This has been one of the worst Valentines Days I've had in such a long time. :c I just.. I just need to complain, because if I don't do something (like write) I'm going to go lay down and cry. A lot.

I love my husband, and I know he loves me... But he is a stereotypical man. He sometimes forgets things only men on television forget.

Now, work keeps him away from me. And I deal. It's almost over (finally, hurray!) and he comes home when he can. Last year he weasled into coming home for me. This year, not so much. So, what do I do? That's right, I deal.

Now, I'd be nice to get flowers or something "foofoo" like a teddy bear or to get a balloon or any little thing that says he cares. However, I don't expect them. I just want him to call me and talk to me so we can pretend we're together and enjoying this holiday and some time together. Apparently being sick the past few days has given him laryngitis.

I am beyond upset. He can't call me and talk to me as he can barely speak and it hurts like hell to try. I'm really, really upset. Now, like I said, I don't except anything.. But if he can't call (and apparently he's has it for a while,) and knows it.. He should've done /something/. I feel like a mean, terrible bitch for saying it.. But a card in the mail would've even be nice. Just /something/. If he knew he couldn't call me today (technically yesterday now), he shouldn't have waited until today to tell me, and he should've made other arrangements to make up for it.

Of course, I don't tell him a think. I quietly handle my day in stride, running errands and working until just about one in the morning. Overtime, of course.

Now, before I get a bunch of crap from people about "Valentines Day is no big deal stop being a bitch," or something.. Just don't. Seriously. Don't. I already feel like crap.. And it's not really the holiday! I mean, it sort of it.. But it's the fact that it's a time for us to spend together and make it special.. And now it's all ruined.

That sucks, my boyfriend did something similar the first year we dated, he didn't have money to buy me anything, but he could have at least made me a card or something. Sometimes they just don't understand that it hurts us, usually V-day isn't as big a deal for them.

Yeah... It sucks. The worst part is.. I know he feels bad (and saying this is the nicest possible way) he's just not smart enough to fix it? Like, he knew he couldn't call and felt guilty.. But didn't think of any solution, like sending me roses through a service or a card in the mail. The second being a really cheap fix that would've made my heart melt, because it would've reminded me he loves me.. But he just.. Is.. Id don't know.

Happy... Er.. What's the Subeta name for Valentine's day? Epidemic Survival day? Lol.

Yeah, the important part is that he feels bad, at least it shows he cares, even if he didn't do anything else.

It is important, and it makes me feel better... But it also makes me feel bad. Like, guilty and ashamed of myself, because I still feel miffed with him/depressed over it.

did you get HIM anything? im married for 9 years and its a 50/50 deal babe. you gotta give a little to get a little.

No, but as I said, our original plan was to talk for Valentines Day. That's all I wanted. Then he got laryngitis and waited until the actual day to tell me. So, I had no means of planning ahead. He did. I would've liked a card in the mail at least if he couldn't call. Mostly I wish he would've let me know so we could've planned ahead. A heartfelt little card would've been just as nice as an all night phone call where I am sure we'd just repeat how much we miss each other and can't wait for him to come home.
