Yep, no one said that my Valentine couldn't be fuzzy, even if her kisses are slightly scratchier than I prefer from my men.
Nothing from xSO for Valentine's Day. I wondered briefly if he was with OW but I really did not care. I had no expectations of receiving anything, although I did kind of hoped he would send at least a text. We never really made a big deal out of the day before.
So, if I had to describe this situation, I am HIS best friend and he is my acquaintance who calls me every few days. Here is where I feel that our "relationship" is so unnatural. Had the roles been reversed and he was sick with a nasty cold and a dying parent, I would have been in touch every day. But I guess I should not be making that comparison anymore.
I feel very discouraged sometimes when I think this could last for years. But I try to remind myself not to complain, at least he wants to talk to me and has even said he wanted to see me. In my situation this is good as we do not have children that would keep us in "forced" contact.
