The say anything, what's on your mind thread

A day to relax and lay in bed with the laptop. Recording a metal band for the past 4 days has my head fried. I can't wait to open a recording studio.

Thanks lads! Night one of RAG week also complete

**BonnieShels** · 14/02/2013, 9:27 AM

This reminded me of my girl in Bankcentre.

Happy Valentines Day! :O

**nigel-harps1954** · 14/02/2013, 12:36 PM

Oh dear..Valentines Day. Never a worse day to forget. Must do something quickly before she gets home from work.

Luckily the other half hates Valentine's Day with a passion. I've been told I'm to avoid her all day, but after midnight when it's no longer Valentine's, I'm allowed to come over to her flat and go to bed.

Ah, young love!

I make it part of the relationship "deal" that V day and smoking don't happen.

And to think I'm single.

**nigel-harps1954** · 14/02/2013, 2:14 PM

Meh, she claims she doesn't care in the slightest about it. But I know, with a woman being a woman, it'll come back and bite me in the ass if I don't get her something.

**Spudulika** · 14/02/2013, 6:35 PM

The scariest words a woman can utter:
I'm fine
It's grand
Nothing
It's okay
Go on, meet your friends

and the one that means you'll end up lying in a bloody pulpy mess in the hallway as she washes her knuckles:
I don't care

I picked my other half up from the metro tonight and had dinner waiting. And a movie (Say Anything). She liked the spuds, chicken, gravy and veg, started to doze after 10minutes of the movie and went to bed. In a way it made the movie better :-)

Let's just hope she doesn't read that last bit

I now hate Valentines day. I dumped a guy last year a few days before Valentines day to get back with a guy I had been seeing on and off for most of the year before then.

The boyfriend had decided he was ready to step up and be in a proper relationship so on this day last year he brought me lovely flowers and we started our proper relationship. Fast forward to this year and he finally text me at 7.30 this evening to say happy Valentines day and to see if I would call over for an hour after the football coz he had a card for me.

An hour of his time? Our anniversary and valentines and he gives me an hour and a card. No way Jos�! Just dumped his sorry lazy ass.

Moral of the story.....make a fuss of your women on Valentines day even if that fuss is only a text saying you love her and cant wait to see her later. :-(

**BonnieShels** · 14/02/2013, 11:32 PM

So Magicme is single...

How you doin'?

Only LOI football. Not the Europa League!

**Mr A** · 15/02/2013, 10:23 AM

Jeepers, seems a bit excessive Magicme. A lot excessive actually.

**Magicme** · 15/02/2013, 12:39 PM

Not really. He wasn't willing to make an effort to spend our anniversary and valentines day together only offering me an hour of his time. If after a year together properly he cant make some effort he is not the man for me. And before you say it am not high maintenance. I wasn't expecting a fuss just to curl up on sofa with some wine and watch the football.

**SkStu** · 15/02/2013, 12:59 PM

If you're going to ditch him it should be for his behaviour over the year. Not for a once off act of (maybe) selfishness when you have - clearly - got the painters in and aren't thinking straight...

Ha I don't have the painters in and its fairly typical of him to make no effort but I was willing to make enough for both of us but just worn out from it all and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We had an issue on Sunday night and I spent the next 2 days suggesting we meet up and talk it through so we could move on but he just wanted to forget about it yet it was an issue that was a fundamental part of who I am. I needed some clarity from him on some of the issue so I could move on and let it go and he wasnt willing to do so.

Then, me making all the effort as usual text him tues nite and he said he would see me Friday. I asked how about spending some time together Thurs as it was a bit of a special day and he told me I could call over before the football or after it. Then didnt text me again until yesterday evening saying I could call over for an hour. We live 5 minutes away from each other and unless I suggest calling over for a cuppa during the week I only see him Fridays and Sundays in the pub and then back to his. Just fed up of feeling used and unappreciated. Thought that at least if we spent Valentines day together that we could maybe up the commitment levels a little but he is too lazy and laid back to make that effort so I just dont think he could be the person for me.

**Spudulika** · 15/02/2013, 6:12 PM

I think to break up over such a trivial issue is a great excuse to end something which wasn't working or going to work. At least that's what my other half tells me regularly!
