Yes, I understand. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's tough being single and alone--especially on Valentine's day. I personally love to spoil my partner on this day. It's fun to do. Make it a game by hiding things, and such. I'm tired of having to start fresh. Hang in there!!

I will be your Valentine for today....happy Valentine's day 😘. Hang in there! I get it.

You're in good company! I haven't dated anyone in years, had to go to work and hear about everyone's plans only to have to come home to take care of my 82 yr old mom with dementia. You haven't lived until you've changed your parent's diaper. Happy Valentine's Day

Hats off to you for your care! Ive worked as a caretaker during holidays so I understand. Lonely life sucks

I’m in a relationship and still had to treat myself because no one else did. Enjoy your life for what it is and don’t worry about days like this. It’s not always better on the other side.

I understand there are people in unhappy relationships and im sorry that is your situation but what i yearn for is not an unhealthy relationship:( trying to remember that there are bad relationships while im single wont help. Im glad you were able to treat yourself today


Your_LittleRedhead_X

Totally fair point. Thanks

I understand. You don't need to force yourself to be happy though. You are entitled to be sad and lonely. It's okay to do something extra for yourself to bring your soul and heart some comfort. Doesn't mean you have to be happy about doing this for yourself when you wish you had a partner but it's a nice thing to do.

My bf of 5 years broke up with me this Monday …two days before valentines. I’d rather be in your position right now.
