A new mum has been left furious after discovering that her husband had lied to her about having to work on Valentine’s Day and had instead taken his mother out for lunch. Yesterday he tells me that he's decided to take his mother and little brother out for Valentine's I made plans for Valentine's Day with a guy I've been dating for more than two In general, if you have to force someone to give a gift; there is an issue.

Alone on Valentine’s Day weekend, I’m a married woman. Nothing feels worse than being married but feeling alone. This weekend the kids went to grandparents so husband and I could spend time together.

He used to go spend the day with her and make her lunch, then take me out for dinner and a movie like we did EVERY other date night, so it was nothing special. I got mad on Valentines day because he didn't buy me anything and I bought him a $200.00 camera and a card and he wouldn't even open the card so I tore it to pieces. He told me he was tired of hearing about what I wanted and he wanted a divorce. He called all his friends and they started loading up all his stuff and they're not done yet.
