To not give a flying fuck

[Cheeio26]

About valentines day. He never makes an effort for any occasion and I always do. So I'm not going to.

Valentines Day is a crock of shit. Im not bothering this year either

We never bother, don't see the point.

We never bother either.

load of bollocks if you ask me.

I hate forced gestures of affection. Dh is very romantic and surprises me often but he doesn't bother with it either.

Generally I hate it but this year a lovely friend has offered to babysit so I intend to make the most of this golden opportunity!

YANBU.

Apparently DH has got me a present for valentine's day. I was surprised. I suspect it's because MIL has been badgering him about it (and he hasn't fully recovered from the bollocking she gave him for not bothering to get me a Christmas present).

I got him some chocolate. However, he's being a total arse at the moment and I'm seriously considering just eating it myself. Well I would if I wasn't stuffed from gorging on Chinese food earlier.

We don't bother either, other than cards

I totally cba going out for a meal. It's always grim set menus and cheesey couples gurning at each other

I might make a nice meal and get slightly nice wine but that's it/

My dh claim to romance is not farting during foreplay!

Need I say more. It's a crock so no we don't bother.

It's a bit naff IMO. Best left to the love struck teenagers. Facebook will be awash with it presumably.

Good for you. I hate reading threads about one partner who goes out on a limb to make birthdays/Christmas/Valentines special and then the other partner doesn't get them so much as a card or a peck on the cheek; it's incredibly sad. So yes, time to make a stand.

Im not doing valentines day either. We are shipping dd to my mums and going out on the 15th, but that has more to do with the fact that we are on half term so have the opportunity to have some couple time.

DH got me a very nice card this year.

Inside it he wrote:
"Sometimes it isn't about the flowers;
Just words are enough.
But for everything else...
There's valium!"

(It's been a stressful few days lately!)

This year's rhyme will be:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I don't like rhyming...
Penis

If you can't be bothered because you know your oh isn't going to make an effort, get yourself some nice chocolate/wine and reserve time for an hour long bubble bath.

YANBU. We have never bothered (20 odd years together), we don't even do cards. Valentines day is shite.
That only works if you both think it is shite though.

I find it stressful. The pressure to be not tacky, thoughtful, not too cheap, not too extravagant, shouting at customer services reps about paying for expedited delivery hard stare at you moonpig/amazon us yet failing to guarantee delivery plus trying to be all light hearted and funny into the bargain is v annoying. Nice if it all works out though.

Better to be bloke. Call florist. Give address/credit card details. Job done.

Pets your very lucky to have a DH like that. 😄
