I used to do things for my wife on VD. Then; one year; 2 days before VD we lost an important person in our lives which resulted in us not even realizing that the day was apon us for years . Am I bitter? Is my spouse an ogre? No, and no. Here's why—and here are some ways to cope when your spouse doesn't do Valentine's Day: 1. Find out the why. Valentine’s Day has always been the start of the end for me. It’s always sparked the conversations that I need more out of them and it’s never changed. I promised myself with the last one I would never let myself feel like I’m not worth the effort ever again. Last year was our first Valentine’s Day together. Special occasions like Valentine’s Day are loaded with specific expectations, and emotions can run high when a couple neglects to find a happy medium, year after year. The good news is, even if one of you is absolutely not excited about an upcoming special occasion, you can still work together to create a memorable experience. Some people truly hate Valentine's Day. and it doesn't have to be labeled as Valentine's Day with all of its cultural significance or baggage. If it's the former, and your partner just simply My hubby and I go through the same argument every Valentine's and it's exhausting. He says he doesn't do anything for Valentine's because he doesn't have the money to really buy me what he envisions I deserve. Though the thought of that is sweet, it's a sad and stale statement after 8 years of marriage. “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. 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 looked up, picking my words carefully. “He doesn't believe in Valentine's Day.” By the look on her face, you’d think I’d told her he was a convicted criminal. “I mean--” I rushed, fidgeting with the lid of a pen, “he says that every day should be Valentine's Day.” I held my breath. "Aww." She plopped on her bed. "That's cute!" Buy candy or flowers for someone whose husband doesn’t recognize Valentine’s Day. Or have a girls night out. Remind yourself–whether or not he recognizes you–Valentine’s Day doesn’t Or if Valentine’s Day is always a special day for you and your wife, then again, I can understand why you’d feel hurt, especially if your wife was as blunt as you say she was. Maybe you can tell her your feelings are hurt and you’d love to spend time with her, and she’ll go ahead and rearrange her work schedule. You don’t have to spend hundreds on a spa day to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Light a candle to set the mood, throw in some bubbles, and have a spa night at home. Try this: Incorporate extra elements like soothing music and face masks to elevate your at-home spa experience, a truly affordable Valentine’s Day idea. Okay, so I really want to spend Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend (of about 4 months) but she decided that she was going to accept plans with her two friends (male and female) instead of hanging out with me because the female friend didn’t want to be alone on Valentine’s day. Which of course, leaves me alone. If he's cancelling on you once he's found out it's Valentine's Day, he doesn't sound like much of a stand up guy. This is exactly what I don't get. I'm a guy that doesn't really "do" Valentine's Day, either, but I sure as hell wouldn't let it stop me from going out on a date that I already arranged. It doesn’t take much, doesn’t even have to go all out, to just make dinner plans and throw in a silly card, even one of those anti valentines ones will show that he’ll make an effort to take your feelings into account. 82 votes, 32 comments. true. We've been married for 11 years. When we first started dating and when we first got married, my husband always recognized birthdays, Valentine's day, our anniversary and Christmas with cake, a dinner out, and a gift. 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. If your new partner doesn’t want to do something special for Valentine’s Day and you do, this suggests he’s just not that into you, or may signal important information about clashing values. Valentine’s Day, like many holidays, often tap into traditions and messages you’ve internalized since early childhood. Gift Idea #5.Get Her A Gift From The Kids. I got this suggestion from a reader named Chris, and it’s a great idea. This works especially well if you have young kids. If your wife never goes anywhere without her Apple watch, she'll appreciate this practical (and stylish) Valentine's Day gift. This glamorous accessory set has everything she needs to upgrade her smartwatch, including two bands (one crystal pavé and one classic basketweave), two metallic face cases and two rhinestone-studded face cases.
