This is probably something you have heard before. But I think my story is different then most. I hate it for every year that I am with a guy who thinks that its not important (Vday). Some times the most a girl can ask for is for a call from their loved one that in a far off land. For days before I thought that Vday would be easy for me to pass me by... But there was one thing that changed everything for me and for that fatal Vday.
It was about four years ago and I was dating this wonderful man or at least at the time I thought he was wonderful. But he just happened to disappeare on me right around new years. He told me that He might have to go over seas but later in the week told me that he wouldn't be going. So I just thought he was avoiding me. But come to find out he had to go over seas. The lie that he told me then was that the he couldn't tell anyone. But from being a military brat all those years I knew that he could at least tell me that he was leaving for a few months. I tried and tried to get a hold of him then one day he sent me an email saying that he went over seas. I think the finial straw with that relationship was when he didn't even call or talk to me for almost two months. It also didn't help that I lived in a school dorm where I happened to come home from class not know that the lobby would be full of all that mushy stuff they sell. It was the most heart breaking day ever. I was in a relationship that I thought was good for me for once. Then I just felt so alone not wanting to feel like that in a relationship on such a day. So I was depressed for weeks after that thinking why didn't he think that a call would be enough to help me over the hump until he got back from being over seas. So I ended the relationship through email because I knew that he wouldn't answer another day. That night I got the phone call that killed that relationship.
From then on I never liked or wanted anything more then for this holiday to go away. I am sorry for all you in a relationship that think that buying things for their loved ones is whats going to make them happy. Your love is all they need. I hope that you spend time with loved ones this Monday. Don't think your the only one out there alone on this day. I am right there with you and Proud.
