Valentine's Day is an odd holiday: for some people, it's super important, but for others, it's not especially significant. If you've been dating for 2 months, it's possible you both misunderstood each other's expectations for the day. It's totally valid to care about Valentine's Day and to be hurt that he didn't get you anything. I was always triggered around Valentine’s Day when they didn’t plan or get me anything. I realize it’s a dumb holiday but when they made zero effort the other 364 days, you hope that maybe on Valentine’s Day, when there are boxes of chocolate or bouquets of flowers front and center at every grocery store, they’ll do SOMETHING. Instead of having a pity party, here are seven ways to cope if your husband doesn’t do Valentine’s Day: Have a conversation with your husband about your expectations. If he agrees to recognize how about this year. you remind him Valentine's Day is coming up in 3 weeks and then tell him you are giving him a challenge. Tell him, this year, you would like to challenge him on doing something for you on Valentine's Day for $50. tell him you expect something romantic and he isn't allowed to spend more than $50 on it. It’s best to give this guy a nice breakup as a Valentine’s Day gift. My Husband Didn’t Get Me Anything For Valentine’s Day. We are not talking about some random boyfriend here; we are talking about your husband here. You expected a nice Valentine’s Day gift from him but didn’t get it. Maybe this is the reason: 1. My husband didn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day. We usually exchange cards and presents but he did nothing this year. I even reminded him this morning telling him I have your present I just have to write your card. He came home with nothing, not even a card. What would you do? My heart is broken and feelings hurts. I had gotten a babysitter for my son then, and was just going to update on time. That’s all. And he never gave me an update because he didn’t plan anything. We were going to celebrate Valentine’s Day tomorrow evening. I asked if he updated what time he planned something so I could update the babysitter. He said he didn’t plan anything. In the 7 years since I first wrote this post, it’s gotten lots of Google hits three times a year: before & after Christmas, before & after Valentine’s Day, and before & after Mother’s Day. For a wider variety of perspectives on this topic, I invite you to also read my follow-up post: “ How to Fix a Non-Gift-Giving Husband (Take 2) “ Consider the first Valentine's Day of our marriage.I awoke with a flurry of expectation. I was ready. Ready for my husband to stun me with his love and creativity. Q: Your partner does sweet and thoughtful things for you throughout the year but doesn’t plan anything special for Valentine’s Day. You’re upset. My husband and I normally don’t do anything for Valentine’s Day but he used to get me flowers/food etc when we were dating. It wasn’t much, and I honestly didn’t care. But somehow this year, both of us have gotten busy and my husband (who was shitty before about planning romantic things) just 100% dropped the ball- no planning dinners Most female co-workers dismissed the idea of the husband receiving anything, pretty clear that Valentine's Day is a day for women to be recognized and men to do the recognizing. A common theme seems to be social media posts appreciating a husband, but that's not for him at all, that's another gift for her. If he's cancelling on you once he's found out it's Valentine's Day, he doesn't sound like much of a stand up guy. This is exactly what I don't get. I'm a guy that doesn't really "do" Valentine's Day, either, but I sure as hell wouldn't let it stop me from going out on a date that I already arranged. Father's Day she left me with my kids to her friends. I received a card my daughter made at school And an energy drink. Not even a happy Father's day. When I said I was sad she didn't even get the kids to hug me and wish me a happy Father's Day she gaslit me that I didn't do anything for mother's Day. My husband didn’t forget Valentine’s Day, he just didn’t do anything for it. We’ve been together for 10 years, but this is our first Valentine’s Day married. I asked him a week before hand if he wanted to go out for dinner or do something for the day, and he replied nonchalantly, “yeah I suppose we could go out.” Anyway, my husband did nothing for Valentine's day. He didn't forget, he just didn't do anything. Now normally I would have my wits about me and not be bothered by this sort of thing. I don't know, I feel very stupid for feeling this way. OK we been married for 5 years and he never gave me anything he say he don't know what to get me .I don't understand like I get him something every year and still nothing last year he went with his brother to buy me a gift and he only got me a card and it was empty but his brother bought something for his girl like why he could not copy from his brother valentine's day is one of the dumbest holidays. i was never a fan of giving or receiving gifts and the like in general, so i wouldn't do anything for my partner and i wouldn't want him to do anything for me and i would refuse any gift unless he absolutely insisted on giving me one and was totally fine with not getting anything back. i do the He said "I don't do Valentine's Day." I said "I would like a card on Valentine's day." I reminded him in January "Don't forget card on valentine's day." So Valentine's Day rolls around and he gets me a card. I open it and it says "To a fine *boss* on Valentine's Day." I mean, just about the funniest thing he's ever done! We never stopped So we have been together for 2 years now. My boyfriend couldn't remember our anniversary date so I said, doesn't matter, even better. You do something nice and romantic on valentines day and I'll do something nice on our anniversary (which happens a month after valentines day).
