Death by Valentine

[BliarOut]

So here's the scenario. You get two valentines cards and a small pressie. You can account for two of the cards, one from the g/f, one from a known admirer. But here's the rub, the pressie is totally anonymous. The postmark is local and g/f lives out of town.

So do you tell the g/f about the pressie? It's a dilemma indeed. It's nice to have a secret admirer, but you could be walking straight into Babooshka territory. Could the g/f have had someone else send it?

Mention it and g/f if she didn't send it and she will instantly acuse you of flirting with someomne else. However, fail to mention it when it was from her and you are effectively cheating on her, even if it is actually with her if you see what I mean.

So what would you do?

This dilemma is based on a true story that actually happened. Fortunately no-one actually died as a result of it... Yet.

Send an anonymous pressie to your GF and see what she says.

If she says I got this anonymous present then say, Oh so did I, how odd! If she doesn't mention it - accuse her of cheating whilst enjoying your secret present.

[eccles]

don't mention it, and sell the present on ebay.

[paulie-mafia]

What was the pressie? And do you have any mates that would have done it as a prank...?

There is only one way to handle this - thank the girlfriend profusely for the gift.

If she says it's not from her, he can act suitably bewildered - 'But who on earth would send me a gift if not you..?' etc. He can even have failed to notice the postmark. She'll be miffed that someone else sent a prezzie, but reassured that he automatically assumed it was from her.

Not telling the GF is not an option

Thats what I'd do too.

Um - not post my dilemma in the internet opening out my thought processes so I can be completely eviscerated should the mrs read it.

Oh and Wendy is right (but so is Marki )

Ha, yes indeed. I once got a spoof Valentine's card which turned out to be a mailshot from a tape duplicating company. However, the then G/F went *absolutely ballistic* and picked an all-day row with me.

Like it was MY fault! Mind you, she was genetically and terminally insecure. Glad I'm out of it TBH.
