    Hi Sassy

    I'll only comment on the flower aspect as you've received lots of input into the other subject..

    By all means buy flowers if they brighten your day and lift your spirits, gawd knows we all need that. If you live in the city or work in an office fresh flowers at work or at home seem to enrich any surroundings through they're colour and aroma.

    I've never bought flowers for anything else but a surprise, never to apolagize and I've only ever received flowers from my daughter.

    Buttercups being the most fun, cuz then you see who likes butter.

    I like giving and getting them.

    Now, about the boyfriend. Take it from someone who's been there. Life is way to short to be wasting it on this man of yours.

    Believe me, he is not going to change if he hasn't already. So, ask yourself............"do I want wait five years to break up with this man or do I go ahead and do it now while I am still young enough to enjoy a relationship with a man who really loves me?" Because believe me he will still be doing this five years down the road and thinking it is ok because you have let him get away with it so often already.

    Why waste time with someone who breaks your heart over and over again? You are a desirable woman, Sassy and kind and fun loving too. Please, kick this trash to the curb. You deserve better.

    Sorry to hear about situation,((hug))!

    My GF was sick last week and I had flowers set to her house. But I am the kind of person that will stop and buy a goofy card and write some silly sh*t in it and mail it. I do stuff like that all the time. I also will fix things that I notice are broken and not say anything about it. I grow yellow roses and cut them and have them in the house all the time. The stupid cats love to eat them! Mav

    Sassy...

    I will buy flowers for my gal-pal... or something. I have learned though that cut roses do not last too long. Especially if we are going on a long drive into the country after the arranged breakfast meeting.

    Sooooo... I try to find potted plants... although I haven't had much luck with those lasting either... or other goodies. Gel pens of unique colors... and black writing paper... or other things.

    It all depends on the gal I am with. I can get really goofy with the right gal - and she will appreciate the 'goofy gifts' just as much as a red rose.

    <scratches head> Difficult to explain if you don't 'know me'.

    I won't comment on how your b/f is mis-treating you. You know what most here feel about that.

    "Here you go Sassy, some flowers, sorry I gave you a disease." - B/F

    Apologies Sas, but you know how I feel about what he is doing and I think you need to get your head out of the sand. Can I say that as a friend? I hope so.

    Sassy, XW posted exactly how I feel. I am sorry, I cannot believe you want roses on your desk from him. You mentioned this the last time he did this and I didn't say anything. Flowers are not going to make up for what he has been doing.

    For everyone who doesn't know: Sassy has confronted him many times about leaving the house late at night and then coming home at 4,5 or 6 am. He says he 'drives around' or drives to the airport and watches the planes. You know, I know Orange County airport has no flights after 10pm, I wonder what time Ontario Airport closes?? He claims he is 'thinking' about his problems, his kids and Sassy. Oh and they live in a 2 bedroom apartment and he says he needs space so he goes out to think.

    Back from the backround info............. If he is thinking about you, thinking about his problems, then he should realize he is making you stay awake, making you distressed, making you wonder about his fidelity!!! He is just creating another problem that he will have to worry about.

    Regarding needing space: Well, truth be told, it can cramped in a 2 bedroom even if you are sitting in one room and he is another. But let's stick with the truth!! Your apartment complex is HUGE. There is a pool and hot tub and work out place. He could go SIT by the pool. He could go for a walk in your extremely safe neighborhood!!!

    I thought you took the keys away from him. (It's Sassy's car) So, he is going in your purse again???? Ok, hide the fricking keys. Make his late night caller come get him and she will realize he doesn't even own a car. Pretty soon she won't call!!

    December========= the lease is up and you can move on! Everyone: Sassy is liable til December for her 2 bedroom. If she kicks him out, she cannot afford the rent but will then still have to pay it and not even be living there. It would ruin her credit, something Californians can't afford to ruin. But you can relegate him to the 2nd bedroom and lock your bedroom door after you put your computer back in your room!!!

    Can you talk to the apartment complex people Sassy? They might let you downsize to a smaller less expensive apartment. If that is something you want.....

    I like flowers ... and I did already offer a flower to my ex once (he was surprised but he appreciated it)

    I've heard lately on TV that one of my favourite old french singer Georges Brassens (dead guy) from his girl friend that this very particular and interesting guy never bought flowers for her, he was steeling them in cimeteries (LOL) ok it's not nice but still she liked it, cause she was feeling that it was harder to steel flowers in cimeteries instead of buying them, I agree LOL (and I would say moreover when you've got monney and is famous). Also this guy wrote very interesting songs ! And what she said was not surprising to me, also it was not surprising that HE was in love with HER.

    My beloved husband buys flowers and roses for me just to say he loves me. He does this on the spur of the moment and surprises me. I love it. He is so very thoughtful that way. I probably get flowers from Howard not less than 8 times a year. Isn't that cool. With my children's Dad I got flowers once the whole 30 years I was married to him. And two gifts during that time. But then what you can you expect from a man who hates you. LOL

    You guys if you love your gals, buy them flowers once in a while just to say you love them.

    I have to say though, my sweety bought flowers for his previous two wives and never got so much as a thank you. I lavious praise on him for getting me flowers, because I really love it.
