wendieann Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Today while shopping I ALMOST bought my X a Valentines gift! It was a very beautiful picture we took of a sunset and his car. Stunning. I was going to have it enlarged and canvassed for him I time for Valentines. (Sure, a part of me was so he'd realize how much I spoilt him) I didn't though!! How about you? With this dreaded Valentines Day creeping up... or anything else. Have you held back on showing how nice and amazing you are?
Nilfiry Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 It is a good thing that I have no romantic obligations. Even if I did, I like to make it clear that I am bad with gifts and celebrations, so I do not usually celebrate nor give gifts. It works out. People who are close to me already know how nice and amazing I am without me needing to do anything special.
WonderKid Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 When V-Day comes up I usually stay away from social media but it's no bother. Technically, I never had a relationship that led to V-Day. Lol So when it comes I rarely have anyone in mind.
bunk Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I've done everything i can to avoid being reminded of my ex. Unfortunately, the only stuff I can't box up or throw away is in my mind. And there's a lot of it! As such, I keep mulling over the idea of getting her something for her birthday and/or Valentine's Day. But then I think about it logically and my brain says "No, that's a bad way to burn cash" 1
GlobeTrotter9 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 In the same situation. My ex's birthday is coming up in the next week and I very nearly bought two tickets to see a band she really likes. But I managed to hold back and think that realistically if I gave her two tickets then she'd just go with the new guy she's seeing. Her loss I guess... 1
Author wendieann Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Good for you on not buying the tickets! Your right. She'd probably take new guy. My X would just hang up the beautiful picture and say he took it. It has zero emotional meaning for him. It sure did for me. One day at a time. I haven't had a V-day with a spouse I wanted in soo soo very long. I miss the thrill and excitement of planning and preparing. It's great to here.
preraph Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 See? Even though it's over, you are still a loving thoughtful person. He's just not a good recipient for all that. You still have your love, because it came from inside you. It didn't come from him. You're still whole.
