He just was not making the connection between VD and lovers. He says that he was thinking, Get her a present from the girls and we'll have a nice night together. ???
I said, Come on, H, there is lover/sexy stuff all OVER the place at this time of year and I'm supposed to believe that it slipped your notice and you were focused on being a good dad..?
He made a pretty good case that this was so. He did make me a lovely card and wrote some nice things in it, so I shouldn't say that he did nothing for VD but he gave me the present first thing in the morning and then by evening, he was fairly detached and we put the kids to bed and he watched a movie. It was more of the same on a night when I was thinking of something different.
LustyBabe, Yes we need time away from our kids. Desperately! He freaks if anyone is watching except for me or his mother. That leaves me with not many options. And, like I said earlier, he's gotten into this mode of waiting for me to do everything and he'll either go along with it or override it with his bad attitude. Fooey on that! I pointed out to him last night that the last date we went on that was his idea was Valentine's Day 2003. Fellas, if you let 3 years go by without taking your wife out, you are going to have one crabby, neglected-feeling chick on your hands.
