Dear Roxanne,
I have been with my girlfriend for three months now and this will be our first Valentine’s together. Her expectations for the day are quite worrying. As it happens, I am her first boyfriend and she is putting me under so much pressure to give her a memorable Valentine’s. She has been dropping hints of what she expects every now and then. I like her, but I don’t have the financial capacity to make her dreams a reality. I haven’t had a moment of peace since she started this Valentine’s obsession. She has been telling me what her friends and their boyfriends have planned and she expects me to top them. She is driving me nuts and honestly, I feel like disappearing until this Valentine’s madness is over. What do I do? Peter.
