The Cat Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 Half term you say? Bonus, I'll defiitely be there then. Don't celebrate Valentine's Day anyway. It's a crock of turd developed by card companies to make extra revenue. I suggest you stop being such a pansy, explain this to your other half and get yourself a ticket to the football. Any woman in this day and age who expects to be taken out, or do something special on that day every year just because the majority of couples do it is clearly mental. If she's that desperate for you to prove your love to her then make a fuss of her the next day instead, or go down on her for an extra 5 minutes before you leave for work that morning.

Cestrian Saint Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 Valentine's day is a joke. If she's so shallow that she'd be happy for you to waste money on a marketing exercise rather that go to the game then she's not worth being with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsaint Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 I could get away with ignoring Valentine's Day, that is not doing anything special. What I will not be able to get away with is f*cking off to East London on a Tuesday night, which also happend to be Valentine' Day. She won't go to a match with me ever since Watford away in 2007, we lost 3-2 and I went a bit mental (I also had £5 on a 2-2 draw so understandable I think!)

RedAndWhite91 Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 Man up and tell your bird that you're going to the football. If she has a problem with it, then she's not a keeper, and you should dump her and find a girl who appreciates a lad's desire to watch his team play.

Frank Skinner joke about this. WBA at home, got battered and lost - at the end of the game an announcement was made "Would blah blah blah in the home stand make his way to the XXX Hospital rather than home as his wife has just given birth".

Man up - tell her you'll be romantic when YOU choose to be, not when dictated by some commercial date in everyone's diaries.

Chin Strain Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 (edited) Do what genuinely romantic people do and ignore the commercial doctrines of Valentines Day and value your partner 365 days of the year. HTH This. Scenario 14 Feb 1994, a week before my then girlfriend went to Australia for 2 years. Been with her for 6 months so first Valentines night. Liverpool at home. Outcome Went to the game, Matty scored a hatrick, won 4-2...in the snow. Great game. Battled my way down to Poole in the snow after the game before going back to her parents the next day in Wales for a few days before she flew out. 15 years married this year. I'm sure it was because she realised the commercialism of the day, and appreciated my efforts before and after.

St Marco Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 Wife is with her friends talking about what they have planned for Valentines, getting all excited Wife- So what are we doing for Valentines then? Saints fan - I am off to the footie with my mates, you can do what you like *****! Anyone who actually has a mrs knows that isn't going to end well.... That said Valentines is just a comercial con! Take her with you and then just go for a meal in London. Get the best of both worlds and don't get a sex ban which you would most definatly get if you "Manned up"...

Turkish Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 (edited) Give the lad a break. I am delighted he feels he can post on here and come to us for advice. We can also nip his problems in the bud before they get out of hand. Bowers is clearly on the slippery slope (if not already there) to pussy status, the type of bloke you see in ASDA saturday afternoons doing the shopping, being nagged by his sh*t cu*t of a wife. He no doubt at one time faced the dilema bowers now faces as to if he should tell her how it is, or submit to her needy, winging ways and take her out because he feels he has to when he'd rather be doing something else. Bowers son, you are at that cross roads in your life when you go either the way of the real man that earns respect from his woman by letting her know her place, or you become a miserable hen pecked loser, fed up with his lot in life and ruled by his woman who has no respect for him, only with him for the kids and has probably f*cked a fair few blokes behind his back whilst he is at home cleaning the house beleiving she really is "staying round at Brionys for the weekend" It really isnt down to anyone on here to tell you what to do, but the choice you make now will determine your future as a strong and respected man who all your birds friends wish they could be with and fantasise about f*cking in the bedroom at your summer barbeques whilst everyone else is downstairs and unaware, or a miserable, paranoid gimp who cries himself to sleep at night wishing he was like his friends. I wish you luck and hope you make the right choice, but i fear, judging by your post today, it may be too late.

lambertsrightleg Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 I remember this issue with Bristol City away a couple of years ago. I ended up taking the mrs for a romantic weekend away. Unfortunately I got steaming, got a bit aggro when they scored there second. Got lead out by the police whilst being filmed and the mrs had to just look on and follow me out. Needless to say, I am no longer with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 17 June, 2011 Share Posted 17 June, 2011 Mate - can I suggest a simple solution... ...instead of taking her out for a boring meal on the evening of 14th Feb, paying well over the odds to do so in most places and being distracted anyway, why not talk to her and suggest that instead of celebrating that evening, you celebrate over the course of the whole of the preceding weekend and/or during the day instead. So... on Friday 10th you have a slap up meal at home followed by a night of passion. On the Saturday, you take her to her favourite retail park in the morning and then drop her off for an afternoon of pampering while you go to the Burnley match. On Saturday evening, you book a night in a nice hotel and have a great time there. On the Sunday you take her out for a romantic drive in the country, stopping off at a cafe for tea. You then return home to watch a DVD at home in the evening, followed by another night of passion. On Valentines day itself, you could take the day off work and take her out for a nice meal at lunchtime following another morning shopping spree and either an afternoon of passion or a nice drive in the country or similar. For the evening, you arrange one or more of the following while you head off to enjoy the footie: * Some girlie mates around - either single friends or friends whose husbands/boyfriends are also going to the match. * A romantic video (with friends). * A pampering session. * An evening watching Diversity, Take That or similar in concert with some friends. If you do something like this, she will be delighted and will only want to encourage you to have a great time at the footie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
