And it wasn't me... I'm so flippin fuming. It came in post yesterday and we been racking our brains who it may be. He thought it was me winding him up at first he's really amused by it and made a big deal of it on fb asking who it was, which I told him not to its giving whoever the attention. I'm really freaked out by it. I know by his reaction he's not got a clue who it is we've thought of a few people who may of sent it for a joke but they've denied it. They knew our full adress apart from last part of postcode and they know his full name. Maybe I'm over reacting but really annoyed by it. Card wasn't anything special was just a basic hallmark 1 and handwriting deffinately looks like a females. It was his birthday last week and and been comparing handwriting on his cards but not come up with anything.

I bet he sent it to himself to keep you on your toes.

God, I can't believe some people would take it so seriously! Surely the last thing the averagely canny OW would do is send a Valentine's card to his home address? Is it not more likely to be a harmlessly mischievous attempt to get him guessing by a friend or female relative?

(My father was regularly sent anonymous Valentine's cards in his 50s, and was baffled for years until it emerged that a woman who lived down the road with her elderly mother and had significant MH issues when she didn't take her medication had developed a crush on him. It became something of a running joke between my parents until she once showed up in the early hours at the door in a nightdress and coat asking him to come and change a lightbulb in her bedroom...)

Haha cheers all. I'm more frustrated atm as I don't know who its from. Anyone else I'd be saying same as most of you and laugh it off. I'm sure we will find out in the end

Could it be from his mum maybe?

Phalenopsis · 11/02/2014 17:27

I'm really freaked out by it.

Do you not trust him OP?

OH got one last year. We never found out who'd sent it. He wandered around with a big head for a couple of days, same as when checkout assistants go moony eyed at him. Silly sod. Grin

hickorychicken · 11/02/2014 17:27

I would find this really funny, but we are totally secure in our relationship and trust one another. It is probably a mate.
If its someone trying to cause trouble dont rise to it. If you are on fb put a status saying how funny you both found it and can the sender come and collect him now Smile

DrNick · 11/02/2014 17:31

mostly mama - thats a bit harsh, isnt it? Smile

LoveUall · 11/02/2014 17:31

Haha funny as I wrote this earlier it popped in my head he did it himself but not sure why he would, he's tight anyway finds it hard enough to buy me 1. Don't think his mum would she's never in the past so why now. There are 2 mates and his sister who are top of our lists for wind up but they all deny it. There is someone else not going to go in details but had problems years ago not sure why she would start now but then she was a weird 1. I haven't got a short temper or anything either I'm pretty laid back so I think anyway so don't think that would be why

If i got one I would be a bit spooked tbh
I cant imagine someone sending one to a married person as a joke without SIGNIFICANT signposting that this is a funny thing to do and them kind of being in on the joke

supadupapupascupa · 11/02/2014 17:37

at the end of the day, if the sender wanted to be known they would not be anonymous about it or would leave some sort of clue that he might guess. I find people who send anonymous cards a bit weird to be honest. I mean what is the point exactly?

Elderberri · 11/02/2014 17:39

Pmsl@ hoobie, no one messes with her man.

Jan45 · 11/02/2014 17:40

One, I'd be impressed someone fancied my man and two, I'd be annoyed not knowing who it's from, but not angry.

DrNick · 11/02/2014 17:41

i would be VERY suspicious I think.
SOunds like an EA to me

dons deer stalker

LoveUall · 11/02/2014 17:45

Yes I do trust him 1oo% I'm not worried about affairs if he wanted to he would of by now. I'm just more annoyed because obviously whoever it was knows he's married so a jke or not the card could cause trouble between us. It hasn't though just baffled to finmd out who it was. I do hope its a joke and even if someone with a crush that's ok as long as they know nothing will happen

Oh probilly nothing but last week had an argument with my brother in law, wouldn't of thought he would think of anything like that but we've not spoke since

OP posts:
Showy · 11/02/2014 17:50

I'm as secure in my relationship as the next person but I wouldn't find it funny. Because it's not funny. Maybe my SOH is too sophisticated. WinkGrin

I'd find it quite odd tbh. And inappropriate. Somebody did send DH a Valentine's card once. She also stalked him and threatened suicide when he tried to gently get her to stop. I think that means I'd find it upsetting rather than funny.

It's just a strange thing to do. And mildly unsettling.

LoveUall · 11/02/2014 17:50

Don't say the word stalker lol

OP posts:
LoveUall · 11/02/2014 17:52

Oh god showy, that's what I'm worried about. Its crossed my mind but I have a very vivid imagination. I will of course keep you all posted if/when we find out who it is

OP posts:
Juliaparker25 · 11/02/2014 17:52

It was me ...............I cant live without him ..............

GlitzAndGiggles · 11/02/2014 17:56

Isn't the whole point of v day cards to not know who the sender is orr was that just in school?

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 11/02/2014 18:02

One of his mates taking the piss. It's nothing.

patienceisvirtuous · 11/02/2014 18:04

Some weirdo once sent my dad an anonymous love letter. It had some very unsettling stuff in there such as they would watch him doing his regular hobby but would focus on one area of his anatomy Shock

My dad was freaked out but it amused my mam no end!

LoveUall · 11/02/2014 18:05

I understand people have crushes etc sometimes with people you shouldn't but it would never cros my mind to send a card to a married man, anonymous or not I mean anonymous what's the point? I do think its a silly joke and I am going to try forget it but I'm eager to know who it is

OP posts:
MostlyMama · 11/02/2014 18:06

No, I don't think it was. :)

hickorychicken · 11/02/2014 18:06

Lol patience thats made my day Grin Grin Grin
