A little Valentine's Day therapy

[g1976b]

Hi All,

 

I know it's just another day, but I thought it might be helpful for myself and others to just let go of whatever you need to about today. You want to contact your ex? Of course. I do. Instead, post here.

 

You had great V Day plans? Me too. Talk about them here. Let it out.

 

Memories from the last V Day you had with her/him? Spill it.

 

For me, I want to contact her and remind her of how I still feel. How much I'm sorry for our past troubles and that I can promise her next time things will be different. I still love and miss her. It kills me not to be with her today. I've never been much into V Day, but with her it meant something.

 

I had planned to go out to a very romantic 4 course dinner at our favorite restaurant. It was a personal place for us, but also great food and very romantic. We would have both loved it.

 

Last year was phenomenal. So much so that her mom (who never really liked me) even said "it sounds like you had a once in a lifetime Valentine's Day". We may not have topped it, but we would have tried.

 

More than anything, I just miss her being around. I miss sharing our lives together, both good and bad.

 

To all of us LSers, let's stick together and try to stay strong today. If we have any hope for the future (in our previous relationship or a new one) we need to have respect for ourselves and respect for our ex and what they need right now.

My relationship with my ex had gotten so bad over the holidays, that I knew we would have "the talk" and would not be together on Valentine's Day. In all honesty, I kinda knew then that I would spend it alone trying to figure out what the hell went wrong and hoping I could move on as fast as possible.

 

Lucky for me, Feb was always a little more about my birthday than Valentine's Day - she appreciated what I did for her each year, but didn't make such a big deal out of the day.

 

This year, she may miss me a little, but probably just a new morning of healing for her today too?

I was gonna have my first Valentine's Day ever, but instead he broke up with me two weeks before. I'm just going with the flow today, hanging out with friends and having a nice lunch and dinner. However, I have to fly tonight, which is one of my least favorite things to do. I think I'm going to buy myself some flowers when I go to Costco today.

I don't care about this V-Day. All I know is, if I'm with a woman on V-Day, I'm going to give her the best V-Day of any woman ever. She's going to be floating on clouds.
