I'm guilty of doing it, because I've made it a point to teach my son how to properly love and respect any person you love, more so on Valentine's. So it's just interesting to me that your wife, probably knowing that you and your daughter have a 'daddy's girl' bond, didn't see it fit to call, send a little hand-made valentine or something.


For more than year i found that my W stopped doing the stuff for me that she used to. I've slowly learnt to be happy with what i was getting. Otherwise i found myself to be sad because i was setting up expectations. So that's why it did not bother me much yesterday. What did bother me was the decision that i took to not wish my W anything. Somehow i kept feeling bad. I have never not wished her on V day for the 11 years we have been together frown
