My husband hates Valentine's Day with a passion.
I'm pretty sure he feels like it is a setup for every man to get in trouble year after year...
His thought is, "If I'm going to be nice to you why does it have to be on a specific day?!"
I love the man but he has never been one for sentimental things... He's a man's man that grew up with lots of man's men so needless to say I have learned to excuse it and honestly, I find his dislike for it it all quite comical!
I mean the first year we were dating he gave me chocolates and the movie "Just Friends". Should I have taken a hint??
When we were dating he joking told me he "was planning to set the bar really low so that when he did something sweet I would think he was the most wonderful thing ever."
....And it worked!
Unfortunately, I was not too bright and have spoiled him from day one!
Last year we tried the "don't do anything for me because we are poor college students bit" while we were both secretly worried that the other would do something. As always, I cheated and bought him something and in turn got nothing because I had come up with the stupid idea to do nothing when in all reality I think I simply wanted him to acknowledge that it was Valentine's.
After this saga I now understand why men think we are crazy and can never understand us!
This year for Valentine's I told him not to do anything for me again...
Immediately he put his guard up and wanted to know what kind of sick game I was playing as he began having flashbacks to last year.
I have been telling him the best gift he could give me are the keys to our new house!
If all goes as planned we really might get to close on Monday!
And if he really wants to buy me something I told him I wanted this new lens for my camera...
