All Things Relationship

Some of the best parties we ever went to were at a refugee center for Russian refugees...

Great food the most smooth vodka and crazy crazy dancing ...

We can both apologise, but we prefer to let things go, and move on. 

It works for us.

I think apologising is a balancing act: if you're apologising too much, you're going to be targeted. If you never apologise you're selfish and mean. Plus, sincere apologies are always better than faking a sorry. And there are many, many people who simply never say sorry: and even if they did, they wouldn't mean it.

I guess it's like some people are psychopathic, narcissistic or sociopathic. You just can't tell by looking at someone. That's what makes people scary sometimes. Most people are normal: maybe not sweet or nice, but normal. Yet there are people who are pure evil. And how can you tell which is which? You can only tell by behaviour.

So trust your gut instinct and never trust anyone: even if they apologise.

I still do sometimes.

So agree with Candy here.

I usually make Hubby's favorite meal. We have gone out in the past, but not in the last few years.

We celebrate it as well, long distance for, now of course. It's fun and an excuse to be extra mushy and that's always good right?

My SO and I were long distance for the first year and a half I think.. we actually wrote each other nice love letters back then (yes, handwritten!) lol

I just have my kids to celebrate Valentine's with, but might buy myself carnations if I remember - I had a friend who once bought a bunch and then gave them to all her single female friends. It was very nice and felt like I counted that year on a holiday that can shut out all the single people...

As for cards... My boys haven't been doing Valentine's cards for anyone, probably since the older two stopped going to public school? I think it just stressed them out, especially when printing was a labour-intensive process for them. (The middle guy has some great block printing going on. I'm impressed! Art is his pencil-grip practice!) And I usually forget to mark the day with cards for anyone else. Oops, bad example for them if I wanted them to use it as a day to celebrate friendship!

We usually go to the beach for the evening and have a nice dinner and then a nice night time walk on the beach.

It's fairly low key with an exchange of cards.

That's really sweet.

Was it really intended?
