After letting me think he hadn’t got me anything therefore making me get quite angry and call lhim a bastard. I feel like shit now!

I also lied and said he wasn’t getting what I’d bought for him as he hadn’t got me anything, but I haven’t actually got him anything so am now hiding in bedroom until he’s left so I can get him something on the school run and pretend that I didn’t just buy it.

Fuck!

I think this is meant to be lighthearted..., I got dh a card, didn’t mention anything and thought he’d forgotten. I was planning on laughing at his discomfort when I handed him the card ... I might have called him a lazy bastard too! he got me wine n chocolate so the jokes on me. Neither of us care

Hahaha sounds like something that would happen in this house Grin

You need to check yourself.

Poor bloke ! Don't worry about getting him something next year as I'm sure he won't be getting you anything either Grin

What a load of bollocks

Dieu · 14/02/2020 08:40

Jesus wept people, it's unfunny BUT is meant to be lighthearted.

zasknbg · 14/02/2020 08:40

I think the point is that he deliberately made op think he hadn’t got her anything to provoke her? I’m not sure though.

zasknbg · 14/02/2020 08:41

Valentine’s Day needs abolishing though

Shame there isn’t a vote

LolaSmiles · 14/02/2020 08:41

I was hoping there'd be some valentine's threads today. Grin

Ha, I'm guessing this is light hearted, and most of those words are added for drama!

I understand a little of what you feel. DH suggested exchanging cards and gifts in a more relaxed time after work. An amazon box has sat on the side unopened for a few days so I guessed he hasn't had time to wrap it yet. I haven't written his card yet as I thought I had all day. All good, only actually he had opened and wrapped and put back in the box to try to fool me.

Now I have a card and gift and he just has a gift. I'll write the card today. I'm still feeling bad about it, but also a little put out that his trick has lead to this! It'll pass in he next 10 minutes, but I think I know where you're coming from!

I can’t get worked up over Valentine’s Day, I forgot it was today Grin

We never bother, can’t help but feel it’s for people who want to show off their lovely non existent lifestyle - sorry Op I’m turning rather bitter Grin

I think this is meant to be lighthearted too

BirdieFriendBadge · 14/02/2020 08:44

What an earth?

Just do what I'm doing (exact same situation) day a big thanks. Enjoy your beautiful flowers. And he gets a BJ later.

Better than any gift in my DHs book. Grin

Loubeale · 14/02/2020 08:45

I’m sure there’s something he’d appreciate more than anything else Grin

Apirateslifeforme · 14/02/2020 08:45

Sorry OP. I think your husband probably feels like hes living in the twilight zone.
Cant do right either way.

Trying2310 · 14/02/2020 08:46

Are you in year 8 and is your dh husband really your first boyfriend?! Grow up and apologise to your husband for being such a dramatic diva.

thewinkingprawn · 14/02/2020 08:46

We actively agree not to do it - load of manufactured old bollocks.

Berrymuch · 14/02/2020 08:48

Maybe he has cheated and feels guilty? More than likely this is just a stealth boast, so just enjoy the flowers.

eenymeenyminyme · 14/02/2020 08:49

You sound like a bit of a diva I'm afraid. Poor guy can't win can he?

Beau20 · 14/02/2020 08:49

There is no way you are married.
