A+ for Effort

By Anonymous - 14/02/2017 22:40 - United States - Monroe

Today, being Valentine's Day, I went all out for my wife with flowers, a candlelit dinner, and tickets to a broadway show. The flowers arrived dead, the dinner sucked, and my wife hated the show. Afterwards, I tried to be intimate, but apparently I smelled like a shart trapped in a pant leg. FML

Suddenly, my Valentines Day of a microwave frozen dinner, watching news of the unraveling of the Trump disaster presidency and Internet **** suddenly doesn't feel like the worst there was. I might fire up an extra Hot Pocket!

You couldn't have foreseen or prevented any of that! Well except maybe your smell... hopefully she appreciates your thoughtfulness though!

I had a few dates like that with my ex, where I could do nothing right before I figured out what was wrong. My new girlfriend is much more appreciative.

why are people saying she's ungrateful just because she wouldn't be intimate with someone who smelled bad?

Because they are factoring in all the ways the day went wrong on its own and assuming those are the reasons she turned down sexy time with OP using his scent as her excuse.

I mean.... she doesn't owe him sex for the gestures, either....

Maybe it's not about the message but how she delivered it? There are better ways to tell your better half about bad smell than comparing him to a shart.

I'm thinking he worded it like himself because he had his feelings hurt when she said no..could be wrong though

I'm sorry your night didn't go well but your heart was in the right place.

If the flowers were dead you should ask for you money back or new flowers. If the show was bad you could have left at intermission. As for the dinner I think i need a little more info as to what was bad. And for sex everyone needs to take a shower before sex ( that my opinion). Valentine's Day was a work do so I assume you showered in the morning and that sex happened in the evening. Your both going to generate natural BO throughout the day

Call the flower company and have them refund or redeliver your flowers. You didn't spend money to get get plants

She sounds ungrateful. i would have at least appreciated the thought behind it all and the effort you put into it.

Just because OP bought flowers, dinner and a show dosn't mean his wife automatically owes him sex! It's not a trade, people! A marriage is not like sugar dating - you can't just buy your partner. One can be grateful without having to give it up.

Sorry to hear that! How could it be any worse?! But I am sure you'll make it up sometime later. It is not that Valentine's day is the only day you prove your love.

The important part is you tried and failed. Let's hope you have learned a valuable lesson: never try.
