Bit of context. Been with dp for 2.5 years. Both have kids of our own , own places, speak daily see each other every couple of weeks but have gone longer. He has kids every weekend mine go to their dads eow and I don't want the kids to always be involved so that's why our 'dating' is spread thin. Had great holidays and breaks away in that time and he's. been a rock when needed.
Previous two years for valentines I've always got a card and some flowers
This year - nothing.
He said it's because when he asked if I was going to see him Tuesday I said no I'm going to the gym... he said yea but it's valentines and I said we never 'do' anything for valentines
However when he had his son at the weekend he took him shopping as his ds wanted to get a valentines card for his mom.? So that means dp stood looking at cards surrounded by all the valentines crap and didn't even think to pick one up for me.
He can't see why I'm annoyed. I think it shows he's thoughtless and he's stopped making an effort .... which is something I've said for months.
AIBU to think a cheap card ( as appreciated in previous years) is too much to bloody ask when he had to pick one up anyway ?
