Is anyone else besides me gonna feel lonely on Feb 14th?

No I won't be feeling lonely. I don't want to be in a committed relationship right now (no time, among other things). Besides if I get lonely there's always porn or hookers.

I'm going to be feeling a little down, but for different reasons. I have been married to a beautiful woman for over twenty years. She recently told me she doesn't love me and never has. She said I'm a nice guy and all, but she knew she made a mistake when she married me. She feels trapped in our marriage because of finances and children and religion. So on Valentine's day, when you feel lonely, remember that I love someone who doesn't love me - she never has and likely never will. Where do you find a "I love you but I know it hurts you to know it" card? She'd rather be lonely then be with me. She admits to being the 'bad guy', and wants out. I feel so bad for her, and for me too.

Jeez that's a terrible situation moses... I obviously can't offer much in the way of practical advice, but I sympathize with your situation. Keep posting if you need to vent, WP is behind you all the way.

I used to feel lonely on Valentine's Day, but now I've realized love is pointless and that there's no need for me to feel lonely.

After 20 or so times, you get used to it

V D day (valentines day, not venereal disease(hmm, maybe both)) is just bs anyway.

I wouldn't buy a vd day card just on principle, no matter what.

Most likely...yes, but that's not entirely certain for a change. That'd be nice, finally a year where it isn't a guaranteed Singles Awareness Day celebration involving massive amounts of alcohol.

hmm.

I'm gonna buy a couple of cards and a flower or two for a couple of women friends of mine. and other then that..........I'm not expecting anything.

I love Valentines.

the fact taht I'm single.......meh.

how many cards and flowers you may ask?

uhm......lesse.......probably two. one card and flower for one person and one card and flower for another person.

first time I read that I thought you had typed

"I would buy a VD day card just on principle"

thinking you were proposing some horrible joke holiday called venereal disease day

when I realized what you had actually typed it was a snidge bit of a letdown, but I realized I must share

I was always alone on that day...

I despise St Valentines day with a passion. It wouldn't bother me that I've never had a card, but when I was at school there was a "postal service" run by one of the classes that would deliver cards to other students for a nominal fee which was given to charity. Everyone went wild about it and sent lots of them (it was a bit of fun for charity, after all). Each year every pupil would send and receive at least 6 of them and line them up on their desks. Mine was the only empty desk in the class, and the cards I sent were usually put in the bin if the recipient figured out who they were from (pretty easy, my hand writing was attrocious). I know this is whiny bitching compared with being married to someone who doesn't love you, but it did really hurt. All the commercial fuss and lovey-doveyness displayed at this time of year just serves to remind me that I'm still not worth the effort.

I don't see why people let valentines day affect them.. what's the big deal? I've never been with anyone on that day, ever, and if I was I wouldn't act any differently, because I think it's pointless.

Atomika, there is no need to be so rude. Even though, I know what you mean. I have gotten a bit sick of KBABS constant comments and overprotection of relationships in regards to Starbuline, but that was totally unprovoked.

i'll feel very lonely this valentines- not in the way you may think either--
moreso emotionally devoid..... i have a boyfriend but amidst my many attempts, i can't silence how i feel for another person. I kind of find myself thinking that if i do silence how i feel, i'll be suffocating myself more than i am now...

i was rejected by the one that i like (outside my relationship).... and as obsessive as that sounds.... i can't silence my heart. so i'm right up there with you guys...lol thats why i have so much love inside for the people of WP

PS: i've gotten so good when it comes to valentines day that i can now use a "shut on/off" valve for valentines and many holidays... i can turn off my emotions or turn them up with little fuss and disruption..

PPS: (yeahh yeahhh tequila and gamester i know i'm flucking pathethic....) but the sad part is that he now feels the same for me and i know it.... lol and he HATES valentines day....thinks its too commercial- my response to him "valentines day doesn't suck so bad when you have someone to share it with..."

I would be lonely in that I don't have a girlfriend. But not lonely because I have a good support system with my family, and all of you on WP.

But you are worth it, as am I, as are we all. My wife just doesn't realize how much happiness and joy she is missing out on. No matter how I try, it isn't enough. I often think my epitaph should be 'Not Good Enough'. If fact, I even created a simple web site called www.not-good-enough.com.

The whole point is that we are each of unimaginable value. Sometimes we can's see it, and often others don't or won't see it, but it is still true. It isn't receiving a card that proves you are worth it. All it does is make us "feel" special, but that "specialness" was always there.

I have me Routemasters.

Of course I'm going to feel lonely.
