Valentine's Day Message - not worth the card its written on?

[SAHMlikeitHOT]

Can anyone top 'from your dutiful hubby' in their valentine's card? If that was wwhat he was going to write - why did he send it?

Didn't get a card, just a text with cartoon roses and the words 'always in my heart'. Am I dead?!

I'll swap a dutiful husband or your text with cartoon roses by mine who sends much better cards (and flowers) but is a violent sob. :o (has been estranged for a year and has been dutifully ignored)

One of my friends dps just writes, in every card, her name... Followed by his. Not even a "to" a "from" or a kiss.

I think she would consider your card an upgrade!

I never get one. Ever.

Apart from being shite at remembering to buy cards etc he's alright though.

I got one from (seperated, soon to be divorced) H.

"I will always love you"

Channelling Whitney Houston? Don't think it was intentional.

Nothing here either..apart from a great shag :o ..we've been together so long we decided Valentine's was just an invention and we should ignore it.

It's a bit snidey, possibly in a jokey way, but I think it could have been worse. :)

My DH did all right - amazingly, it's the only romantic streak he shows EVER, producing decent Valentine's cards. The very first one he got me was far more lovey-dovey than I would have expected and he's continued in that vein. (sorry, not meaning to boast about it, it still amazes me that such a generally unromantic and often seemingly uncaring bloke does this!)

Is it true though? Is he dutiful? Did you get kisses too?

Arghhh - VD not worth anything, why do people bother, it's overt commercialism??

Perhaps he feels the same, just duty bound to get you a card!

How is he the other 364 days of the year?

It makes me snigger when people refer to it as "VD".

Ahhh ;) it was deliberate, I hated it when I was single, and hate it more now I'm married!

Iit was deliberate, but he possibly ignorant of meaning of dutiful as in 'going through motions but wish I didn't have to' ! He probably meant 'trying to do what's right' whereas I am concentrating on the 'even though my heart's not in it' part!!! We are in the twilight zone of giving each other the odd hug but sleeping in separate bedrooms and just haven't left each other yet because of kids...... miserable really but at least not violent (sorry Lueji).

my friend goes one better than this
bought her dh a big card, left it til last minute to write in in, only to find it said to my lovely girlfriend inside! she had to cross out gf and put dh

ouch! and actually I suppose I'm no better - I bought my 'dutiful hubby' a beautiful valentine's gift - a mug from a charity shop that said 'you make me feel like I'm floating on air' and I had the intention of adding a sticker to the bottom of the mug that said 'but not in a good way' !!! its still in the bottom of my wardrobe - so he got me before I could get him - rats!!! Sigh - how did it come to this
