If your partner doesn't realize it's Valentine's Day, then it’s no wonder they didn’t get you a gift! It might still sting, but try to show grace and not take it to heart , especially if they’re a great partner otherwise. [8] What to Do When Your Partner Doesn’t Get You Anything For Valentine’s Day? We understand that you feel bad, but try the following steps so that the next Valentine’s Day is not a total fail: 1. Lower Your Expectations. We’ve figured that Valentine’s Day means a lot to you, but maybe your partner doesn’t share your enthusiasm. If your new partner doesn’t want to do something special for Valentine’s Day and you do, this suggests he’s just not that into you, or may signal important information about clashing values. Valentine’s Day, like many holidays, often tap into traditions and messages you’ve internalized since early childhood. 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. Girl, read this post thoroughly, as it will save your sanity. I will tell you what to do if your boyfriend doesn’t get you anything for Valentine’s Day! —> In case you are reading this in advance, let me save you some time: jump to this section of the post, so you avoid the major disappointment. If Valentine’s day hasn’t come to a close, try to hold off on feeling disappointed. You never know if you will show up in the evening to a romantic surprise. Worst Case Scenario – He Doesn’t Take Your Relationship Seriously. Is it possible that your boyfriend didn’t get you a gift because he doesn’t take your relationship seriously? 5. Worst Case Scenario - He Doesn’t Love You That Much. Lastly, the reason why he “forgot” to get you a Valentine's gift is that he doesn’t love you that much. If he did, he would pay attention to important dates such as Valentine’s and would even pre-order your gift in advance if needed. Third, let him know that Valentine's Day is important to you. Let him know that February 14th can be as important to a woman as the Super Bowl is to a man. That, he will understand. Not every woman likes Valentine's Day. Not every couple wants to celebrate on a day where the menu prices are escalated. It's a very personal and emotional day for I am in a relationship with a guy I love. He is good to me and sometimes I think ‘yes, this is the one for me’ but other times I am not so sure. For example we have been going out for 5 years (we are both 26) and he has never got me anything for Valentines day. We have had rows over this. Last Updated on March 11, 2024 by Angela Vaz. You’ve been dating for a while now. And you love pampering him with gifts. But he doesn’t reciprocate. You’re wondering, “My boyfriend never buys me anything” and you’re beginning to feel underappreciated. I asked him almost every day if he had planned anything. 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. If you need Valentine's Day to be a thing for you. You need a different BF. He told you why he doesn't do this, and it is probably true but you have to add in being emotionally lazy. But it is really you wanting him to be something he is not. Expect similar for birthdays and Christmas Tell him you do Valentine's Day, and it's important to you that he at least wish you a happy V-Day and accept your card. It doesn't matter that he doesn't see the day the same way that you do, it matters that he values the happiness the day brings you. Yesterday, I sent my husband a photo from our local grocery store. They had gone over the top with Valentine's Day decorations, so it was a picture of their displays. The caption said, "Publix doesn't want you to forget it's Valentine's Day tomorrow." I got home, and he grabbed the car keys from me, saying, "I have to run to town real quick." My hubby and I go through the same argument every Valentine's and it's exhausting. He says he doesn't do anything for Valentine's because he doesn't have the money to really buy me what he envisions I deserve. Though the thought of that is sweet, it's a sad and stale statement after 8 years of marriage. Maybe he forgot. I say this because my girlfriend told me Happy Valentine’s Day today and I responded with “haha oh yeah, I forgot.” It’s not a big deal to a lot of people. I can’t stand this day. Unnecessary traffic everywhere. So maybe he doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day. Perhaps you could ask him what he thinks about The lesson for you is to stop saying you don’t want anything, or that he doesn’t have to get you anything. It’s contributing to the mess bc you don’t actually mean it. It’s fine to want presents! You just need to communicate more clearly. He does too, but he’s not the one on here asking for advice. 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. What To Do When He Doesn't Give You Anything For VALENTINES DAY?You didn't get anything for Valentines Did your boyfriend forget about t? Or said it's spa At the end of the day, Valentine’s Day in particular, what matters most is the way your partner treats you and how you treat them the other 364 days of the year. If he or she is affectionate, acknowledging and loving in the most ordinary, un-spotlighted moments, then you probably don’t have a lot to worry about.
