Not really. I might suggest that we hit a night market instead of a nice dinner. Hopefully he hasn't already planned something. LOL!
-
Nope! We don't celebrate V-day. I think we probably exchanged gifts and went out to dinner the first yr we dated, and then we agreed that it was a waste of $ so let's not do it anymore
-
Nah. I really only care about anniversaries & birthdays!
-
I told him I'd like a card, and I wouldn't object to a Reese's egg. That's about the peak of my expectations or desires as they relate to valentines day haha.
-
Yesterday he was super nice and went out and bought Cheerios at 11:00pm because I had a craving for them so I think he's exempted if he does nothing on valentine's day!
-
I'm just upfront about what I'd like each year. Sometimes we do something big and sometimes it's lowkey. Either way I just let my DH know. Making him guess what I'm expecting doesn't seem fair!
-
DH knows by now (at least I think) that all I really want is a card with a handwritten note from him in it...not just a signature.
-
I'm not going to lie, I would be bummed. I love all holidays, no matter how stupid they are...I usually buy candy for my coworkers, and a card/candy for my SO. So if it passed without any recognition I would be a little bummed out.
-
no--we're not so big on valentine's day. not that i wouldn't mind something special! but it's okay if we don't do anything. i'm not planning anything for him.
-
Nope, I'm not a big fan of V day.
-
I would like a card, but already agreed no gifts and to save the money so I'm not expecting anything.
-
No...I told him no presents. We are remodeling our master bathroom and that is more than enough!
-
I will give no shits.
-
I f-ing hate Valentine's Day. I think it's a mean holiday, and it makes those without special people in their lives feel bad- both adults and kids. I have kids that are friendless at school, or some with only one or two friends, and even though we have the rule that if you bring a card for one you bring one for everyone, people still get left out. It hurts my heart.
-
We'll make a nice dinner and I got him a card. He might get me flowers or chocolate covered strawberries but since I've changed jobs, I'm not sure if he knows the new address.
Honestly, I don't understand why this is a gift giving holiday. We don't go crazy to celebrate but we at least acknowledge it.
-
@blackbird: I just wanted to hit the like button on your comment. DH says this all the time.
-
@NurseMommy: Exactly this. LOL its been 10 years, and I know that we won't do anything and I'm not expecting anything. But I also know that I'll be slightly disappointed anyways. Completely irrational, but at least I can admit it, right? lol
-
Nope! In fact, every year I give specific instructions that I don't want him to do anything. It's just not my cup of tea.
-
No, I feel like it's a purely commercial holiday. He does enough for me anyway.
-
No because I already told him not to do anything. I bought him a few things because I didn't really do or get him anything for his birthday and I just wanted to surprise him.
-
Yes, because I already have his gift (I'm giving him a gift card toward a bicycle) and will be sad if I don't get at least a card.
-
Not at all. I am not a fan of obligatory holidays. If I want something I tell him.
-
@blackbird: Ha. No shits you say...had to read that twice.
We both hate v-day and don't celebrate. We both feel like it's a purely commercial holiday and instead do random sweet things for each other throughout the year. I'd much rather us surprise each other than *expect* something because it's 2/14.

I'm unreasonably attached to Valentines Day! It is my parent's anniversary and close to my mom's birthday so my mom always went all out so I've come to expect it, too! Usually flowers for me, candy for him, and a card with a real message inside and maybe a gift, but in 10 valentines I think we've exchanged gifts once. This year we will just because we didn't at Christmas. Also last year I got a card from hubby that he simply signed and I was steamed. I cried! Looking back we had a baby that was not sleeping and we were both exhausted and possibly battling some baby blues. But this year I think will be better.
I do tend to practice what I preach. I usually get candy and I try to bake and decorate a little.
-
In all honesty, yes! It's my last day of work and valentines day, I'm hoping for flowers of something sweet to eat!
-
A bit. But I think it's mostly because I'm pregnant and hormonal and feeling not very "wooed" lately.
