*sigh* They think they're trying. We say we need a car, they bring us a Hot Wheels ferrari. We need food, they bring us wax fruit. We need a vacation, they turn on the National Geographic channel. I mean,... there is an effort, but it's like an alien listening to us through a translator they bought off Temu. Yep.... the people at office were all like Valentines day is so busy florist probably made the mistake and your spouse is trying..... they do not see how all effort ALWAYS stops short of the mark. did not even have anything on card like LOVE, X just happy valentines day no name .... if they came and he had not said anything how would i know who they were from? 2 thoughts: 1) To keep the peace. Him keeping up the fake mask, so he can say " look what I did". The reality is, he did it for himself. As a mentor friend told me " when you give ,you do get something back, it may not be what you want, but you do get something back". In this case it's more the reverse, you received a bread crumb, and he received a full coarse meal -in his mind- Deflecting. 2) The old dangling of the carrot- moving of the goal post. More deflecting,changing of the subject. A lot of Valentines Day is like that for many people, including those who aren't in a SM. People get all caught up in the commercialism of the man made holiday, and forget about the intimacy/sex part. Stay on coarse my friend, and pat yourself on the back for having the courage and the knowledge to see the truth and deal with it appropriately. For every time you fall and get back up it makes you stronger! |

Well I had a good wank yesterday afternoon, Happy Valentine's to me Haha (Do I sound bitter?) Didn't expect anything, but still feeling pissed off after my 65th birthday no-event. I tend to immerse myself in my hobby, laser engraving. That way I can avoid talking to her, and only make an appearance upstairs (my workshop is in the walk out basement with lovely big windows and patio door) for dinner and to watch the TV news.
As luck would have it, my laser machine started acting up on sunday and then totally quit firing the laser altogether. Its also Chinese New Year (where all good electronics come from). After some troubleshooting I ascertained there is a break in the wiring going to the laser head. The manufacturer contacted me yesterday (after their holiday) and resolved to get the issue sorted asap (the machine is shy of 2 months old). So, I have been unable to enjoy my hobby the last few days, driving me nuts as I had got very accustomed to being able to lose myself in it. Replacement part will arrive in about a week or so only :-( |

One for my ex-wife:
Happy Valentine's Day. I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you today.........for one brief second......and how sorry the last five years of our sexless marriage were.......as I admired my beautiful girlfriend, right before I gave her the 3 carat diamond ring and asked her to be my wife. P.S. She said "Yes!". Passionate sex will be sure to follow.
So, I won't be thinking about you any more. Wishing you a great life!

I hope that's how mine ends.  |
