I am so glad my wife and I don't do that shit. Never have, never will. No anniversaries, birthdays, xmas or any of the rest. Veterans Day and Memorial Day mean something to us. Firecrackers don't. Cool part of Memorial Day is if you go out on actual Memorial Day, Monday there is nobody around. It's just a big weekend party for most. I'd ride the Blue Ridge on my Harley every Memorial Day. Zero cars and a sprinkling of Harleys all flying the flag ie. fellow Vets. In Nam we used to say we would get back to the world, buy Harley's and hook up and ride. Just a dream. So, I'd ride and as far as I was concerned those men, the fallen, were with me. I didn't ride the Blue Ridge, We did.
Ex would wait a week after birthdays, anniversaries, valentines and other celebratory days and start a pout because I didn't get her anything. Know what bitch? You never got me anything either. Daryl
"Right, I got you the same thing you always get me" and a fight would ensue. Yeah, once the infatuation wore off, that relationship just died on the vine.
I forgot my wife's birthday a few years ago. The next day, she sent me a pic of a nice AR and said. Thanks for remembering my f@cking birthday. Guess what I got myself. At least she lets me shoot it sometimes.

Exhibit F in “The Good Reasons” I don’t have a crazy, spiteful, controlling, manipulative, lying woman in my life, any woman.

Ugh.

After my ex left, I needed time alone to recover. (Took about 6 years, to be precise.)
ReplyDeleteBy the time I was ready to start dating again, I realized I PREFERRED to be alone.
So much easier, these days. The cake is sweeter without the "frosting."

ReplyDeleteAfter my separation and impending divorce from the ex, she was pissed at me because I wasn't buying her presents until the divorce was done.
ReplyDeleteOf course it never occurred to her that he didn't forget.
