AIBU To want to completely show off my Valentines present?

So a bit of context... split with my girls Dad 2 1/2 years ago who was a completely abusive, narcissistic a* and put up with years of horrible behaviour from him, having a really tough time at the moment with my daughter going through mental health issues and some work stress so life is far from peachy. But three months ago met possibly one of the nicest people, have completely fallen for this unbelievably thoughtful and wonderful man and yesterday he cemented just how thoughtful he was. He gave me two paintings based on a style we recently saw in a gallery Which I loved (picture accompanied by song lyrics)- the song he chose was madness- must be love (which we listened to live at a Christmas market and really shared a moment where we both knew we were falling for each other), One picture was of us at the Christmas market and the other under an umbrella in the rain at a recent weekend away. It’s the nicest present I’ve ever been given- so special and so romantic! I finally feel like it’s my turn for love. Am I being unreasonable to want to tell all my friends, family and anyone who will listen? 😁

Enjoy and share the love
Just don't only talk about him!

Now that’s a gorgeous present!

I don't know you, but I'm really pleased for you. All the best for your future happiness with your lovely man

ReadySteadyTwins · 15/02/2022 19:46

Ah, that's lovely! Congratulations!!

And personally, I'd just tell people as they come round and see the lovely paintings, just incase anyone's had a proper shit valentine's and won't appreciate how wonderful yours was.

You've told the whole of Mumsnet, enjoy this thread, and I'm happy you've met someone so lovely Flowers

What a lovely present. Thoughtful from beginning to end!
He sounds like a keeper, wishing you every happiness.

KIMBOHO · 15/02/2022 19:59

Oh yes, that’s a good point actually! Maybe I will just keep it to tell people when they see the paintings ☺️ Perhaps it is enough to tell the world of mumsnet and read these lovely messages!

Are they paintings of photos? Sounds really thoughtful
