Slightly O/T Valentines Day

Auteur's picture

I'm sure someone is going to start a thread about how V-day, a holiday for adult lovers and celebrated at school between PEERS has been reduced to emotional incest between (usually) NCP guilty biodad and princess SD and/or CP PASinator BM and SS. I personally remember when GG would stop by the side of the road and pick wildflowers for his princess VD. How sweet! As sweet as I am, I have NEVER been sent flowers at work by either my two ex-husbands nor GG :shocked:

And I can honestly say I have NOTHING planned for V-day this year and he has nothing planned either. I'll be surprised if I'm even presented with a houseplant as we are more like roommates and he only comes around me if he needs a "release" without doing a TMI. Seeing that GG so-called "forgot" my birthday last year (it would be twice he did that) I am seriously thinking about "forgetting" his b-day as well next month. Wink

Ha! Back in the early years when he wanted to marry me (and I told him from the very beginning that I was NOT interested in getting married again; which he AGREED to) he bought me with MY credit card an "engagement" ring, which turned into a "friendship" ring, which I now consider an "exit" ring.

yep and why not? At the time he was bringing home about $130 a week the other $400 he sent to the Behemoth out of sheer guilt. He's SUCH a catch, doncha know!!! (insert eyeroll avatar)

I have a friend who's (EX)hubby did the same thing to her. Used HER credit card to buy her an engagement ring. They lasted a whole 3 years.

Ok my exhusband bought me my engagement ring with MY discover card. Then he hid the bills from me. Then he charged up all of my other credit cards pushing me into bankruptcy hence the word EX!

I ended up donating the diamond to a cousin of mine and he had it reset and gave it to his girlfriend. I hope its not a bad luck diamond!! Of course she has no idea.

I will one up you. SD9's birthday is Valentine's day. And even though DH is NCP and we live two hours away she has somehow guilted him into making the 4 hour round trip drive on a Tuesday night to have dinner with her on her actual birthday.

I probably wouldn't care as much if she didn't RELISH in the fact that her b-day is V-day. She is probably thinking she has won some type of battle against me in that he is choosing her over me. He has 3 girls and she is the only one for some reason that he goes through all this effort for because she is the neediest child imaginable. I can't wait until she is old enough to have a boyfriend to put through this.

Little does she know, though, I can't stand V-day. I hate that there is so much pressure for a made up holiday and that it always ends in disappointment whether you are single or married. She also doesn't know though that I happen to be working out of town in the same city she lives in on that day and that DH and I will be spending some quality time together later that evening. I am sure if she knew daddykins was coming to see me after she would make up some excuse to monopolize his time.
