They may say they don't expect anything but women lie even better than we do. Be smart, a pizzed off wife/girlfriend can hurt for weeks. Married for @ 24 yrs myself, have the scars to prove it.

My sweet potatoe never saw it coming. I gave her a box of white chocolate hearts with a nice card. I'll be safe for awhile? :thumbup:
It's Valentines day everyday for my wife. :)
YD, is that because your coming home , or leaving home. :) :) couldn't resist.......
.yes wife has roses already, present later, she knows I'm fishing all day tomorrow , later I can tell her I'm fishing Monday as well....:) :).
My wife and I just got back from 10 days in Panama. Sunshine, cool breezes and lazing around the pools. I'm good!
Today we are staying put, which is a good thing because our driveway is full of snow and the snow keeps falling and blowing!
Enjoy the day and be safe!
I set myself up for that one. lolQuote:

Sent her this but she didn't fall for it so wound up taking her out for dinner.
Too funny Bo D....Don't think Mizzis C would buy that decoy.
I did the 1)flowers delivered to work with card, 2)took her shopping and I did the paying lol, 3)vacuumed the house bottom to top and some other undisclosed niceties.
All is well in Coyoteville tonight.........
We are just taking it easy, and doing nothing! Neither of us like valentines day.
The wife got exactly what she said she wanted NOTHING!
I was even at the grocery store Friday, and called her at work, I said, this is your last chance, are you sure you really want nothing , or are you doing that girls do, where they say nothing, but really, they want something" the girl beside my in the aisle laughed and said, you best get her something!
I said nope!
And she was fine, so far... But I do fly out tomorrow for a week so I won't be here for the rath, my bank account, however, may feel it :)
Yes. Yes you are a Rookie. It's always cheaper to do the buying than it is to just do the paying later...........:rolleye:Quote:

Actually took her for a movie and dinner last Saturday to celebrate.
In turn she allowed the fishing!! Gotta love her...
now I gotta think of something to offset my Temagami trip in two weeks...
Me sending my wife flowers at work would mean a building lockdown and an EDU call out ! lol
I sent mine shoping with her mother. Bonus for me since then I didn't have to spend time with the mother inlaw or go shopping with the wife
bought mine a new dishwasher. We were so fed up with our three year old Samsung I removed it and bought Fridgidare.
Now she doesn't have to listen to me complain while I dry the dishes.....
Nuttin special around here. We don't get caught up in all the hype and all the lovey dovey for 1 day a year. We be in it for the long haul.

Valentines Day.
A manufactured day, that's "supposed" to be for two people to show their love and appreciation for each other. Why is it men end up buying roses and more, cleaning houses, doing this, that and the other...and yet women?? Question Terry, did you get a dozen roses at work? :)
And why is it,so many men seem to need a "special day" to remind them to do special things for their wives? Aren't there 364 other days?
************
A single truffle out of the blue on any other day trumps a bed of roses on VD. Any woman that doesn't get that, not gf/wife material.
Don't sweat it JBen, we have march 14th for our day.

All my wife is getting/got this year was not having to wear black...
She spent Friday night trying to keep me from sleeping on my back and drowning. I was sick in Oct and this is a relapse from that infection in my lungs...
We'll get the Valentines day thing done later.. By the way you know that it's ST VALENTINES day. Valentines was a Christian Priest that married people( Christians ) in Roman times, because the Roman state refused to allow Christians to marry..

Oh I know that feeling. Terrible way to be. Almost scary to sleep yet not enough energy to stay awake.Quote:

Do know one girl that got upset because she didn't get roses at work. When asked why she was upset, and when asked "don't I show you how much I love/appreciation you the rest of the year, without the expectation of a "day".
She answered.
Yes all the time, but all the other girls at work got roses and when they asked what I got…….
I told her to tell her co-workers you have a BF that loves and appreciations you the rest of the year when their husbands…maybe not.
That was that.
best Snowwalker.
And your also a therapist.:)
And single ;)
lol.
But true that, very true. She was "upset" because the other women at work got roses delivered and when they asked her what I got for her..And when I told her to tell her co-corkers well my BF shows it all the time..maybe theirs don't…She understood.
We always did something, and I always will, be it dinner, a show, whatever….But that other stuff?
Thats what the other 364 are for. As I said, a single truffle out of the blue trumps a bed of roses on VD.
Get better Snowwlker, and don't take those infections lightly.Quote:

