"I gave her mine first, feeling a bit sheepish," Mr. Gauchat, a 31-year-old software entrepreneur from Hoboken, recalled. "She then proceeded to pull out this nicely wrapped box, which had a blue cashmere sweater in it."

The clearly uneven rate of exchange, he said, "was an unmitigated disaster complete with tears, followed by breakup and nasty e-mails referring to my inability to 'validate her emotional needs.' "

Good grief. If she were a kind person, she'd be more embarrassed than he was.

There are probably no couples who consistently sail through Valentine's Day, each miraculously meeting and exceeding the other's expectations, neither one feeling put out or shortchanged.

BAH! My husband and I don't guilt ourselves into playing the Valentines game, and we don't feel short-changed either. I don't need the drama.

Happy Valentines day honey :~D

Doesn't take much to make my wife happy. I'll make her some seafood fettuccine alfredo for dinner, then we'll have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and watch a movie. ;~D
