Valentines Shmaltz?

[Bobbisox1]

I have one of the most gentle, kindest husbands in the world but we never celebrate Valentines Day, never have and never will

Do you? If so how

You seem intent on having a dig, TD. My BIL was my wife's brother. His wife was not my sister. And yes, Emmie, they went on to reach double figures of wedlock. As is often the way of the world, they are both now happily ensconced with different partners. The reason he and his first wife parted company was not because of his unromantic nature each Feb 14. It was because he was (and still is) a workaholic.

Romance to me is far removed from the money making eventthat is now Valentine's day. A surprise gift or surprise gestures out of the blue is romantic. Like the OP, in our long marriage we have never celebrated it. He picked me a bunch of daffodils growing wild at the side of a field the other day. That was lovely!

We used to celebrate with super sex. Nowadays she chooses soup:-)

I must also admit that I really wouldn't appreciate flowers other than a few wild ones picked from a field. I love flowers growing in the garden. I dislike flowers in florist 's arrangements that are grown for picking and forced into bloom, just to be chucked away when they die. prematurely.

I was surprised tonight with a nomination charm,
Aww Bless him :0) x

Him indoors has been out and done the weekly shop and is now cooking the dinner. That'll do. I'm going through a really bad patch and he just naturally takes over. I couldn't ask for more really.

He sound a caring man,
“Keep a had” as they say in these parts :0)

All of us are in different positions. Mr BM and I don't always show how we feel. Sometimes a boost is nice.

Different horses for different courses.

We don't "need" a special day but we both work from home and we are guilty of not appreciating each other from time to time. We're both quite independent and powerful individuals and we are both quite insular.

Let's not knock the differences in relationships tho. Each to their very special own.
