On Valentine’s Day, I told you how special you were to me and gave you a small gift. Â I don’t expect a diamond necklace from my boyfriend and I don’t even really expect any gifts at all because it is not about the gifts but rather about showing someone you care for them and letting them know that. But you could not even be bothered to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day! Even the cashier at the store i went to, to buy supplies for YOUR gift, said happy Valentine’s Day to me, but you just couldn’t be bothered could you? Â But look, I understand, phoning your girlfriend or at the least texting her to let her know you are thinking of her on Valentine’s Day is just too much to fit into your busy schedule of doing shit all. Its not just V-Day either, you never try to do anything that includes any effort. Â You have got your head stuck so far up your own ass it’s no wonder you need glasses!
You really surprised me on Valentine’s Day with a wonderful nothing.
Thanks. Seriously. —Disappointed

I won a weekend away for valentines and took the guy i was seeing. He didnt bring me a gift at all, not even a card. Then he said it was cliche… thank god the hotel gave me roses 🙂 We didnt last much longer after that.. It wasnt about the gift but more about the gesture!
guess what ladies in this world you get what you have the courage to ask for. you teach others how to treat you. if you dont expect a man to treat you thoughtfully on every other day don’t expect him to suddenly become romeo the romantic on valentines day demand more on a daily basis and stop settling for less just so you will have a man. they only do what they can get away with. get a backbone and demand more. you just might get it. one thing for sure, you won’t get less.
It’s a fucking Hallmark holiday – if your man can’t treat you right every day, why are you wasting another second of your life with him?
if he treats you with that much disdain everyday of the year, i would run away and not look back
We crow lubbers think alike, Painey!
Valentines day IS just another day. If he doesn’t make you feel special and loved the other 364 days of the year why are you even with him. My boyfriend and I don’t have extra money for gifts. We spent valentines day with our kids at the IWK being held hostage under supervision on suspected child abuse. Life isn’t always chocolate and roses. Dump your stupid boyfriend and find someone who makes every day special.
This is a prime example of why I detest Valentines Day. It makes single people feel like shit, and those with a significant other who does not thing to acknowledge it feel even shittier! It is just another money-grab, and people feel obligated to comply with it. I say screw Cupid! Give me a man who will cook dinner and tidy up because I’m working a 12 hour shift and exhausted…THAT is love!
just another hallmark holiday. i worked with a flounder who gave her boyfriend the ‘but i wanted a longines’ sigh because the dozen roses he sent her were FROM THE WRONG FLORIST.
di and i do not exchange anything on feb 14. no presents, no dinner out, no cards no ‘happy valentines day’ email. not a hint of what madison avenue is telling us to think, act or buy. but i know if i fell off a cliff she would never hesitate, and jump right off to try to save me. (helps that she was a lifeguard)
but that should be an agreement. if you are in a relationship with someone who has not told you they loathe the artificiality of it, then i guess you would be disappointed at not getting some mention. frankly op, your relationship sounds crummy.
Did he thank you for the gift?
Valentines day doesn’t matter, no. But… to totally ignore you when it meant something to you is what matters. Not what day it is or isn’t. He didn’t acknowledge something that obviously meant something to you. So it was sort of a douche move.
This year my bf and I didnt buy each other anything, we are saving for vacation and it was a mutual decision. We had dinner together and watched netflix – dont need much else. But when the effort is being put forth by one and not the other it can cut to the core!
Same thing happened with my cats, fucking ignorant and hurtfull.
Sonic tell those bastards to get jobs! I told mine the other day I’m sick of this one sided relationship. I feed them and always give them affection and clean up their shit but the second I forget to clean the litter box for a day they start pissing on the floor! Rude! I mean really at least do it in the bathtub and not on my carpet FFS. And when they go out you should see the little critters they bring home. I don’t need to see you clawing at my patio door with a bleeding shrew in your mouth while I’m trying to drink my morning tea. GAWD! And no they didn’t get me flowers catnip or dead birds for valentines day.
cat love – yer doing it wrong, both of you.
my booger-man always thought of me on valentines day (most other days as well) he went to a huge amount of effort to hand craft a warm, soft, moist present for me, pulled from his own furry body exactly where i could easily find it with my toes in the morning.
now that’s cat love.
I already got them back 80’s, lol. We went away for V day so they got a big ass bowl of food and an open toilet for four days. But I got an overflowing litter box upon our return, so maybe they’re ahead now. Oh well, guess I won’t feed them for a day to make up for it.
