Ok, so yesterday I made a post saying how love isn't a one day affair and that romance is something you should show your loved one regularly. I also said how I feel that it's too commercial. Advertised to make money. Well, how did I do on valentines?
My husband and I agreed that it's commercialism only and we weren't partaking. So much so that I went out for something to eat with a friend after work.
On the way home however, I got to wondering if hubby would buy me something and if he did, how bad I'd feel for not getting him anything. I knew we'd agreed not to, but I also know he likes to spoil me. So with those concerns I stopped at the local petrol station and picked up a Thornton chocolate teddy bear.
I arrived home and duly handed over chocolate ted. Hubbys words "I didn't get you anything and now I feel guilty" which then served to make me feel guilty for breaking our agreement.
I kind if just proved all the points I made yesterday didn't I?
Did you manage to get through the day unscathed?
My bf tried, He kept asking what I wanted to do, suggesting dinner and a movie. I kept saying I don't know. In the end we both cooked dinner (grilled cheese and spaghetti o's - real fancy there) and had a normal night. Later this week there is a movie coming out, if he really wants to make me feel special he can take me to that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to see your movie. i love going to the cinema and really should do it soon myself.
ReplyDeleteI spent Valentines with two other girlfriends and every single table at the restaurants were either for two or were reserved. It was discrimination at first hand! Haha. Luckily enough I had consolation knowing that I was in a relationship (unlike my other two girlfriends) :)
ReplyDeleteYileen - It really is a strange day where everyone loses their common sense and everything is just made for pairs. I hope you had a lovely evening with your friends. I'm sure they had a great night. It can be a difficult day if you're single.
