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. 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.

Obviously I can’t give his side on my birthday situation, but he didn’t get me anything until the day of, and then didn’t plan a place to eat after just said “I don’t know we could go to eat at X place”. I told him later that I wanted to be thought of more, like more thought into the gift or the dinner/activity. 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. It’s not that I particularly want a card or chocolates but it’s the fact that he would care enough to give me these things as a token of his affection. I’m not sure if I’m taking this too deep but I got my boyfriend of 8 months a couple of things for Valentine’s Day, some chocolate, a necklace and made him a card. I used the last of my money this week for all that and gave it too him as soon as I saw him. He didn’t give me anything in return and just said thank you. Then, proceed with letting him know that you felt sad not getting anything on Valentine’s Day, and you know you didn’t talk about it in advance, but you’d rather communicate it now than bottle it up inside you. The conversation should unfold by itself at this point. Of course, keep things calm, don’t blame, and don’t point fingers. Every relationship is different . For mine, I don’t care. I actually didn’t even realize it was Valentine’s Day till about 1pm . So I didn’t get anything and I didn’t give him anything. Birthdays and Christmas is more important times for us to get/make stuff for eachother . My bf didnt get me anything on valentine's day.i got him a shirt and book but he didnt even bother to get me a single rose.he did say that he is ignorant when it comes to these things and that It could be hard to confine to 1 reason why your boyfriend didn’t get you any gift for Valentine’s.

I am the more masculine one in the relationship and she does tend to treat me more like a man, where she doesn’t give me much reassurance, no valentine’s day gift, makes me come see her, etc. I know I could just tell her how I feel but I feel like I’ve been explaining a lot of things that make me upset lately and i’m just scared to add on. This is the second year in a row my fiancé didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day and I’m also hurt.

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. so as we all know, valentine’s day was yesterday. earlier on in the week my boyfriend and i talked about our plans for the special day. i told him that i think valentine’s day is kind of dumb (he agreed) and that he didn’t have to get me anything. we’ve been together for 10 months on the 25th. this was our first valentine’s day together so even though i told him i think it’s a I just imagined receiving a little trinket in October and him saying “Happy Valentine’s Day!
