So what do husbands really think about Valentine’s Day expectations –the day when we are told we should have HIGH expectations of romance, flowers, candy, diamonds from our men- and if those things are not delivered STAT, we should kick those men to the curb- here are a few sage words of advice from my husband when it comes to Valentine’s Day expectations…
“My first impressions of this holiday is that Valentine’s day is a SCAM, because it’s become so commercialized and women seem to measure their man’s love for them in terms of what present they get from their guy. But, on the flip side, it’s a sweet holiday. The truth it’s nice to be romantic now and again and on special occasions. Our women deserve to be taken care of and romanced all the time, but especially on the holidays like this, our anniversary, birthday. The truth is I think men enjoy being romantic once in a while- and although I don’t like the idea of someone telling me when I should be romantic- it’s fun to kick it up a notch and show my appreciation and love once in a while.”
The Sugar Daddy’s Valentine’s day card to me a full two weeks early ( because that’s how he rolls…)
Wait.. I had to stop him…”So you don’t think you should show me your love everyday?”
The Sugar daddy: Of course I do, but in the day to day drudgery of life, I get busy and lazy and tired and I forget to take care of the one I love.
Me: So Valentine’s Day is a good, swift kick in the butt for men?
The Sugar daddy: It has it’s good points–listen I still think it’s a commercialized scam– but I also think you deserve to be romanced every once in a while too.
Me: Yeah, yeah it’s a commercialized scam- whatever- just keep passing me those chocolates…
Commercial or not, when my husband is feeding me chocolate and telling me I’m pretty, I call it a win. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, he does nice things for me anyway, but still. It’s a day of guaranteed doting.
We don’t make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. We are pretty good about showing our love and appreciation to each other on a regular basis.
Valentine’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday. However, I do love any occasion that calls for getting chocolate.
It’s no secret that Valentine’s day is just really to sell out more sweets, cards, flowers and other gifts that men usually get their loved ones. I think it’s still sweet how people make an effort to show their loved ones that they are, indeed, loved.
I love this post! My husband and I have gotten to a point where we don’t exchange gifts and every other year gift each other cards. I do get flowers every year. 😉
We don’t usually celebrate Valentine’s Day but I love it when he makes an effort for this special day. But all his efforts are greatly appreciated, big or small.
I like that people make an effort to woo their partners during this day but I also think Valentine’s day is just an excuse to buy expensive flowers and all that. It’s sweet though!
While checking different e-commerce platforms in Indonesia, I came across https://zilingoshopping.id/ and it looks like a retail marketplace offering a mix of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products aimed at general consumers. The browsing experience feels lightweight and category-driven, which makes it easy to quickly scan through available items without much effort. In Indonesia’s mobile-first shopping environment, this type of simple structure works well for users who prefer fast, convenient online purchasing.
