hey Brisk.....f Valentines. I'm a deliriously happy single woman and one of the few who genuinely doesn't care about the hype of this day. To me, this is Day 14 of my month long birthday celebration. That is all this day means to me.

I'm alive, love my life, I'm being a total sloth today...why? because I can...and because I want to!!!!

So celebrate with me....let's get a good laugh at all the folks who fall for the BS of valentines simply because they feel obligated....and their day ends like the OP's.

thanks for the gee up

But its not valentines day itself, its just the fact a girl has been cheating with me for a year and a half and she is still going out with her bf still (2 year relationship). I know i know it sounds like she is using me etc but its far too complicated to explain, she is just like the perfect girl, she loves and knows stuff about music (virtually impossible at my age) etc not to mention being extremely pretty so its just hard for me to let go.

ok then....I'm ok with some self pity, been there and done that. I'd kick your ass if it was only about valentines and being alone! I don't know her (or you for that matter) but if she's been running around on you for that long, that is one of her faults that makes her less than the right woman for you. You're better than that. Against my rules, that's my valentines to you.

frightening, eh?

Brisk.

thanks whizbang and chelsea

you dont support chelsea do you?

Sometimes i think, even though its nice to be with someone, if your a guy you end up spending pretty much loads of money, you will have rows and eventually nothing lasts forever. Okay yeah i read that to myself and its stupid, better to have loved and lost to have never loved at all.

hmmmm.....
I had actually started responding to an earlier note from chelsea but I deleted it by accident.

Here's my thing on Valentines - male or female, if it's your thing...doesn't matter your reason, speak up and say so. Sadly, women and men get caught up in the hype of the day and they don't talk about what it might actually mean to each other. Without communication, men assume the woman will freak out if he doesn't get her something...thereby either stressing him out trying to think of something over the top that she'll love or going with the typical, standard gifts (flowers, candy, jewelry). And yes, there are legitimately guys who don't give a shit, don't bother remembering and forever wonder what they did wrong.

And the woman? we're f'd beyond belief - you've got the group the media targets. The ones who think "if he loves me, he'll know what I want...it's the Super Bowl for women" (and I cannot believe I just put that in the same sentence but I had to for an example...so please forgive). Those are usually the ones who are forever disappointed in what they get. They think all women think the same way so they compare themselves to a girlfriend who has an honesty policy with her guy about the day and the girlfriend's guy got her the most romantic weekend get away ever. The disappointed woman now feels like The Biggest Loser Known to All Woman-dom....that she should just turn in her ovaries. She thinks her guy doesn't love her, that she needs to trade him in for a new model who isn't a thoughtless bastard.

Yes, I've thought about this I never cared for the day as a kid...maybe because my birthday is this month? not sure but I had always viewed it as a popularity contest and a way to exclude people. My ex husband and I discussed it early on. Not a big deal, not something that was important to either of us. Sure, we'd occasionally do something - silly card, leave a note - but nothing consistent and nothing required. Amusingly enough? He sent me a text today "Happy V Day"...we get along good and share the dogs so pretty funny. In light of my bday month, he owes me a birthday pizza night (I got him one so fair is fair!).

Some nice points there!

Yeah when i do when i get a lady of my own is to talk about valentines day early on, i dont really care for it much, you should love someone lots and do special things for them every day or throughout the year, not just one day because of some christian. Would mean more to do something not on this day as it isn't expected or forced!

what dates the birthday?

It was the 10th.
And yes, that's how I look at it as well. So many other days to do something special because you're thinking of her/she's thinking of you than to do it just because it's forced. And believe me, if you do something special for no reason, she'll remember that over what you were "forced" to get her on Valentines.
