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 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. Here's why—and here are some ways to cope when your spouse doesn't do Valentine's Day: 1. Find out the why. We can quickly assume that the lack of response to Valentine's Day is a personal thing 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] My gf and I have been together for 3 1/2 years, we've not done anything for any Valentine's Day. This time it's even a Tuesday, wtf. However, if you think that just because someone doesn't celebrate Valentine's, that they don't make their gf happy Jeez, so American. We do tons of other stuff over the course of the year. 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. As Valentine’s Day approached the first year my now husband and I were dating, I told him I didn’t want flowers. I could tell by his face that he wasn’t sure if this was a trick of sorts, perhaps a test of his romantic potential. “I’m serious. If you’re going to get me anything, get me something I actually want: Swedish Fish,” I said. And in many situations, your spouse is half-watching to see what you WILL do. So, let’s just agree that doing nothing is a losing strategy. . . unless your spouse said “you had better not do anything for Valentine’s Day.” If your spouse says that, you do have your marching orders. Otherwise, stick with me. Learn your husband’s love language, and look for ways to intentionally pour love into him every day, without expecting anything in return. 3. Surprise your husband with a love note listing 14 things you appreciate about him. Many women on the other hand don’t get this type of appreciation all year-round and are therefore not getting what they need, so Valentine’s Day becomes there "only chance" to feel special, loved and cared about. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are seven ways you can feel loved, even if your husband isn’t Mr. Romantic: 1. 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." For most of my marriage of 30 years I never really did much for my wife's birthday I did not get anything as a child and never really celebrated my birthday and I never liked the idea of having to buy anything because I am told to do so to me it means nothing when it is expected and I would do so much during the year for her anyway so figured it was no big deal. Why do I never see the same logic applied to Mother’s Day or literally any other holiday? Yes, we all know holidays are over commercialized, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t celebrate any of them. Nobody is saying that if you celebrate Valentine’s Day then it’s illegal to do anything nice for your partner the rest of the year. 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). My husband and I don't do huge gestures for Valentine's day- but it's pretty equal. We used to go out to dinner, now we cook together. We get each other cards and a small gift, but mostly we get our kids little gifts But no, Valentine's day is not akin to your female partners birthday. It's a day to celebrate those you love, mutually. These holidays are important to YOU. Not everyone shares that sentiment. My husband doesn't give a fuck about his birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. However, that doesn't mean that your husband can't make these days special for you. You need to have a serious discussion with him. 12. Create a playlist. Making a playlist of songs that remind you of your significant other is a sweet way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Use an app like Spotify, which you probably already have on your phone, and add meaningful songs to your relationship. Put simply, my husband just doesn’t make as big a deal over holidays as I do. He doesn’t care about gifts or grand gestures; he even regards some holidays as unnecessary. One such holiday is Valentine’s Day. We no longer buy cards or gifts for each other and instead gift the kids a little treat bag (a gesture that he still doesn’t 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.
