_Saffy_ Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 i guess some people will never be satisfied.
savethedrama4allama Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Uh...let me tell you about my worst Valentine's Day ever and maybe you won't feel so bad. My then husband picked out a card for me at the grocery store, but when he went through the checkout he realized it was $6. Too expensive for his taste. So he came home, handed it to me gingerly, and told me to read it but wait! be careful not to bend it, because he's returning it to the store. I just looked at him like you've got to be freaking kidding me. But he wasn't! By George, he took that card right back to the grocery store and made me sit and wait in the car while he did it, no less. No dinner, no presents, no candy, no flowers. So, I say this in the kindest way: Quit Your Bitchin'.

Each relationship has good and bad points. If something is acceptable to you, you shouldn't flip your opinion just because others find it unacceptable. Formulate your own opinion.

Merin Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 People express thier Love in different ways.. Your BF's way happens to be in doing things for you like get gasoline in your car.. tell you he loves you.. things like that. Your way (I'm assuming) is to buy him things you think are romantic.. So.. while you may wonder why he doesn't buy you flowers to show you he loves you because in your mind that is romantic.. He may wonder why you don't get gasoline in HIS car.. lol because as far as he's concerned thats romantic!
clynn Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Wow. Be happy with what you've got and what you get or pretty soon you won't have it anymore! You sound ungrateful to me!!! If you like flowers, buy them for yourself!
Sckott Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Agree with most here. He did pretty good and damn it, he loves you and he's showing it. For your birthday, ask for flowers and a big night out. I wouldn't place another thought about it. Being romantic at all is romantic enough, IMHO. The real love between you both SHOULD be bigger than a dozen roses at all. You're luckier than you know.
alicia24 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 be happy you got a dinner. The guy I am dating sent me an email for Valentines day. Thats it no flowers no nothing. I got him a card and a gift. I took the gift back because we didnt even see each other on Valentines day.
mymojo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I paid for my own flowers and card, I also pay all of the bills in this relationship, every single penny. Still want flowers and a card ?
moimeme Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Don't judge your fellow according to Harlequin romance standards. He sounds like he's very good to you. Try thanking him for what he does give you rather than wanting more.
