To be FURIOUS DH just presented me with a massive bouquet for Valentines Day?

[Desperelda]

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!

Half term here but if for real if I were the DH I would not come back.

He said he didn't get you anything, and you didn't get him anything either. Yet you called him a bastard?! He didn't call you rude names for not buying anything. What is wrong with you? Seriously? The normal response would be to say thank you and pick up something later?! Please be kind to each other, life's too short to fall out over silly things.

Ah Valentines day, the day for love and lovers.

All the fun sponges saying Valentine's day should be abolished.

Fine if you don't like it, don't celebrate it. Your choice.

I don't celebrate St Patrick's Day day or Chinese New Year, Diwali etc, etc but I don't feel the need to piss on the chips of those who do.

I thought the FURIOUS was over the carbon footprint of the gift ....

The joys of Valentine's Day.

Wait one month and we'll have all the Mothers Day posts too.

Fine if you don't like it, don't celebrate it. Your choice

it's not the fact people celebrate it, it's the angst when they don't (or don't think they are getting) get a present or they don't get a present that they think is appropriate blah blah. Ditto Mother's Day.

So you both said that you had got nothing, but he got you flowers?

Why is it such a big deal, why couldn't you just say thanks & still just not get him anything?

We said we wouldn't bother but I picked up some chocolates yesterday.

Told husband not to bother shopping for me after work I'd rather him just come home and I mean it.

But it's up to him.

We'll share the chocs either way!

What an odd thread!!

So you blame your DH for making you angry - lovely

I can't believe people are still managing to turn this around and suggest he's abusive and/or manipulative. MN is unreal.

Please...

What did you get him on the school run?

Wow, you sound like a spoilt brat. You called him a bastard for not buying you anything?. Just wow....

You obviously both equally love a bit of drama, name calling etc. What do you want us to add?

Life is much nicer without game playing.

So you called your 'DH' a bastard for not spoiling you on valentines day, despite you not getting him anything. Turns out he had got you a lovely gift and now your hiding rather than apologising?

He should LTB, you sound like an arse!

💐

You could get him some divorce papers

V day troll peeps

He's putting you emotionally in his debt..and being manipulative seriously?

Did yi, aye.

I too would be very angry if my DH wasted money on a big bouquet of out of season flowers that had travelled to the UK by air, and are unlikely to survive a week.

I might be happier with a bunch of snowdrops from the garden. (we have masses they grow like weeds as do bluebells later in the year)

EH. If it's lighthearted it doesn't come across that way. It comes across as selfish and nasty.
You called him a bastard for not getting you anything even though you hadn't got him anything, then lied about having something for him after being surprised with a bouquet. You should be FURIOUS with yourself. And I think it's the OP that's manipulative.

Well if there was ever a definition of can't do right for doing wrong......

You're lucky he didn't go off and give the bouquet to some random stranger after that performance!
