No Lovin from Husband

March 9th, 2009, 4:59 pm by Tara

OK it’s been almost a month and I’m still pissed. My husband did not get me anything for Valentine’s Day. No flowers, no gift, NOTHING, nada. He didn’t even take me out to dinner because he says the restaurants are too busy and he doesn’t like it that they only serve certain meals. He use to give me flowers and cards when we were dating. But since we’ve been married (5 years) the flowers, cards and holiday celebrations ceased. We hardly even ever go out.

I’m hurt and upset.  He says he doesn’t understand why I’m still pissed. A simple Valentine’s card or little gift would have been nice. He didn’t even take the time to show he cares. Bet you would be pissed too. Why are some men so heartless?

Hot gifts for her

December 16th, 2008, 9:21 pm by Tara

Despite what you may think, a woman’s idea of romance isn’t a kitchen appliance, a bottle of perfume (so cliche) or roses.  And despite popular opinion, it’s not the price tag that counts, it’s the thought. The more time, effort and thought you put into her gift — and the more you personalize it — the gushier she’ll get.

So, this year, make sure she’s bursting with cheer (and gratitude) by putting one of these romantic gifts under the tree.

1.  Lacy teddies, slips, garters and more

She’ll look decadent with any of these Victoria Secrets gift items. It’s what all girls love to receive!

2. OMG, love coupons are not romantic, but handmade cards are. No matter what you give her, by including a card and a personalized note, you automatically get romance points. If you buy a card be sure the inscription comes from the heart.

3.  Waterproof Radio Shower Mirror

Lets you play music from MP3 or CD player and more.

4.  Membership to an “… of the month” club

This is a perfect monthly reminder of your love for her. Not only will you get points for romance, you’ll get points for originality and thoughtfulness, especially if you tailor it to her tastes.

If she’s a chocoholic, go with a chocolate of the month club. If she’s a wine snob, go with wine of the month. And it doesn’t stop there, ”of the month” clubs  also center around cheese, coffee, candles, flowers, fruit, and movies; just log onto AmazingClubs.com and browse until you find the perfect match.

5. Concert tickets

Give her concert tickets to her favorite singer or band. Make it a weekend getaway that she’ll never forget!

6. Jewelry

Spoil her with exquisite jewelry. Select a certain cut, carat or cluster. Jewelry makes a gorgeous gift to express how you are feeling…now and for a lifetime.

7. Relaxing spa package for two

Spend the day together relaxing at a spa. Then go home with a bottle of wine and enjoy!

Holiday break up

December 16th, 2008, 10:19 am by Tara

I’ve been dating this girl but now I want to break up cause I think she’s psycho. Should I break up with her now or wait till after the holidays? I don’t want to ruin her Christmas but I don’t want to be with her anymore.  What should I do?

Breaking up during the holidays can be difficult and somewhat heartless. Why go through the holiday pretending you care and leading her on? No need to wait…do it now.  The sooner you break up the sooner you’ll be happier.

Where to spend the holiday

November 26th, 2008, 10:51 pm by Tara

My girlfriend and I have been arguing all week about where we will spend Thanksgiving.  My mother believes that we should spend holidays with my family. My girlfriend would rather spend holidays with her family. This really creates a big problem in our relationship.  What do most couples do?  - Brad

Brad you don’t mention where the families live. Assuming they live in the same town, make a point to visit both families on Thanksgiving Day. Both mothers need to be less selfish and more understanding. If one family lives away, then most couples rotate holidays. For instance, this Thanksgiving will be with your family, Christmas with hers. Then the following year it reverses to Thanksgiving with her family and Christmas with yours.  This issue becomes more compounded when you marry and when you have children. If you plan to marry this lady, you may want to settle this issue now…before it becomes a much bigger problem later.
