I know the feeling - it's over & you wonder what actually went on underneath the surface. My mouth dropped open when I read your post. I cynically 'know' that people are that shallow (as your ex-girlfriend) but it never ceases to amaze me what some will do.
I'd been married 24 years when my ex- decided family responsibility was too much for him, (what responsibility? He spent money on himself not us) & he left. I breathed a long sigh of relief. His idea of a gift was a chocolate bar. He came back from a convention one day with some cheap give-away promo items for us, including a calendar. Great gifts, hey? And I'm one of the most unmaterialistic people I know. I'm happier shopping second hand than spending lots on new items. You can also find more interesting rare articles second hand. :-)
Anyway, I don't want to sound like I'm whining. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie! I get to work tomorrow with all the floral arrangements (Happy! Happy!) that are done for the holiday. (Sheez! You'd think they'd sell roses in other colours than pink & red but the chain I work for seems to only stock those colours on Valentine Day.)
