I find it very satisfying that although my wife and I are getting divorced, I can still kiss her good morning, wish her happy Valentine's day and tonight I'll probably tell her to have a good time on her date as I hug her goodbye!

Nothing about our relationship has ever really been conventional :-)

Flowers? Card? Good sentiment, but I'd try something from the heart: paintball, horseback ride, hot air balloon trip, have the in-laws watch the kids while you two disappear to the sleazy motel around the corner for a few hours, or just bake him/her a huge chocolate cake and eat it naked in front of the fireplace with a nice Zinfandel.

That first sentence was so depressing. Are you really being serious?

I am absolutely serious! Why do you find it depressing? I think it's a celebration of who we are that we're able to give each other what that person really wants.

Valentine's Day should be about love for those around you and she and I love each other. We just shouldn't be married and we're lucky to have figured that out before we began to hate each other.

Ideally, that "figuring out" would have happened before the marriage part, no?

The real world is far from an ideal situation!

As far as divorces go, that's just about the sweet spot.
