Valentine's Day is normally a rough day for me, I work in a florist. I spend my day wrapping flowers and packing up chocolates and hearing what all these gentlemen have planned for their wives/girlfriends. I come home exhausted and tired...its just overall draining.
I had talked to Wes on Monday and asked if I should expect anything on Tuesday, he replies "maybe". Well I took that to mean I should expect something. Well nothing came before I left for work this morning, and nothing had come while I was there. Needless to say massive disappointment. I'd had this sinking feeling all day that I was going to come home to nothing and it happened. I broke down when I stepped in the door and found nothing. He knows I don't need materialistic things. A card, a romantic letter...doesn't have to be anything big. But nothing?...
When I talked to Wes later he admitted that he forgot to mail my valentines gift out til Saturday night and didn't mail it until Monday. Now if I made that mistake I'd be next daying it because I would want it there on the day or at the latest the day after. But he sent it flat rate mail, meaning I won't get it for a week. He said he figured since he already messed up why bother. That really doesn't make me feel good about myself or about this relationship.
After him saying he didn't care what I was saying, then him obviously not caring about sending me something for valentines to show me he loves me, I'm so disheartened. I'm so unhappy...I just don't know what to do anymore. Part of me thinks he'd be happier being single like all his buddies. Guess all I can do is wait to see what exactly he sent me a week late.

Sometimes I feel like comments are more you should feel this way not the way you feel. When I know that my rant was completely unwarranted but it was how I felt at the time. Maybe I'm just used to people taking my side lol!

#6squeeker commentedFebruary 15, 2012, 10:37 PMEditing a commentI'm sorry if my comment sounded critical or anything, I understand that not getting it on time would still feel a bit disappointing, and I guess with me I was prewarned basically and he didn't say to expect anything, though he was hoping it would get here on time, it still hasn't come. I just wanted to offer advice, because I saw our situations as kinda similar and thought it might be useful. I guess it makes it worse when you sent something edible that wouldn't be as good the longer it sat. You're completely able to rant here, I should really reread my posts to make sure they don't come off the wrong way. I hope the gift gets to you soon and you guys can open your presents together and enjoy it

#7rubydissolution commentedFebruary 16, 2012, 12:40 AMEditing a commentSee that was what I was most angry about, that I didn't have any warning. That I went into Valentines expecting something to come and it didn't. That he decided after I was already in tears disappointed to tell me he forgot. That's where the most hurt came from. I'm sorry to both Squeeker and Eclaire I didn't want to come off saying I didn't want your input. I truely appreciate it. I just felt really blindsided yesterday.
