    I had to work Valentine’s morning, figured I’d pick up flowers on the way home. Candy for me was on the kitchen table when I woke up and the wife was crying because I “forgot” Valentine’s Day again…

      How to avoid this:

      Communicate at all with your wife. Explain, before the day, that you will have to work in the morning. Ask if she’d like to wake up super early with you or if it would be preferable to celebrate with eachother once you get home from work.

        Oh, thanks, I didn’t try any of this, and we never communicate at all! Thanks for the fucking insight.

          How in fucks name would your wife think you forgot valentines day if you communicated about the exact circumstances that would happen? You’re welcome for the insight, stranger!

                Yep, you got me dead to rights, completely understood my 12 year relationship over the course of a few comments on the Internet.

                Frankly it sounds like both of them need therapy but its pretty telling how you just assume he’s the problem as if she’s perfectly normal

                  I have no firsthand information about her so I cannot make a judgment on her. I have firsthand information about this guy, and so I can judge him on that. But sure, “pretty telling”.
