to Ourselves. When We have nothing else worth living for, We'll go on, for Them, but Oh How We Miss Our Freedom...LOL

I have to give credit where credit is due. Steve is one of the most romantic men I have ever met. I am more practical and am ashamed to say I can't even compare to what he does for me in the romance department.
He gave me a very soft plush heart pillow(just the right size for huging) three cards(one of which he actually got "to my wife"...and that's a bad word in his vocabulary---lol), and a bag of candy hearts.
that was the beginning.
he took me shopping to get me a much needed and wanted pair of earrings.
Then to top it all off he gave me a gift certificate for a massage(perfect since I have bad shoulders and am constantly in pain)
He is telling me this is only a little bit for now and that there is something much better coming. I can't even begin to imagine what.
I am left speechless and beginning to fall back in love.
Mind you it's not because of the gifts as much as because of the changes I have seen him making since I last posted.
OH YEAH! He has made me happier than I ever thought I could be with him and he has started going to church with me. That is something I have been needing and desiring for the longest time.
GOD does work miracles. I have hope for us!
Thank you everyone for your support for both of us and friendship and words of wisdom and comfort through this VERY trying time.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!(even if it is a little late)

That put a big smile on my face! It's nice to hear that romance is still alive somewhere!

My DH took me to dinner and a movie, I got to choose dinner and he got to choose movie! RAMBO is very bloody !! But the dinner was awesome! A dozen roses too! (keep in mind, my birthday was in Jan & our anniv was in Feb) I guess the jewlry store didn't have anymore diamonds HEHEHEHEHE.

to my FH, he surprised me by showing up at my work, (over an hour away) and taking me to dinner, oh and he brought me a rose and had one on for my car but he was locked out of our garage so he brought that up to my office too
It was nice since I was expected anything!!

My DH didn't buy me anything, but that's because I just don't believe in doing something nice for that special person just because the calendar says so. But, he posted a very heartwarming blog about me on his website. One of the reasons I love my DH is that he doesn't just tell me, he shows me, every day, how much I mean to him.

My ex used to get me the obligatory card but there was no sincere feelings behind it. I would get one for him too, only because he would be hurt if I didn't. I used to look for the "Happy Valentine's Day I Want a Divorce" card but ya know, they just don't make them!

I am new to this,but could really use advice. I have been with my fiance for 11 yrs, I have a son whose father rarely pays child support and has been in and out of his life all of his 16 yr. I have 2 SD's 15 and 17. The 15yr old used to be my sidekick her dad never paid as much attention to her as he did the older one. Anyway's to make a 11yr story as short as possible I have have problems with the controlling muli-personalities ex-wife from the beginning, but put up with it for yrs but have become completed fed up in the last 4yrs. 17yr old SD has been caught sending naked pictures of herself to boys receiving male anatomy parts to her phone, Stole from the store I manage 3yrs ago, fired from 2 jobs, has gotten 2 speeding ticket and has been stealing my stuff for 2 yrs and nobody does anything about it. fiance says she's not stealing she's borrowing! ex-wife went off on me when i tried to talk to her about it. Saying How dare i accuse her daughter of stealing and that i need to get a life and I have had 11 yrs to earn her daughters respect and I have done nothing, She continued to scream at me that the Girl's despise me, they can't stand me and people come up to her and say "THAT'S THE GIRL'S STEPMOTHER" etc. My fiance has never put her in her place and has never defending me against his kid's or ex. I am so hurt and fed up

a bouquet of flowers waiting for me and a "love you cat signed him and the newest cat's name" LOL he also sent me a sweet e card

We had gone out to dinner the night before so we went hand in hand to the nearest grocery store and picked out some fancy food to make back home. then cuddled on the sofa.

Now this whole entire week he DID NOT call the ungrateful step bratlings to say good night or good morning. The result? no phone call back from any of them for the entire week (no surprise here) Although when they come to our house they IMMEDIATELY want to call BM to say "good morning" etc.

He called them Monday evening and even the youngest one, SS 5 was trained by BM and older skids to say "I have something important to do so I have to hang up now" after about 10 seconds of chatting. The oldest did not even bother to come to the phone (SS 11) and was too busy downloading songs with BM's BF. The 9 year old step princess begrudingly came on the phone and answered in monosyllabic answers.

BF: How as your day today honey? SD: "good"
BF: What did you do today on your day off? SD: "nothing"
BF: Did you have a good valentines day? SD: "yeah"
BF: Well I"ll let you go now, good night, honey and i love you
SD: "good night" CLICK

They are supposed to come this weekend and frankly I hope they don't ever want to come back as I believe they are too far gone with PAS; it would be much too much $$$$ for us to spend to even begin getting a smidgeon of a normal relationship back.
