Siince he was out of town for our first Valentine's Day, when we'd just started seeing each other, Valentine's 2006 was the first that my husband and I were together. I worked so hard making him a romantic dinner, getting all fixed up, making him a card, and, yes, having flowers delivered for him at work. However, on Valentine's, he seemed so uncharacteristically blase' over the whole thing (he is normally very romantic) that I wondered what I had done wrong. Well, a few days later, he finally let me in on the secret: he hates Valentine's Day. He had never said so before, but he and his ex were married on that day! His was an extremely nasty divorce, and she treated him badly during the marriage, so Valentine's only serves as a reminder of what he considers the biggest mistake he ever made! Needless to say, we pick our own day to get romantic and leave the traditional Valentine's Day alone. And yes...he enjoys getting flowers, but he prefers plants, as do I. They don't die...
