Hellidays - When Bad Holidays Happen To Good People

I had been dating a guy for about six months when my birthday came around. Very generously, he hosted a dinner at a restaurant for me and several friends. It came time to pass around the birthday cards so everyone could see the birthday wishes. My boyfriend started passing his card to me around the table. Everyone was chuckling. Then, it got to me and it said on the cover, "What explains your rosy glow of youth?" Inside: "Must be all that masturbation." I was mortified. He claims he had never participated in the tradition of passing the card around the table. Even so, I thought it a terribly unromantic card for a first birthday together.
