What is wrong with me? I feel such a *****. n no end of guilt after how my nasty tongue is when I meant to give a compliment???
So, my Boyf got me a dozen of red roses delivered to my door this morning... I was happy at first... Then my head decides ' oh he's not loving enough n just wants to buy generic gift ' so my nasty tongue ' oh I thought u woulda done something different more imaginative ...' My god I feel awful. Cos he's thoughtful and near enough perfect. Maybe I feel awkward cos am not used to this kind of love and attention? My head is confused... Can anyone help or even relate to my crazy thinking?????

Aww, don't beat yourself up over your reaction. Maybe tell him you feel a little remorseful for how you reacted and display the roses in a very visible place to make amends? Make sure he knows you appreciate his efforts and all should be well.

LOL, you made out better than me. I know my man won't bother getting me a thing. Too simple and too lazy he is.

Yeah ave posted them everywhere so he knows I love them ! I just feel nasty and that now xxxx

Hi, again I'd say that you really shouldn't beat yourself up! You saw past the way you reacted and touched base on what he really means to you and what you mean to him. Maybe just talk to him, apologize and try feeling a bit more secure in the relationship?
It's clear you have feelings for him so try not to let thoughts like that stand in your way. If they come again just try walking away from them.
And congrats!! A dozen red roses!!!

thanks Alison xxx he's an amazing man. I love him so much xx

Yeah, remember...some guys are terrified of Valentine's Day. It makes them worry about the proper behaviour and do I get this and should I say this and...it goes on and on. Personally, I think VDay is useless and I'm sure my partner is 100% happy that I don't ever recognize it because it's one less thing he has to think about. But for the poor fellas out there who do celebrate, sometimes flowers are the best way to go for them. Simple, but they show that he cares. And trust me...flowers are not cheap. So he obviously appreciates you enough to give them to you. That's a good thing.

Be grateful for a gift, it's the thought that counts.

I was. I expressed it wrong x

Being able to understand clearly what your thinking was seems like a great step.

Yes, florists jack up the price for Valentine's Day... 3x? More? It's important to them like Christmas for other retailers. And also, February in the northern hemisphere is not in season for many flowers at all, certainly including roses.

But the money isn't the point, right? The point of observing V-Day is trying to give something your loved one will appreciate.

Yup xxx n I put special thought into the gift I handmade. but he obv likes it traditional for a lady. Like I said I got it wrong cos I really like them just meant I thought he would've chose something different. :s xxx
