- actually, she doesn't "expect" anything. I'm the romantic one... she probably won't even remember to get me anything because we have been very business lately. I'll probably get a card two days after our anniversary. Meanwhile, I will plan something very thoughtful and inexpensive (we're on a strict budget so anything expensive would NOT be appreciated). I already have an idea for a day trip that she will enjoy that has absolutely no connection with anything intimate or physical. That is going to be my version of a 180. I am going to make no advances toward her in a physical sense. I'm just truly tired of the constant rejection... she can take the reigns for a while...
