I just realized that I will be home over Valentines day. Great, a no win situation. If I get something, then I will be pushing; if I don't, then I will be insensitive and pulling away.
Do they make an "I would love to love you if you were not being so STUPID" card?
I was thinking about not wearing my ring when I get off the plane. Overkill or not?
All this Valentine's Day questioning! The way I see it, a card is $3.00; candy is $5-10.00; and flowers at the grocery are less than $20.00. If your wife is not happy with the marriage, they may not buy you much goodwill, but failing to give her something will buy you a boatload of bad feelings. My advice is to spring for something. It's well worth the cost.
I completely disagree with this. This is crumbs not some holy grail that will turn around your marriage. Its a holiday. Why do you think that doing this one action will make a difference either way? Its just additional noise. Nothing more. And sometimes all this noise becomes deafening. Sometimes quietness is required. Give the gift of space. Give the gift of allowing someone to process their thoughts. Why add to their guilt, misplaced anger? Seriously Why?
I have yet to see anyone offer one valid reason.
Pursuing is pursuing no matter how it is masked.
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
