15 February 2008

Post-Valentine's Grumpiness [More:]Yesterday, instead of chocolates and such, the missus gave me her proposed separation agreement. (Not unexpected, but still, what timing!) What happened on your worst. evar. Valentine's Day?
Uh. I don't think anything I could think of can even come close to competing with that. I'm sorry, JI.

Ah, Joe Invisible! I am so sorry.

I don't have any worst ever Valentine's Day stories. If it makes you feel any better my Valentine's Day was pretty mediocre. We had leftover pizza for dinner, cards were exchanged with a just a tad of enthusiasm, and we made excuses not to go anywhere because: it's race week; we don't want to leave our dog; it's a school night; too tired, etc., etc. Every Valentine's Day we used to drive to Flagler Beach and have dinner at a great French inspired restaurant. I miss those days.

Man, that sucks. Sorry, Joe Invisible.

I'm sorry, Joe :(

I guess my worst Valentine's Day would have to be the day my great grandmother died. I was actually too young to be greatly affected by it, but I do remember my mom crying in the hallway after receiving the news by phone. That was pretty darn traumatic.

But yeah, yours definitely trumps mine. Stay strong, man.

ugh, Joe! I'm sorry. I can remember some pretty teary valentine's days - but I don't remember the details. I wish that for you on this one, futurewise.

also sorry about the pic that I just posted in the lolcats proposal thread below, before I saw this. gah.

I'm sorry, Joe!

I got dumped (totally unexpectedly) by a long-term boyfriend on Valentine's Day. I thought it was the worst thing that could have happened to me.

Now, years later, I couldn't be happier with my fiancé, so I guess it all turned out for the best. Still, it stung quite a bit at the time.

This sounds very weird, but my worst Valentine's Day was one time when there were 3 women who all wanted to be HER.

It sounds specious for me to say this was the worst, but it was actually pretty awful, with me usually putting MY needs in 4th place. I was not good at managing my life, back then.

(One of the women turned out to be my wife, and another is a good friend now, so it has a happy ending, but at the time, it was very hard.)

But, yeah, I am sorry Joe. I hope next V day, or the one after, it's a great one!

Joe Invisible, that's awful. She couldn't wait a day? I've heard similar stories, but what a terrible thing. I'm sorry.

Wow. That's straight-up cold.

That's lame, she should have waited until today.

My worst would have to be, um... all of them when I was married. My ex was in jail for one, rehab for the other two.
This year was blissful in comparison.

That's exactly what I was thinking, kellydamnit. Very lame.

Joe, that stinks. I'm so sorry. I agree that a tactful person would've waited a coupla days.

My worst Valentine's Day experiences were so disappointing, so colorless and blah, that I don't even remember them well enough to tell a story.

Is there any consolation in the thought that, after it stops stinging, this will be the winning tale with which you regale friends during the "worst V-Day ever" competition?
posted by Elsa 15 February | 11:45
Wow, sorry to hear that JI.

Awww, man.

NOT cool on VDay, and tough enough on any day. Very UNcool on VDay.

Take good care of yourself. You'll come through and be better off.
posted by shane 15 February | 14:02
Yeah. Why the eff couldn't she have waited a day? Sorry, Joe.
posted by Specklet 15 February | 14:35
That completely sucks. And separation is a case of "I'm not married any more, but I'm not married any less either." I got to spend about 3 1/2 years in that limbo myself. BTDT, I sympathize completely.

This V-day I spent emailing back and forth with a lady who desperately wants us to continue dating. My concern, to be blunt, is that she's a mostly secretive alcoholic who's in denial about her problems. So...here's, fo' damn sho', to future V-days.

Aw, dude.

That sucks. Her timing indicates the possibility of Cold-Hearted Bitch Syndrome.

You know the old joke, right? Why's divorce so expensive? Cuz it's worth every damn penny.

Wow.

That makes my two-sick-bunnies val day seem warm and fuzzy by comparison.
posted by bunnyfire 15 February | 17:19
Oh, Joe, I'm sorry. That was a mean-spirited thing to do. Please take care of yourself.