Because men are brain dead most of the time when it comes to knowing what a woman needs .:) There needs to be a day to get their attention.
A family went to a hospital, where one of their relatives would be having a brain transplant. One of the relatives asked, "What will the cost of a new brain be?" The doctor replied, "A female brain costs $25,000 and a male brain costs $50,000." The men smirked, but one of the females asked, "Why is that, doctor?" "Well," the doctor replied,” the female brain is less because it has been used."
Anytime you see a young man open a car door for his girlfriend, either the car is new or the girlfriend is.
To impress his date, the young man took her to a very chick Italian restaurant. After sipping some fine wine, he picked up the menu and ordered. "We'll have the Giuseppe Spomdalucci," he said. "Sorry, sir," said the waiter. "That"s the owner."
** No nasty PMs please. I'm teasing you. :)
Or perhaps the blonde cannot find the handle because it is painted the same colour as the door....:joker:Quote:

Low blow, you aren't playing fair. Come on Sharon, give some of us credit.
Dont buy into that day either. Got a wife who doesn't as well - which is a huge part of why she's the bride.
We did walk around an adult store last night... Didn't buy anything so I'm not sure where that falls within the valentines realm of involvement. Lol
The most crucial thing about Valentine's Day is understanding the importance of certain four letter words, the most important of which is LOVE. Closely followed by DEER, BEER, GUNS, and FISH.
LOL Very good!
I wish I could say I made it up, but I got it from a Facebook meme ;).
Well Sharon if you know me..there are always two (or more) ways to look at the same thing.
Theres a saying.
When men hit mid life we buy cars, boats, crotch rockets………Women buy lawyers.
Statistically proven.
75% of all divorces (50% of people will get divorced, that doesn't include separations or common law, just legal divorces) are initiated by women. Two ways to look at that sad stat.
Figure it out boys
JBen now that's the truth,My wife and I are the last of our friends that are still together the rest are splits ville and all initiated by the women
Very sad that the divorce rate is as high as it is.
One reason is that women can now take care of themselves if necessary. When my Mom was being abused , beaten, stalked etc.. she had no options . 6 kids and no women's shelters etc. No job to support herself as women stayed home and raised the kids back then.
"Two-thirds of all divorces are initiated by women. One recent study found that many of the reasons for this have to do with the nature of our divorce laws. For example, in most states women have a good chance of receiving custody of their children. Because women more strongly want to keep their children with them, in states where there is a presumption of shared custody with the husband the percentage of women who initiate divorces is much lower. Also, the higher rate of women initiators is probably due to the fact that men are more likely to be "badly behaved." Husbands, for example, are more likely than wives to have problems with drinking, drug abuse, gambling , and infidelity."
"More likely " meaning NOT only men have those problems.
We are also living in a post Christian time period. When I got married , divorce was not considered acceptable . You were to work it out . Not so anymore.
Men initiate divorce less often as they are often the higher earners, and fear the crippling costs of a split , and the likely possibility of not seeing their children as often as they want. Also sad to me that women are more likely to have custody. Usually no reason for that and I feel badly for men in that regard.

Haha, well in my case while waiting for the surgery to remove my tumor, I came home to the proverbial and literal empty home and dear john letter one day. She's still with her Boss.
:)
I wish her well, welcome in my home, hope it goes the distance . We're friendly but not friends.
75% of all are initiated by women. Two ways to look at that

Fact of the matter is I'm friends with all 3 of Exes (My ex wife, despite her trashing my last relationship on top of that, and two 3yr relationships). Thats not to say there haven't been harsh words (devil details) with her but you have them, come to understandings, and life moves on.
Everyone is allowed to, and should be "happy".
If he makes her happy, thats all that really matters.
/edit add
Now "him" oth, he and she know if he ever invades my space it won't go well for him.
There are some lines men just…..don't….cross.

Just one other thing Sharon.
Imo, the main reason (certainly not the only) for the abysmal rates is because it's become so accepted and so simple. The divorce rate is 50%...now add separations and common law breakups.
I do believe that "everyone is allowed to be happy, should be happy". however the pendulum has swung too far as it usually does. And while I do feel there are reasons 75% of divorces are initiated by women for reasons and men shoulder a lot of that. By the same token,
Men when they hit mid life crises buy toys, women lawyers and they celebrate it these days.Quote:

Always two or more ways to look at things :)
Valentines Day.
A good reminder to do things together, especially if you have kids and your hitting the "dog days of summer", mid life "doldrums" where careers, family life, responsibilities and more can suck the life out.
Don't tell me you love me, show me. If it takes a day like VD for either party to remember to say "I love you, appreciate you" and buy gifts or whatever..
You got problems.
just my 2c
:)
