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. 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) “ Valentine’s Day has always been the start of the end for me. It’s always sparked the conversations that I need more out of them and it’s never changed. I promised myself with the last one I would never let myself feel like I’m not worth the effort ever again. Last year was our first Valentine’s Day together. 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 It's one thing for a guy to feel obligated to get his wife something on a day he doesn't value (i.e., commercialization, never celebrated it as a child, thinks it's "stupid"), but it's another thing to simply not celebrate a day without considering how his wife would feel about not receiving anything on a day she might value. 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. 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. 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. He Forgot It’s Valentine’s Day. If you didn’t talk about Valentine’s Day in advance and didn’t mention anything, he might have just forgotten. I know, chocolates and teddy bears are peaking through every shop’s window, candies and eye-watering gifts are dancing on every ad, all over social media and TV and he forgot it’s today Buy candy or flowers for someone whose husband doesn’t recognize Valentine’s Day. Or have a girls night out. Remind yourself–whether or not he recognizes you–Valentine’s Day doesn’t Well, that day has come and gone. I am so sick and tired of this and this is one of our many other issues. I'm seriously thinking about separating or getting a divorce once I have a better paying job that will allow me to move out and get my own place. He also can never choose anything for me himself. I never understood valentines day. Its literally a commercial holiday 🤷♂️ Birthdays are special, anniversaries are specifical*, your chosen religious holidays are special. Valentines day is literally just a day where shops etc can massively jack up their prices. People who never get anything for other holidays (birthdays, Christmas, etc.) get their hopes up for Valentine’s Day. I’ve dated two guys who didn’t even bother to call me on my birthday and yet still got my hopes up that this would finally be the day they show out for promising to do better. Like bro I just want flowers, please. My husband and I have been together a little over 3 years, only married since October. With Valentine’s Day coming up it’s been making think about how my husband never really does anything romantic for me or anything to make me feel really appreciated or special. Im pretty sure he’s only gotten me flowers once since we’ve been together. My Husband has never given me a gift or flowers or a box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day – and I’m ok with that. Becuase it means that I don’t have to give him anything either! We show our love to one another through quality time throughout the year, that’s what works for us and we both feel loved and valued. Should have ONLY done it because you wanted to. You shouldn’t spend the last of your money on a joke of a holiday. The end of the day you got upset over thing you built up in your head. For Valentine’s Day my wife and I spam each other with the cheesiest and most messed up valentines memes we can find. That’s it. That’s all. This is our first Valentine’s Day married, and it’s also our first Valentine’s Day that I’ve been done with school, so it’s the first time we’ve actually been able to celebrate the holiday in any meaningful way. I snuck a few hours yesterday to bake him a cake and pipe a flirty love note onto it. So even though I wasn't expecting anything and knew he wouldn't get me anything yesterday, a tiny part of me wished he would. Not even because it was Valentine's Day, just because I haven't gotten any kind of gesture like that for ages. I'm good at communicating, but sometimes it'd be nice if he'd do something for me without me having to ask I think with Valentine's Day its better to lean into their interests. You can make most things related to cheesy romance / Valentine's Day with the right puns or packaging. My husband likes ropes and tying knots. I got him The Ashley Book of Knots, wrapped the book, and tied long lengths of folded paracord into a bow. Anyway, my husband did nothing for Valentine's day. He didn't forget, he just didn't do anything. I did get him presents that he seemed pumped about, he in fact got them a couple of days ago (they were items that I knew he could use last night at a guys night out kinda thing, that's why he got his presents early.)
