My husband and I love each other so much; we have always bought each other presents on Valentine’s Day. Last week, a few days before the day l saw a nicely wrapped present, obviously for Valentine’s, in his backpack. I was excited and waited for him to present it. But Valentine’s came and passed and l didn’t see what happened to that parcel. He didn’t even buy me anything; he just cooked dinner instead and said “today let me cook for you.” Am I wrong to worry that he may have a mistress he gave the parcel to? – Worried wife
Dear Worried Wife
You need not take Valentine’s Day or any special day for that matter as a day to receive expensive gifts. I find what your husband did for you sweet and loving. It was nice of him to cook for you and that can be one of the best presents or special treats on such days.
About the present you saw in his backpack – it is usually tricky in marriage to suspect things you have no evidence of. Of course you saw something you thought it was meant for you and it never came your way, but it does not necessarily mean that your husband gave it to a ‘mistress.’ Valentine’s Day is a day of celebrating love; it is not only the love between husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend. It is also about celebrating the love we have for so many people, parents, brothers, sisters, workmates etc. Maybe he gave the gift to his mother.
If it is bothering you so much why don’t you ask him about it? But be careful not do it in an offensive way, be polite and avoid being blamed for poking your nose into his backpack. – Aunty Lisa
