Because the Calendar Says So!! – Trinity being controversial again!

No cards or flowers or chocolates for me this Valentine or any Valentine thank you very much.

Seriously if my man turned up on my doorstep on Valentines Day bearing flowers, chocolates and a card I’d ram them right where the sun is having trouble shining.

Why? I hear you gasp in horror, miserable old bat you say….well it’s like this

If he did turn up on Valentines Day bearing flowers, chocolates and a card I know he would be doing so because he thought I expected him to do it, and he would be scared I’d pull his scrotum up over his head if he didn’t, not because he really wanted to do it.

So before you go off on one because that special someone hasn’t turned up bearing gifts, or hasn’t arranged to take you out for a nice meal, just stop and think a minute, does it really mean all that much when they do it because it is expected of them, does it really mean that much to you just because it says on the calendar it’s the day of the year it SHOULD be done.

Or really, would you rather have that loving gesture come out of no-where and on a day that is special only because what makes it special is that an unexpected present was given or gesture was made.

I would rather have a hand picked half dead single flower given to me on the spur of the moment, than the whole flower shop on Valentines Day. Because then I know without a shadow of a doubt he was thinking of me, he wants to show me how much he cares, not scared that if he didn’t I’d go off on one because it was the day of the year to do it.

Look I’m as romantic as anything, but I have seen so many arguments and break-ups being caused because the Valentines day ritual hadn’t been observed it’s heart breaking, so think before you lose your head and possibly your man, is it really that important that he is romantic on a specific day of the year.

Or to put it another way, if he doesn’t do the present, card, flowers thing on Valentines Day you have a darn good excuse to take it out on his credit card a bit later on in the year.
