Someone emailed me this yesterday and I didn't think much of it until today. Flower.com made a delivery to my office today and I looked at my co-worker and said, "I wonder who got those, I hate her!" I was just joking as a nearly 40 married forever does when the single gals get roses. My co-worker delivered the flowers and when she got back she said, "You'll never believe what she said!" The pretty, single gal looked at the package and said, "IT ISN'T THE RIGHT DAY!" and she was NOT happy. How much of a PRINCESS complex does this girl have that she wasn't excited? My co-worker and I laughed and said this is a perfect example of why this gal is STILL SINGLE. Then I re-read this email and I really liked it.
Poor guy!
Are you a woman living with a man suffering from AVD (Anti-Valentine Day-itis)? He hates Valentine's Day and refuses to have anything to do with it. And, no matter how hard you try to make him see things your way, he won't change. Well, don't fret. You're not alone.
Women everywhere live with men suffering from AVD. It's a common disease that is triggered in men after they enter a long-term relationship and get comfortable. The original cause is not clear, but it's rumored to have something to do with an excess of cheese, sports and deep psychological fears.
Below are a few of these fears. They are common reasons why your man may not like Valentine's Day. If' he's in touch with his feelings and is not too afraid to tell you, he'll give you one of them as way to let you know that you're not getting anything on Valentine's Day. If he's a little closed with his emotions, he'll keep it to himself. However, his true feelings fall somewhere within this list. Read it and find out what's really going on with him.
1. He's afraid to walk into a mall.
2. The perfume girl at Macy's intimidates him.
3. The last time he bought a woman a gift, she turned it into a pretty cozy.
4. The sight of cupid makes him feel uncomfortable about their sexuality.
5. It requires thought to buy a gift.
6. Valentine's Day forces him to face his deepest fears - his emotions.
7. Last year, you cried for two hours after receiving his Valentine's Day gift.
8. The thought of eating another one of those cheap chocolates makes him queasy.
9. His mother never celebrated Valentine's Day.
10. Jesus never talks about Valentine's Day in the bible.
11. He's broke and only has enough money for necessities like a new boat.
12. He bought you a great Christmas gift and this should last you for the next twelve months.
13. No action packed, violent movies - that you'll watch with him - can be associated with Valentine's Day.
14. Valentine's Day doesn't involve cars.
15. None of his friends acknowledge the day.
16. He thinks it's too commercialized unlike other national events such as the Super Bowl.
17. It usually doesn't involve pizza or beer.
18. He has to buy a gift.
19. He has to buy a gift.
20. He has to buy a gift.
Now that you've read this list, understand that there is no cure for AVD. Female scientists everywhere have been working on remedies, but nothing seems to work for more than a year. The best way to cure this disease is through self help.
On Valentine's Day, instead of waiting for him to buy you something. Take his wallet. Grab a credit card or a few dollars and get something for yourself. It'll help you live comfortably with his disease and not hold unto any hard feelings

I made the mistake of telling my husband not to waste $ on flowers a few years ago.....now I'll never get them again.
Thankfully my wife isn't real fond of V-Day, either. We generally go out to eat or something and leave it at that. (She's from Europe, which we pronounce "Yerp" here in Iowa. I guess they don't do Valentine's Day much in Yerp.)
