Worried I found DB too late

[cw68]

I have the same thoughts. I came from the apartment this morning as my H had the kids last night. I left the gifts there for him along with a GREAT card that I found that was totally anti-valentine's day and even said, "Crappy Valentine's Day" instead of happy. I wrote some realistic and some nice stuff in there.

When I came back to the house this morning, he had gotten me a magazine and some of my favorite truffles from him and the kids. The card said that it's a tough v-day for us, but that he wanted me to know that he loves and appreciates me and thinks I'm a wonderful person. All I could think was, "Then why the heck don't you want to try to work this out?!"

But I only said, "Happy Valentine's Day" and didn't allude to the fact that I had left a gift for him at the apartment. He can just discover it while feeling that empty feeling all day. I think he noticed because I had to call him about some bank matters and when he answered he said that he was just trying to hold it together; he had just gotten reamed by some salesman of theirs and was trying not to get emotional over it. To which I replied that it's OK to get emotional, you just have to keep it in check. (His lack of emotions is one of his issues.)

So, all in all, crappy valentine's day, but it could be worse I guess.

Men.
