I’ve (29F) have been with my boyfriend (28M) for about a year and a half. We’ve talked about my past relationships and they all ended because they never put any effort in. I was always triggered around Valentine’s Day when they didn’t plan or get me anything. I asked him almost every day if he had planned anything. 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. 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. I'm not big on Valentine's Day, either. But showing my SO is important to me, so I got him a couple small gifts and I'm making him a nice breakfast Sunday morning. (He's taking me out for dinner on Saturday.) We're not celebrating on Tuesday because of time constraints. Do whatever it was you wanted to do. All day we see signs in stores, talking about love, posts online, text from friends, chocolate filled hearts aplenty. It ‘ s everywhere and, when your boyfriend forgets Valentine ‘ s Day, the day is horrible. That being said, don ‘ t forget that the day after Valentine ‘ s Day is just another day. Another day when life goes on. Valentine's Day is an odd holiday: for some people, it's super important, but for others, it's not especially significant. If you've been dating for 2 months, it's possible you both misunderstood each other's expectations for the day. It's totally valid to care about Valentine's Day and to be hurt that he didn't get you anything. You celebrated Valentine's Day in a way that was special to YOU, rather than the commercialised hollow shite. I don't think he forgot if there was reminders everywhere in the shopping centre. Present him with your gift and remind him of last year if he tries to wriggle out of it. 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.

At least that’s what I’d think if I were him and you made a big deal about this. It would be a big red flag for me. I hate Valentine’s Day. Because I don’t go all out for it doesn’t mean I don’t love my wife. I spoil her on her birthday because that’s HER day. I think if it were up to men, they’d do away with Valentine’s Day. My point is, most men generally only do anything on Valentine’s Day for one of two reasons: 1) they don’t feel like getting b1tched at for ‘not caring,’ or 2) they think they’ll get laid The day was far from intimate, he woke up late, my entire day had already passed, and then we hardly spoke (though we did spend the day on the phone) while he watched a race. We've been together for almost a year, and I remember even on my birthday I was expecting a sweet text, but got nothing :/ It just might be that your boyfriend forgetting Valentine’s Day might be just the wake-up call you need to get up, move on and find the love you want!

Let me help you, NOW, before the pain gets worse. my love language is not receiving because if it were i would be wanting gifts year round for him to show appreciation. this is one of the holidays that we have exchanged gifts in the past so not getting one this year when we had talked about celebrating was somewhat frustrating. just dinner did not seem like it was from the heart because it was Reasons You Got Nothing For Valentine’s Day With Your Boyfriend Some Men Don’t Know.
