Women: Ask For What You Want! A Question From a Reader

Hi Dr. Duffy,

I read your bah humbug blog about Valentines Day and must admit that if I were single, I’d definitely do a few of those!!
But I am not single and my husband of almost 40 years forgot last year to get me anything and said “it’s just another day. what about me?” this year he has been ill and not able to get out but I still feel he could do SOMETHING, like maybe just tell me something extra nice.�
Anyway, any ideas on how to soothe myself about this?

Thanks,

A Reader

Hi Reader,

Thanks for your response. You know sometimes men need to be told what they should do (:. Women hate to do this as they often feel the man should think of it on their own. When they don’t (which is frequent) we just get more angry and hurt. So I suggest you take the bull by the horns and tell him directly you would like to do something romantic on Valentines day and you can have a discussion about what might be good for both of you. The discussion itself may make you feel better and maybe you can come up with an idea that will please you both, think out of the box.

Happy V Day
