Yeah, I always though the idea of Valentines Day was just plain stupid. It's basically society telling you that you have to go out and buy something to show your significant other that you love them. I mean, how awesome is it to get something when it's expected and they feel pressured to buy it for you?? It would be much more meaningful for me to have my s.o. get me something because they wanted to and not felt like they had to. You know, a surprise gift or dinner out of the blue just because??

^^he's been deployed for what? a few days? Sounds like you have a long year ahead of you.
He's been away for a month. Am I not worth waiting for?! He gets to come home for R&R in 5 more months and he can't even wait. Idk what to do.:'(

exactly. i'd rather be bought a gift because he wanted to, not because it's feb 14th and the world says he had to.

V-Day sucks ass!!!!!! Not only I was alone because my hubby is deployed, but the mf told me that him being away for a year is very long so we should try new things and that he and some other guys decided that they would be with the other army girls there. Then he had the fukin nurves to tell me that I shouldn't be upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been crying my ass off all day!
The phrase coined by someone on here is: dump his ass already!! No woman should be treated that way...the longer you stay with him the worse off you are. Get out now while you still have dignity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day
it started for a good reason then turned into 'make someone feel like shit' day. you feel like shit if you are alone, you feel like shit if you can't afford a gift, you feel like shit because someone used the holiday to break your heart, you feel like shit if you s/o didn't do something nice for you, or you feel like shit because every one else feels like shit. i don't celebrate holidays any more. they are just rituals people started to remember that something significant happened on that day years ago and then some shihead saw money in it. now no one remembers why they are practicing the ritual any more and i refuse to give someone my money for it. i can stop and remember someone's deeds and silently thank them beyond the grave for helping us along, but that is no reason for me to expect jewelry of gifts and to hang lights or anything else because it is pointless.
we can no longer celebrate the people the holidays are remembering but are instead selfish and make it all about us. i fall victim to this..but i try to remember that the day isn't about me, its about some dude who wanted to marry people and was killed for it. possibly because of him military men can marry and i appreciate that. i don't need to get fat on chocolate to be thankful. birthdays are about us, other holidays are about remembering history. this is why i HATE VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!! and all other holidays..just my rant.
i hate that the world needs to make single people feel like shit over this holiday. it is all for money. if they can guilt you into needing a lover so you can feel important for that one day a year so they can make a new quota...sell some expensive stuff...whatever..i will see those people in hell. they will be my bitches. there needs to be a "feel good about yourself and sleep in cuz you deserve it" day.

but you have the house to yourself, right? Or do you just want to be close to your parents?
Either way, I think you are doing the right thing.

Yea I have the house to myself. My parents also live about 15 minutes away from me but I guess I'm just a little down on the situation and need them to comfort me. My so called hubby messaged me saying that he's sorry and that nothing happened and that he was "about to" but didnt because he didn't feel right. I'm thinking if we are married there shoukdn't have been a "about to" that even came to mind.

i have a boyfriend, but i think valentines day is an absolute crock of shit.
we don't need Hallmark to tell us when we should buy each other gifts.
i suppose i'm biased, because it's very possible that i am the most un-romantic creature on the face of this earth. flowers and romance make me violent. i hate hate hate hate hate it.
According to the few women who have been in my life, as long as I am alive, NOBODY can be the most un-romantic creature on earth. In fact, my most recent ex tells her friends that my idea of romantic music is the University of Texas fight song.

Yikes Lyric, that's some fucked up shit. :(
As for the Vday thing, I hate the commercialism of it all but I love an excuse to do something neato for my guy. It's become tradition for me to handmake my cards for him (fuck you Hallmark, fuck you right in your stupid asses).
Examples are over HERE (http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83621)
Warning, no romance or mushiness involved! :)
