About an hour ago, my hubby and I were sitting having coffee and I started kind of ripping into him. (Forgot about Valentines day) He dropped the bomb on me that his paychecks will be "light" basically, he's been working like, 20 hour weeks.

I don't realize it, I work a boat load so I don't know when he gets home. So I got kind of irritated. It's been a sore subject, his company is kind of going down the tubes and I think he should get another job. He likes the "down time". Whatever.

So I then go to get online and BAM! Sitting on my computer desk is roses, a card and a Spa Gift Certificate.

DOH, I feel like a schmuck. Kind of. Whether it's lovey gag me day and he's trying to buy me off, the concept of working is the same. Or maybe it was smart on his part - the timing of the conversation?

Hmmmm....

    Maybe you should apologize.

    You kind of feel like a schmuck?
    You should totally feel like one. lol
    Sounds fishy to me...he was playing with you.
    You should call him right now and apologize and give him steak with a happy ending later. :)
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    it is situations like these that make love stronger.

    Yeah, but the more I think about it, wouldn't it have made more sense for him to maybe...just maybe told me about the light work weeks - like NOT on Valentine's day? Without having to "buy me off"?

    I mean, it's a great gesture and all and the thought is there. But, it would have been sweeter without the little bomb......

    How is it buying you off? It's Valentine's day, he was giving you something even if he didn't tell you about the work situation.

    I don't even know what to say here...you are really being childish I think.
    Do you know anything about the male ego?? Do you think it was easy for him to tell you this?? The poor guy probably feels bad enough. Then the sweet lamb goes out of his way and gives you roses, a card and a spa card?
    Buy you off????
    :( That makes me so sad.
    This is why people hate Valentine's Day.

    I think your poor husband is trying...he seems like a good guy and it sounds like he loves you an awful lot. Give the guy a break....:(

    PFFFFFFFFFFFT...."buy you off". If I was him, I'd totally de-gift that stuff and tell you to go stick your face in a toilet.

    Another Valentine's Day miracle!

    Any other decisions she should make for him?

    This may have something to do with it:

    I am guessing this poor guy plays second fiddle to your career.
    This may be why he is trying to buy your love, if he truly is.
    Tell the poor guy I say Happy Valentine's Day.

    I don't get it....buy you off?

    Sounds like you'd rather him not have got you anything, so you can be mad at him for his employer not giving him 'enough' hours. Weird.
