Make me feel better that I'm not the only one - hubby doesn't do romance these days.

Nothing here. We don't bother and my birthday is in a couple of weeks so I'd rather celebrate that.

I'm sick in bed though and have just had a cup of tea brought up to me so that will do!! I'm easily pleased!!

knickernicker · 14/02/2014 10:38

DP also says the it's commercial/I won't be told thing. Not surprisingly, flowers, housework or anything else I might appreciate aren't forthcoming at any other time of the year either.

Stockhausen · 14/02/2014 10:39

Nothing here :( have given up trying to make dh see its important to me. So for the first time, I've got him nothing.

It's pathetic, but it takes me back to the humiliation of being younger & getting no cards, because nobody liked me :(

My issues I guess... Not dh's.

JerseySpud · 14/02/2014 10:39

I didn't get anything. Just like the last 7 years of our relationship.

FayeKorgasm · 14/02/2014 10:40

Blather I'll help you fill the bag if you like.

What an arse.

AnneWentworth · 14/02/2014 10:41

Just text DH "shall we get Indian, it is Valentine's Day".

KissesBreakingWave · 14/02/2014 10:42

I got an anonymous declaration of love from a hooded stranger in the bed where DP was a few moments previous. The hood was, by eerie coincidence, in the same material as her dressing gown.

Gruntfuttock · 14/02/2014 10:43

We take no notice of it whatsoever. Perfectly happy with that.

everythinghippie29 · 14/02/2014 10:44

I'm still slightly hoping that he has something up his sleeve when he gets home from work and that the "Happy Valentine's Day, babe" accompanied by a grope of my bum as I sleepily B.F'd our 8 week old this morning wasn't it!Hmm

I made him his work lunch and sneaked in a card and some cheesy lame heart shaped treats. Not hugely bothered about Valentine's day usually but given it has been all pregnancy, baby, baby, baby was sort of hoping to take the opportunity and get a little romance on the go, feeling a little uncharacteristically green eyed at some of the FB posts going up...especially those with chocolates! Grin

JRmumma · 14/02/2014 10:44

Nope. We don't do it either. Ill never understand why some people treat it like Xmas or a birthday and go OTT with presents and feel the bed to go out for an over priced dinner.

If there is one day ill avoid all restaurants, its today!

Stockhausen · 14/02/2014 10:45

Oh blather :( get well soon. Your husband is bang out of order, bordering on abusive :(

Marrow · 14/02/2014 10:45

Nothing here but we don't do Valentine's Day. We are however having a takeaway as a treat tonight.

AwfulMaureen · 14/02/2014 10:46

I didn't. I don't care though. DH has been working all day and into the evening and getting a lift home at night so he's not had time. Ok he COULD have ordered online....but I just don't care this year...I think it's because I know how much he loves me. We've moved into a new phase of our relationship recently where we both appreciate one another much more.

SignoraStronza · 14/02/2014 10:47

Nothing yet, but been promised a steak and and a shag later. Who said romance is dead?

QuietNinjaTardis · 14/02/2014 10:48

Nope. Ds and I made a card for Dh but I wasn't expecting anything. Dh couldn't organise his way out of a paper bag.

smoothieooo · 14/02/2014 10:49

I'm single but have just been presented with a homemade card from my 15 year old son which has the word 'love' in 12 different languages and the message inside reads

one million hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you

There were tears...

Pointeshoes · 14/02/2014 10:50

I got little chocolate Lindt bunnies :) so sweet, some drink for later and the classic sexy underwear !

Binkyridesagain · 14/02/2014 10:50

I;m having a FB conversation with DH, its the only way we communicate now, he's offering to buy me Argan Oil there's an offer on Groupon. I'm not really feeling the love atm.

puntasticusername · 14/02/2014 10:51

We had our Valentine's takeaway last week. Getting ahead of the game, see.

Otherwise, we don't do Valentine's Day. EXCEPT that, unknown to DH, I have bought him a Manchester City air freshener for his car.

Oh yeah. I'm all over this shit.

TwinklyMummaLuvsHerBubba89 · 14/02/2014 10:55

am single and have never celebrated the day romantically anyway so not fussed.

However I always get DD a small gift (cardboard cutout Zayn from 1D and sweets) and card and this year DS (11 months) got a snow globe! I love Poundland Grin

Got up this morning to be presented with a rose bush, box of chocs and a bottle of Prosecco that DD had saved up her pocket money for!!

I was very touched but shall make sure that next year she is pointed in the direction of Poundland! Smile

ILoveWooly · 14/02/2014 10:59

I assumed DH would forget or at best grab me a card on the way home tonight... you can imagine my shock when I found a big bunch of flowers and a card on the dining table this morning Shock. Really not like him!

TheScience · 14/02/2014 11:02

I didn't get anything but didn't give anything either!

We are spending the afternoon together (with children) though and will probably get something nice for dinner. I am 9 months pregnant so a night of passion is definitely not on the cards Grin

MurielHeslopp · 14/02/2014 11:03

He has never done anything for Valentines day. I did when we were first together in the early years but if it's not reciprocated you end up feeling a bit of a mug so i stopped.
Being the chocoholic that I am though, I'm sending him out for a nice box of chocs later. Grin Romantic eh?

PrebendsBridge · 14/02/2014 11:04

Nothing. We're not talking. Think our wedding may even be off as I'm refusing to attend his friend's wedding.

Planning to eat my weight in ice-cream as soon as DS goes down for his nap Hmm

hellsbellsmelons · 14/02/2014 11:06

Nope - I refuse to pay over inflated prices for crappy romantic things.
My OH knows we don't do this commercial day.
I think it's more for youngsters.
I'm sure we'll have a take-away later anyway.
