I guess the key word is "expectations." I started my W's day with a cute little "love" pin, kind of vintage looking like she likes. Had a GORGEOUS bouquet delivered by her favorite florist. Made our traditional Valentine's dinner. Bought French champagne. Presented her with another gift at dinner (one of those amazing Diptyque candles). Got all the kids to bed, lit the candles in the BR and...nothing. Was I "expecting" something? Well, sure. But not becuase of all I had done during the day. More because it seemed like the logical conclusion to a loving day, never mind that it happened to be 2/14. I've realized I'm in an SSM for about two years now. The thing is, when we do ML, it can be outstanding...but 2x a month doesn't cut it. I've resigned myself to the fact that we'll never be as prolific in that department as I'd like, but...
