Help

How do you get through this holiday if your tryring to detach, go dark, pull back or not chase?

What is everyone doing?

I made plans to take the whole family out to eat. The W told me she was going to get stuff for me tonight for VD day. Seems weird but now I feel I have to do something.

Flowers?

Card? Do I sign normal, I love you?

Hi Twice,
If you are trying to pull away and detach, you need to do something minimal, if at ALL, for her.
Focus on your son and daughter and make this a special VD for THEM.
You shouldn't get something just because she is getting something. You have to do what feels right. Others seem to be sticking to small gestures like cards - nothing super romantic.
Good luck!

Hey twice, simple is best here. Get her a Card, nothing mushy, and something nice that you know she needs. Simple as that.
