Missy, you're absolutely right! My DH is much more forgiving than I am.
Christine, thanks so much for your encouragement. I wish I had exercised the same restraint you did. I just kept harping--and in a really nasty, childish way. It wasn't pretty.;(
Well, I have an update. I went to our usual florist to find a beautiful plant for my DH. They know me in this shop because my DH and I use them alot and we're in there all the time. I explained to them what an absolute shrew I had been and that I needed something special as a peace offering. I finally settled on a huge, purple african violet. As I was paying for the violet, the owner of the shop came to the counter with a gorgeous bouquet of mixed flowers and said, "here, these are for you". They were just getting ready to deliver them when I walked in the door. I couldn't believe it! Like I said before, DH and I never pay attention to V-Day. I was stunned that my DH would even dream of sending me flowers after I had been so cruel to him--yes, cruel. I hope I can learn to think before I speak the next time. I really do not deserve the flowers. I feel very lucky to have him in my life:+
