Where is the love? If your guilty of breaking any of the Valentines Day Commandments, its grounds for dismissal. Here’s six reasons he or she mashed up your Valentine’s Day. Do you know this person? Expect your walking papers today.
We hear and see all the good things on Valentine’s Day, ranging from flowers, candy, jewellery, weddings, engagements, and surprises. The reality is we also forget about those heartbreaking blah Valentine’s Day moments that men and women are totally embarrassed to share.
1. The Who’s and Whoevers
Ahem, look out for the red flags! Blasts from the past, ranging from the who’s? to the whoevers (from tres years ago), come out in Usain Bolt Olympic record time. Outta the blue, your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend reaches out to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day faster than your current significant other. How genuine is that or is he or she still fishing after all these years? Bodom bodom! No love.
2. You Negotiate Plans
You negotiate plans, then change em. As usual, it’s all about you boo. No effin love from me ever again. Shoo, shoo. Girl Bye. Boy Bye.
3. The Day Before
Lightbulb goes off. You’ve been dating this guy or girl and are still unsure. You’re at the 90/120/180+ day mark and don’t want to give in to Valentine’s Day pressures. Seems like a bullseye target date for some people. Others just pause and realize nothing has or will change. Sometimes your mind needs more times to accept what your heart already knows.
After some self-reflection, you finally decide the day before Valentine’s Day you don’t love him/her anymore. Totally awkward. You just got let go on the biggest day of the year. No love.
4. The Day After
You wait until the day after to celebrate to take advantage of the day after sales or last minute bargains. You wonder if you will get your gift on Valentine’s night or tomorrow. Uh, no love.
5. You Forget (Wait? On purpose?!)
You’ve been together forever. There is no verbal mention, text, sexting, chocolates, or card to wish him/her a Happy Valentine’s Day. My mechanic told me yesterday he has no plans. He and his wife have been married a long time and why bother. Yowza, No love.
6. Snow Storm
Mother Nature showed her love. Freezing temperatures and snow keep you inside. Who wants to get their hair and nails did in this cold weather anyway. You fancy, huh? Nail done. Hair done. Nothing did. Not even the legs got shaved. No glam love. Not for him, her, or me. Bodom bodom.
7. Just Stop
I had an ex-boyfriend who would continue to send me twelve dozen roses to my office. I would get angry and give them away. Just stop. Absolutely no love. None. Friggin bugaboo.
You Don’t Forget
You see. Once a year, once in a lifetime, or on more than one occasion there is that one person who messes us up mentally. On days like this, you remember it forever. It’s etched like a tattoo in your brain.
Per Etta (my late Grandmother), ambition is planted in everybody, but in some people it doesn’t grow. Did what I share in this post hit a nerve? Gotta mashup story you wanna share? Leave a comment and confess.
Going forward
Don’t limit your expression of love to one commercial day of the year. Every day is not guaranteed.
Until next V-Day. BOOM!
