Valentine's Day is going to be interesting to say the least. It's comforting that I'm not alone thinking about what to do. It's not enough that it's Valentine's Day, but it's also our 3 year anniversary, and my birthday.

Since there is OM in the picture I am totally lost. If feel damned if I do, damned if I don't (with respect to even a low key gift).

I am almost inclined to not do anything. I fear that attention from the OM on that day, plus something from me related to Vday and the anniversary would just overwhelm her and lead to further frustration on her part.

As much I'd love to do something great for her, she probably expects that I will do something to "compete" with OM, so maybe just backing off will really get her attention.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I wish you all the best next week \:\)
