It was my first V-day married to my husband and I had just had our daughter a month before V-day. He'd been working long hours, 6 days a week while I was home with a colicky baby who screamed for hours on end. I was exhausted from nursing her every hour and a half. But, it was Valentine's Day and even though I couldn't get out to get him anything, I made him a heart shaped brownie in between baby screaming. He got home from work at 8 pm that night. He had nothing, no card, nothing. He said he tried to get flowers but everything was closed. As if he didn't know the day was coming? We were newlyweds!!
The only thing worse was when Mother's Day came along.. my first as a Mom and I got no recognition at all for that one.
The beginning of the end of a marriage that went on for 7 more years!
