jsfantome's Journal, 14 Feb 12

Lucky me...my husband is a non-conformist! What the heck does that mean? - It means we won't be doing anything special for Valentine's. He doesn't like the 'pressure' of being told when to say I love you! He doesn't like the commercialism of it all, he doesn't like to get overpriced flowers, or fight crowds at a restaurant, or 'waste' money on some expensive piece of jewelry, just because some ad on TV tells him he should!

Lucky me! LOL!!

HOWEVER - I will say, he picks his battles wisely! Some time in the coming days or weeks, he will surprise me. And I will likely get all of the above, or some equivalent - but it will be of his choosing, at his timing, and when he decides he wants to participate! LOL!!!

I kinda like not knowing when it will be coming. And I kinda like surprises. I think every person is different, and he is definitely not a 'gifts' kind of person. He is much more receptive to feeling loved by the 'things I do for him' than by the things I buy for him.

I am more of a gifts person! ;) And even though it took more than 20 years for him to figure this out... he is getting much better at it! ;)

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Much Love

My DH is the same way, feeling like Valentine's Day is just a commercial venture. What a nice gesture, however, to end up giving you whatever makes you feel special just a short time later! Enjoy your upcoming holiday(s)!!!

thanks Sandy! I've learned to have fun with it...and not take it to heart. He can spoil me and tell me he loves me the other 364 days a year!!! LOL! (and he usually does:)

Oh I love valentines day even if I don't have a valentine. At least he shows you he loves you and not just on valentines day! Sweet!

Ok, well - he sort of caved to the pressure! What's my favorite flower? Cali-Lillies! And man are they beautiful! And HUGE! He did good! ;)

That's such a sweet thought. I have to say that I agree with your husband. I always hated getting something on Valentine's day and hated the pressure of gift giving. Enjoy the flowers and any other surprises he has in store.
