DH got in big trouble last year. Not exactly for not doing anything, but we did dinner the weekend before, and I said I wanted at least a card on the actual day. Just a card. Aaaaand he didn't get one. I cried. Which is ridiculous, but I was upset. So this year he already gave me two cards, and has one for the day of as well. He says I'm not allowed to bring up last year again since that makes up for it.

No. We've already agreed not to buy each other gifts. We're just going to go to dinner or the movies since my mom is in town to babysit.

Honestly, yes.
But should I be? No. We never do anything and I'm not planning on doing anything, so it's completely irrational of me, but that's the truth.

Nope, but I don't have any expectations. He has literally no time to get to a store, so....
I figure, if he surprises me, great! If not, it doesn't bother me. We arent big valentines day people. Usually we just go out to eat, but haven't found a date that works for that yet.
I got him a card and some chocolate, as a little treat because it's already been a long week!

Yes and no. I don't want him to spend money or do anything extravagant but I do love cards and will be so sad if I don't get one from him. I also hope he buys or makes me a card from our little girls, I'm such a sucker for that kind of stuff!
Last year he thought he'd surprise me with flowers and picked up three long stem roses at a florist. He was on the phone whilst paying and didn't realise until afterwards that he paid $110 for those three flowers. When I found the receipt a few weeks later, I about killed him. He knows not to do that again!

Yes. I'm expecting at least a card and probably flowers. Considering we live 10 minutes from the wholesale flower market there's really no excuse. Usually the markup is only on roses so he just gets something else which is totally fine.

I will be upset if I don't get a card. That is all I care about.

No because we've never celebrated it, our dating anniversary is the day before so we usually celebrated that day, won't be doing it this year though.

Maybe we'll do a dinner out over the weekend? But we're not planning on anything big, but we're both pretty terrible about holidays and birthdays, so I'd not be disappointed.
Last year he got me a nice flower, and I picked up cupcakes from the bakery at the train station on the way home. Totally about the grand romantic gestures around these here parts.

Nope. We'll order sushi, he'll "surprise" me with a card and flowers, and usually, I write him a card too, but this year I'm going go to wild and also make him a Valentine from LO

I expect at least an acknowledgement of the day with a card and maybe a bag of cinnamon hearts, but I don't expect anything big and have told him multiple times over the years to not buy roses. The markup is ridiculous and I prefer other flowers anyway.

Nope. We are going to cook dinner at home together. We've been doing it since college - we both waited tables all through college, and so the last place we wanted to be on V-Day was at a restaurant. We still stick with that plan!

Nope. She works and we don't usually make a thing of VD. I did get her something that I would have gotten her anyway but the timing worked out well. Its Layla McCalla of the Carolina chocolate drops first solo album. Turns out they are playing on Friday and my wife is soo sad about working. I hope it cheers her up.

We don't celebrate the holiday and never have. Works out well for us.

we usually just go to dinner. but i don't mind if we don't. we usually have our date weeks, so i don't need to celebrate that particular day.

I wouldn't be normally. But he told me he planned a surprise date and setup ds sleeping over at my moms. So if itbturns out to be nothing then yes ill be disappointed lol. Highly unlikely tho

I wouldn't but I know we are going to dinner! I would be totally fine with skipping it but he works a lot of holidays so he loves to celebrate the ones he gets off, even Valentines day! All the older guys at work would rather work...

We went out to dinner this weekend and considered it our valentines dinner. So we are just planning on havering a fun dinner with the kids, I'm not expecting anything else.

Nope, we don't really do Valentines and he already bought me flowers last week thinking it was Valentines last week! Haha.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
No, we've been really overwhelmed this week, and I'm not sure we'll even be able to go out...I'm definitely not expecting a card or flowers or anything. No biggie.

No, I think VD is a dumb holiday and prefer to just celebrate our anniversary. I made him pinky swear that we would ignore VD this year.

I believe valentines day is a fake holiday so I would prefer him to to even recognize it!

Hmmm. As long as he says something about it I will be happy. One year we agreed not to do anything for Valentine's day and he didn't even call (he was out of town) and we normally talk like 3 times a day when he is gone. I think that is the only time I was upset, mostly just because I felt lonely though.
