Valentine's Day Woes

[Luke 1:45]

I've been dating someone off and on for about a year. We made plans for him to take me out on Valentine's Day about a month ago. Now he's just informed me that because his job is so physically demanding that instead of taking me out on Valentine's Day (Monday), we'll be going out the day before (Sunday) instead.

I stated more than once that our plans were for Valentine's Day, I want to go out on Monday not Sunday, how tired will you really be, and is this the only reason why, or do you now have other plans? He repeatedly stated no, it's for the reason I told you (and yes his job is very much an all day on your feet lifting and moving physical labor job). But I still feel a little disappointed and a little suspicious too.

He's stopping by my job later on today for a late lunch. Should I tell him how I feel and why? What if he's really telling the truth? Should I run the risk of offending him? Should I care about offending him when I'm the one offended?

Why does it HAVE to be on Valentine's Day? I know plenty of couples that are celebrating it on the weekend because they work during the week.

Or is the real reason for your disappointment is because you think he's taking someone else out on V-Day and not you? If you have no reason to be suspicious, don't let jealousy (aka the enemy) ruin your date.

Just enjoy your date

Are you really upset about not going ON V-day??? Is that day really that important to you???

Okay, if that alone is the case then I am at such a loss for words.

Unless it's your birthday or anniversary of some sort, there is no reason in this entire world, wait! There's no reason in this ENTIRE UNIVERSE... or any other universe for that day to be any more special than all the rest.

No reason.

I think he's got a good reason for suggesting that. He wants to give you the best of his time and energy. It's supposed to be a special date night, why would he want to be counting the minutes to a well-earned bedtime?

I thought every day was Valentine's Day......

Why should it just be Valentine's Day that your SO do nice things for yah? Is the only day of the year that he says anything nice to you, or brings you flowers, on Valentine's Day?

 

[Luke 1:45]

Wow- thanks alot for the responses. I really, really want to celebrate Valentine's Day ON Valentine's day. I guess I just got a little fearful that maybe he's not being completely honest with me, and that maybe he has plans with someone else on Valentine's Day.

But after reading the responses, I guess I need to take just "chill out" and enjoy 1) our late lunch today, 2) the concert he's taking me to later on this week, and 3) our Valentine's Day plans for Sunday.

Thanks again guys.

The guy I'm dating is taking me out the day before due to his work schedule. I don't mind at all. I thought it was nice of him to at least make some type of plans for us to do something together. He could have just been like "oh well, I have to work" and not done anything at all.

If that is your concern, I think you have bigger fish to fry than whether you go out on valentines day or eve.

Yes, I think demanding that you go out on V-day is being quite unreasonable.

Yeah instead of like plan things for like spur of the moment.

I'd enjoy the ability to take someone on a date any day.

I just wish I had someone to spend the time with Sunday or Monday it matters not.
