Happy Valentine’s Day…I Think
Feb 14
glitter-graphics.com I’ve always hated Valentine’s Day for the last several years because I’ve always been single. This year I was sort of looking forward to it considering I’m not single.
I was expecting something today – card, flowers, dinner…anything I guess. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt that the only thing I got was a text message at 8:30 this morning telling me Happy Valentine’s Day.
That’s what happens when I have expectations I always end up hurt.
And it’s only a quarter after 1 so maybe I will still get something. The probability of that? Very UNLIKELY! He does not ask me to do anything when I have Caleb and he knows I have him this weekend. But good grief it’s Valentine’s Day! I’d be lying if I said that it doesn’t bother me that he hasn’t called and at least asked me to do something (the best friend B said she would babysit if he asked me out to dinner or something).
I try to not have all these expectations because I know I’ll just end up hurt (like now) when they aren’t met. But sometimes it’s just so hard. And honestly was today’s expectations of getting a card or flowers or taken out to dinner so bad? No. I don’t think so anyways.
So what do you think – am I wrong for being upset that I didn’t get anything other than a text message?
Drop some hints! Let him know you have a sitter available if he wanted to get together. He may have just assumed you couldn’t do anything so he didn’t ask.
Guys are kinda clueless when it comes to this stuff. Sometimes you have to kinda nudge them along.

HUH? Not even a phone call? Just a text? Ok I would be pissed! Seriously!
A bunch of flowers can be delivered so doesnt involve going out?

Awww geesh! I’m so sorry, Tishia! Have you heard from him yet? We could give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe something happened like he got tied up & tortured by a miffed ex-girlfriend that he didn’t call last Valentine’s Day. =) Maybe he’s short on cash until his next payday & felt like a heel about it & didn’t know how to tell you. Whatever it was, try not to take it so personal, but I’d definitely bring it up that a phone call would have been appreciated at the very least.

I’m sorry to hear about what has happened days after this post Tishia. It is tough and I guess it’s not always easy to ignore days like this. You wanna know a big ‘secret’? Valentines is just-another-day … at least in our household and no, my marriage is far from being int trouble. Lots of ((HUGS))
