how did your Valentine weekend go ?

I hope all of you here are enjoying the weekend either with your H or MM. Mine is spent with my mom as she is visiting. Since my MM is always away in some warm state with his wife every year, I never get to spend this day with him. Last year he called and wished me a Happy V Day but didn't send any flowers 'cos he was too afraid that his florist will find out about our A. This year, he got smarter and sent it via FTD and I got some nice roses in the office on Friday. He gave me a card before he left and I wasn't supposed to open it until today. So he did everything except call me on Friday. I was a little upset since I would much prefer to hear his voice than get flowers. Since he left a couple of weeks ago, we have only talked once. Part of the problem is due to the bad cell coverage down there and the only time he can talk is if his W is out shopping. They spend most of the time together since they only bring one car. When he is in town, we talk once daily so I miss the daily routine.

I kept having silly thoughts on Friday since I didn't get a call and got a little emotional ( but had to hide it from my mom). Then he called this afternoon while I was out in the mall and the bad connection made it difficult to talk again. I had to cut him off since my mom was waiting and didn't want her to get suspicious. May sound silly but it is amazing what one call can do to my emotions. I know, now, that he is still thinking about me on this V day !! I miss him terribly but then try telling myself not to read too much into one day. One thing for sure is the culture we live in put too much pressure for lovers on this day. We should be able to exchange our love daily and live like 2/14 daily. That maybe it is the only way to make us live happier and the relationship last longer.

Good luck to you all !! Please share your V day stories with the board.

DH forgot MM remembered..

Well, I was half expecting a gift from DH (atleast flowers), but he did not even know it was Val-day!!! So gave him a kiss and reminded him. I got him no gift (as we are saving for some summer projects), but had planned a fun evening. Had baked some of his favorite goodies, sent him a Valentines on his cell, and in his email at work.

And MM, sent the most elegant online card with a very beautiful unique flower, with the most tender of touches. What a suprise! How could I even think he would not remember. It is the second Valentines and he still remembers. I had made one for him (on the PC), that I didn't know if I SHOULD send, but have now, because he really made me feel special, and I want him to feel the same.

No comparison, just facts please. I can not tell you the last time DH remembered (sad).

And the rest of you, tell tell....

PS Congrats on the flowers, to you and the rest of the wonderful queens who received them!

I hadn't seen my darling since October 26-long story short-we live 250 miles apart, and are both married-we are old high school friends who reconnected and found love and passion 40 years later.

We were together last night, and were able to spend the night together for the first time. How I loved waking up next to him!

He asked that I wear thigh high stockings-I complied. We met, he felt my legs under the table, we had a couple drinks, and were off! He found 2 cards on the windshield of his car. Unfortunately, I had to bring them back with me. We didn't want to risk him taking them home. I gave him a little book of quotes from his favorite author, which he can keep. A rose was waiting for me.He couldn't find a card that said what he wanted. He told me instead. We made love like a couple of high school kids in the back seat of a car-we're 57, so youngsters, there's hope!!!, talked, laughed, ate the snacks I brought. He got a massage, and then we fell asleep together. This morning we snuggled, spooned, made love, took a shower, had a bit of breakfast. My sweetheart then had to make the long drive home.

I don't know when I'll see him again. It's possible to be deliriously happy, and desparately miserable at the same time.

It started off bad with missing our weekly Friday morning. But then I got the flowers and it got better from there. Saturday morning was nothing short of amazing. It was magic. I'll stop there since this is not one of the sex boards, but suffice it to say I've never felt anything like it in my life. This morning we had something new and unique accidentally happen to us, which was lots of fun and is now opened the lines of communication in an area we've needed to be in, so that was great and positive, too. A wonderful weekend, all in all.

Legs,

What I'd like to know, is what's wrong with your marriages that you feel you need to mess around with someone else? Or is it just the fantasy of being young again with your HS friend?

What did your H do for Valentine's day?

Just curious.

Longlegs:

I know how you feel about being happy and miserable at same time. You and I are in the same boat. I am married and my MM is 500 miles away and we spent the night together back in November, in which we bonded emotionally very much...it was awesome.

My MM called me Friday and said he loves and misses me and wants to see me...and that he will wait for me to move back to his town...even if he grows old. He even asked me to make love to him in mind that night and he would make love to me in his mind too *sigh*. I received his card on Saturday..and forgive me but I must write how the card read to see what you guys think:

Once my life was empty,

and so was my heart.

But now you've filled both.

I know we'll never part.

How wonderful to know we've found the way!

To my love, Happy Valentines Day.



Then he wrote "Missing you very much", Love (his name)

I will call him tomorrow to ask if he really means this..am i nuts? Reading his card made me wonder if he maybe got my card mixed up with his w. I love him very much and we have discussed a future together yet I am getting nervous. He tempts me to just pack up and go to him *sigh* ~Cheetah~

Hey there, I do a lot for my H than you think. This V'day I made home cooked meal for him from scratch and took him to a place which he likes to visit a lot. And you know what - I do cook for him from the scratch most of the days than that your accusing finger would, head.

Hi everyone, had an okay weekend. H got me a little something, nothing romantic though. I did not hear from MM but that's not unusual for the weekend, and we normally don't exchange cards or anything anyways.

But we are going to see each other tomorrow hopefully for our afternoon rendezvous.

So that will definitely make up for the lack of sex on the weekend!! Take care everyone,

Dusty

Hey guys! My A is pretty new so MM and I never talked about V-Day at all, until the day before and he was like I wanted to get you something but I wasn’t sure if I should yada, yada, yada, anyway when I saw him later that afternoon. He surprised me with an adorable stuffed dog, which is fine because I love stuffed animals. He said he absolutely had to get me something. I sent him a really nice e-card so I’m actually the one who feels lame! And my V-day with my BF was actually crappy caused we had like 2 giant blow up arguments during the day. So a much better V-day with MM and I got to see him last night too and it was awesome!

Oh and Opal, ignore Big Red, she is obviously in the wrong place if she is going to point fingers, or ask rude pointed questions, she does not belong here. I hate to be mean, but this is the last place any of us want to be attacked or accused. We come here for comfort and everyone will find that from the majority of us let’s just hope the naysayers get the hint and leave.
