Making an effort on Valentine's Day is great if you're SO is into it, but if you don't it doesn't mean you don't care about them. The same argument could be made in the reverse. If someone demands stuff on Valentines Day then they don't care about the person who doesn't want to celebrate it. That's why that's flawed logic. Valentine's Day is approaching, and people have all sorts of feelings about it. Lots of people celebrate in a way that doesn't involve purchasing anything: no cards or flowers, just spending Valentine's Day isn't to make up for being an absent/crappy partner all yearValentine's Day is to celebrate all you accomplish as a functional couple together. If you switch your mindset a little, these (don't get me wrong, very necessary) revelations about you feeling unloved/unsupported won't happen on Valentine's Daythey'll happen before. “I’d gladly take someone who doesn’t show up with flowers on Valentine’s Day for someone who folds the laundry, who gets up in the middle of the night with our babies, who shows up day in and day out in a million other smaller, often unnoticed, ways.” You see, the type of relationship I’m looking to be in isn’t built on holidays. Here's what you should do if you want to celebrate Valentine's Day but your partner loathes it — or vice versa If your boo would rather die of 1,000 paper cuts than take a romantic horse and carriage ride or go to a fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day, think of celebrating with low-key things you both I really like Valentine’s Day and I want to be able to celebrate it but my boyfriend does not. He thinks it’s dumb and someone’s love for someone shouldn’t be summed up into one day. This always leads into fights with us mainly because he won’t compromise to at least say happy Valentine’s Day to each other. 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. As a nation last year we spent around £2.1 billion on Valentine’s Day tat, according to Mintel, which was more than 2023 and driven by lovestruck younger consumers, higher-income households and Love it or hate it, February 14 is right around the corner. You’re gonna want to have Valentine’s Day activities or plans that excite you, regardless of how you feel about the holiday or your We’ve been arguing more than usual lately and he told me this past weekend that he doesn’t want to do anything with me for Valentine’s. Every other year we’ve gone out to dinner or made a nice dinner at home, exchange gifts and/or cards, but this year he doesn’t want to. Your partner may be from another country and not even know what Valentine's Day is. Many cultures celebrate Valentine's Day in very different ways, and some don't observe it at all. If that's the case, simply explain to your significant other the importance of this holiday to you. My partner doesn’t celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, he doesn’t feel it’s necessary. I’ve explained to him so many times over the years, that I want to celebrate these things and I want him to celebrate with me because it makes me feel good. He doesn't want to celebrate Valentine's day, it's not that it's not with you. My opinion, you explore why he doesn't like it, listen and see what that's all about.
