Happy Valentine's Day, friend! It's really unfortunate that he didn't at least say the words to you :(. There's nothing wrong with you! It's been a common thread on this sub today that some boyfriends "don't believe in Valentines Day" or "won't celebrate [it]". This could be the case! It's not even the Feast of Saint Valentine anymore, it's just a pointless day made to sell stuff now and make women feel inferior if their guys didn't buy them enough stuff or such. Relax. Realize how ridiculous Valentine's day actually is, and appreciate the man for whatever virtues you already found appealing. It's also good to set boundaries/expectations - i.e "For me to consider things are "going good" is for the person I'm dating to at least acknowledge Valentines Day, and at least get me a card. Work travel is not an excuse, if you can manage to get to your appointments timely, you can manage to put an alert on your phone to call me for a holiday". 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 haven't seen my boyfriend since Friday, asked him to message me Sunday and we could figure out when to hang out again. he hasn't said anything since Friday and today is Valentine's day and nothingi know he doesn't like it but I do. a simple "happy Valentine's day" would be nice..I'm feel left out. + I'm always the one initiating conversations/asking to hang out. I always tell my husband that I don't like flowers cause I think it's a waste of money , so he never buys me flowers for valentines day , and instead gives me a valentines card, but today not only did he not give me a card but he didn't even give me a cuddle and wish me a happy valentines day. Not normal. I am not one for Valentine's Day either but I make sure she realizes I love her many other days throughout the year. If he doesn't do anything Valentine's Day that is one thing, but he should definitely make you feel special other times throughout the year. He didn't wish me a Happy Valentines, or anything. We've been dating a few months so it's our first valentines. He gave me a gift a few days ago because our anniversary falls in the same month but that's it. It wasn't wrapped or anything. It was a watch I wanted. And said this is a valentine/anniversary present. 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. Valentine's Day comes and goes and he didn't mention it to me, didn't ask me out, or even say "Happy Valentines" day to me. I think the excuse "maybe he didn't know" is BS. Yesterday I was waiting for my boyfriend to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day but when it came around 6 o’clock and he still didn’t say anything about it I brought up how it hurt my feeling because I felt like he forgot it was valentines and he knew we already couldn’t see each other because of work and travel distance. I didn't think it was stressful to just text someone "Happy Valentine's Day." Not to be rude, but it's something I also say to my family and friends, and at the very least, he and I are friends. We've been friendly to each other. He started the conversation for the day, so I figured it would have been nice for him to just wish me a happy holiday. At first he was unsure but then wanted to do it. I knew it wouldn’t arrive in time for Valentine’s day but I was glad he was on board with the idea. I thought he knew it was important to me. So when he didn’t wish me happy Valentine’s Day I was a bit peeved off but instead of getting angry, I let him know that I wish he did. He wished me a Happy V Day and said he hopes I am having a good day. He didn’t ask to see me, though. I am not that concerned about gifts or anything and I am happy he thought of me enough to contact me. But most of the advice here is that I should forget about him. I like him but I am confused on what to do. Should I stop talking to him? He didn’t acknowledge me on Valentines Day My BF of 4 years didn’t even verbally wish me a happy Valentine’s Day. He said it to my son and cooked the meal I had planned to make but paid no other attention. 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. I asked if he updated what time he planned something so I could update the babysitter. He said he didn’t plan anything. But last year he was working in another country, and made sure to wish me a happy valentine's the instant I woke up. There was a sweet message from him waiting for me as soon as I woke. Later that day he asked, me "Are you mad I didn't buy you flowers or anything?" I said no. His birthday was a couple weeks ago and I wished him a happy birthday. My birthday was yesterday and he didn't wish me a happy birthday and I know he knew it was my birthday! His whole family (mom, dad and brothers) all wished me a happy birthday even. I know he's only a friends with benefits but I'm so hurt and upset about this. I said “Let’s just reschedule to the weekend! What day works for you?” and he didn’t respond. He can be a bad texter when work is busy so I wasn’t too stressed. But he didn’t wish me happy birthday. He liked my birthday post but still didn’t wish me happy birthday or respond to my text. Since you have already established a pattern where you both get small gifts and have a dinner date, it doesn't seem weird that you expected a small gift.
