6 Reasons to Hate or Love February

So, we are officially in February. Arhhhhhh!

What is up with this month anyway? For starters, this month can never seem to make up its mind on how many days it should have. Every four years, we get caught off guard because there is another day tossed in.

Just make up your mind already, February. Do you want to have 28 days or 29 days? It’s the shortest but I’ve found it to be the longest and most annoying month of the year.

Now before you start thinking this is a single man’s rant against valentine’s day and worrying if I need to go see a priest or a village medicine man, please take a deep breath and hear me out first.

Let me start by declaring that February screws with everyone regardless of your relationship status.

#1. February screws with men who are broke.

Seriously, It’s the 6th day of February! You’re already asking other women to label men who do not believe in valentine’s day as broke? Who made up these rules

1. February is a good month for the capitalist, restaurants and the profiteers to screw people out of their hard-earned cash.

I can’t blame some women for connecting money to love though. Have you been to the shops lately?

I stopped by Walmart and Target last week and both stores were filled with roses, heart-shaped chocolates, stuffed animals, hallmark cards and all kinds of love dovey stuff.

The endless aisles of valentine goodies can be simply too much to handle sometimes. One has no choice but to spend money in February to show love.

We are constantly being reminded that love is in the air but it won’t come down unless you take out some cash.

1. February screws with those who are in loveless marriages and relationships.

Let’s consider another group who may feel screwed in February. There are women out there who are still married to men who have fathered children outside the marriage.

There are women in relationships today who face abuse often. There are women in relationships whose only role is to cook, clean and take care of the kids.

They are in relationships and marriages alright but the hallmark cards, heart-shaped chocolates, stuffed animals and the roses will not show the realities of their relationships.

1. February screws with single people big time!

We already know February messes with single people. If you are single, you may hate your life a bit more in February. Why won’t you?

Most of my fellow singles will join me in celebrating a no valentine’s day in our pajamas on the couch with a big tub of ice cream, some liquor and a bag of chips. Let’s take comfort in the fact that all that leftover chocolate will be priced half-off on February 15th.

#5. February screws with those struggling in their relationships.

If you’re in a struggling relationship, February will remind you of all the bitterness, resentment, heartbreak and the hurt you’ve endured. This month will make you think of the “what if?” longer and harder.

If he has cheated on you, a greeting card and some chocolate in February will not undo the hurt. The stuffed animals will not restore the intimacy after she has already had an affair.

6: February screws with couples in a new, good, established and normal relationships.

If you think February only messes with singles, those in crappy relationships and loveless marriages, you may want to reconsider your stance. February messes with those in happy and committed relationships more and here is why.

For starters, I’ve heard many female friends express disappointment over their man not proposing on valentine’s day.
