I admit it. Valentine’s Day makes me roll my eyes. I don’t want to say it aloud to all my happily married and in-love friends. But all the dreamy romanticism of this holiday makes me want to …well…spew.
I know it’s cause I’m not ready for a relationship. I know it’s cause true love to me right now is defined by my relationships with me, my kids and my friends. And I also know it’s cause I’d rather have a man stare into my eyes as he’s tying me up, rather than as he whispers sweet I love you’s.
On that note, if you’re wanted to celebrate YOU - the passionate NEW you emerging, that is - at www.adivorcedwoman.com we’re doing a Victoria Secret giveaway; a great way to inspire some self-love (and self-loving) and give the underwear drawer an overhaul.
I can’t help but laugh at my attitude towards Valentine’s Day. It really doesn’t bother me. It’s all Parr for the divorce course I think. Past Valentine’s Days have been all over the map for me - some fabulous, some dreamy, some heartbreaking, and some alone. At the end of the day, it’s really just a day, and we all know that.
I just wish that advertisers would expand their commercial messaging and paraphernalia around Valentine’s Day. Since millions of us are divorced, can they not talk about love more broadly? I mean, ENOUGH with the smooching couples in a heart. ENOUGH with love-sick faces that glow from Cupid’s Golden arrows. Show me a picture of Cupid dipping his arrow in arsenic and doing a bull’s eye in my ex’s forehead, and then maybe I’ll actually want to buy something.
Yeah - I’m a Valentine’s Day grump *grin.
