Fuck Valentine’s Day
February 14th, 2006
There I said it. Get over it.
I love my wife dearly - 365 days a year (well maybe 340 or so). I appreciate her, and I try to show my appreciation as much as I can. I work on seeing things from her point of view, and do my best in trying to be sensitive to her feelings. I even occasionally enjoy being romantic - doing little things to remind her of why she first fell in love with me.
However, this “holiday” really chaps my ass. Every year, I wind up letting down my wife with a half-baked gift, or idea. I resent the cloud of disappointment that hangs around all day. I just can’t get into it. I hate feeling forced to prove my love on this day, more than any other. What a pain in the ass.

LOL - I agree! Valentine’s Day is so much better when you’re single. You’re not forced to buy any gifts and since it is the day of “love” - there’s still a good chance of getting laid.

Just think of this day as some novelty idea made just for the woman. It’s not necessarily a day to “prove” your love, but really a day for 2 lovers to take a vacation from all other things, to concentrate on giving one another special attention.
It’s just one of those things. So if you’re having a hard time adjusting to this special holiday, it might be a neurological medical condition based upon past experiences. lol
Just do it man for goodness sakes. If you don’t, your girl won’t ever let you live it down and then you have 365 days 24/7 to contend with. If it were me, I would take the option and lather her up with all I can think of. It makes the bed much more warmer to sleep in, IMO.
I’m just trying to help you out Greg.

Here in Japan, Valentine’s Day is the day the wife has to buy the husband a gift! A month later on “White Day” the roles are reversed.
I agree with this arrangement. Nothing says “I love you” quite like knowing your husband’ll stiff you in a month if you stiff him now!
LOL.

Greg, I agree with you completely, even if this reply is 2 years overdue, I dislike this stupid holiday so much I typed “fuck Valentines” in a google search. Just thinking of what to “do” with my girl is so gdamn stressful it is ruining my days at work cause I have the pressure of being inventive.. Complete pain in the ass, I don’t need a day to show my love that I love her - and screw that “special” day crap its for the birds.
