Anti-Valentine 2025

Dear sober folks,

I checked it: There is no Anti-Valentine thread. So I create it!!!

Please feel free to drop here everything around Valentine’s Day.
Heartbroken? Fuck this day.
Lonely? Welcome, you are not alone!
Love the gestures but nobody will pamper you? Let’s celebrate ourselfs soberinos & soberistas :wave::dancer::tada:

Check in here to stay sane & sober on the 14th February 2025 :pray::hugs:

So I start:
Been divorced over 2 years by now, no new love in sight, my grumpy, lonely heart nags and bitches against all the happy peppy flower lovey kissy missy baci stuff you can’t escape.

So I’ve been posting A LOT of bitchy anti-valentine stuff on whatsapp which amused my people a lot :smiling_imp::smiling_imp::smiling_imp:

I bought myself the biggest bunch of NOT red roses but flowers of all colours, hoping the cats leave it alone :joy:

I will treat myself like a queen on the 14th to celebrate my unloved singleness, which is so much better, happier & healthier than the gone marriage :princess::kiss:

This is my bouquet

I will add my 2 cents. Past life with husband of 35 years went all out with flowers and cards and gifts. New life hubby been together 10 years does not participate in cards, flowers or gifts for any occasion. I did get flowers last week but were sent to husband as his Mother Past Away. I claimed them and looked nice on my mantel. With that said yep I like the day. I wear red and give cards to friends. I get nothing and he probably won’t even know the day.

May you all enjoy your Anti Valentine’s Day.

Yes girl, that’s right. Treat YOUSELFFF.

Get yourself a couple of cats.

Always fun
Easy to feed
Warm and snuggly
Always happy to see you
Don’t talk shit

I love my other half. But these strapping young fur balls are my valentines.

Valentines constantly wants to auto correct on my phone to gallstones.

I love being single after being in a 25 yr relationship. Just me, my adult kids, dogs and cake.
What else does a girl need :rofl:

I do hope you will celebrate yourself like a queen, but miss me with this “unloved” stuff. You may be single, but many of us here do love your authenticity, your attitude, your insight, your compassion and all your posting. You are a remarkable one, @erntedank .

Ive been single for a long time after a divorce and honeatly im so over it. I have a lot to give and i could use some emotional and just life logistics support that way too. Not to mention its so cold!!

Last week I got ghosted by a guy i really really liked because he decided to marry his second cousin from Pakistan that hes never met instead :woman_shrugging: that didnt feel good and was my only hope of a date this year so… thanks for the thread!

An AA group near me is doing like a karaoke party after the meeting tomorrow so i might do that

Valentines Day is just like all the other “holidays” - one great big festering neon distraction.

Gooood Moooorning from Europe dear folks!!!

I start pampering. Not myself yet, it’s 5.30 a.m. and I’m still a bit zombie like, but my beloved nearly 19 year old boy … he loves fresh air so I gave him a human lift to the window sill. He can get down on his own, but up the old bones say nope.

Wishing you all a fabulous sober day. You are wonderful! :wave::sunflower::hugs:
