[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 407310, member: 3907"] Valentine's Day strikes me as one of unmet expectations and dashed hopes. It's built up as The Most Romantic Day Of The Year, and inevitably someone ends up disappointed -- either your husband/boyfriend/wife/girlfriend/assorted didn't get you just what you were hoping for, or they went to a lot of trouble and you didn't reciprocate and now feel guilty, or you're alone this year and assuming that everyone except you is having the Best Day Ever. I remember when I was little and we would do the card exchanges in school, it was a different variant of the same story. There would be one little boy or girl who wasn't very popular or socially adept, and would get two or only one, or sometimes no Valentine's wishes from friends. It was heartbreaking. I never had much time for it when I was younger, and I have even less time or patience for it now. I'm awfully grateful that my husband feels the same way. [/QUOTE]
