Are you expecting a Valentine’s Day card or gift?

[Justagirlwholovesaboy]

Would you be upset if you got nothing? Or is it just another holiday?

I got my present the other day

My pets got me a card and roses 😄😄😄

Yes, we did presents but no cards, although he did write me a very short but romantic letter on a post-it note!

Married for 30 years. He got me a card, some L'Occitane stuff and some chocs. I got him a card and a jumper.

No, definitely not. Am single though.

Bought myself 3 bunches of daffs for £3 earlier.

Would be actively pissed off if DP decided to buy me an overpriced bunch of flowers on a day we have never celebrated!!

I did conceive DC1 on valentines day but it's because in was tracking my ovulation, not because we had a romantic sexual liason to celebrate the day

We don't usually bother - been together 32 years. However, this year DH announced he's taking me out (but not until tomorrow night) to a little local cafe which is a new business and they do 'special' evenings from time to time - they've billed tomorrow as a Valentine's special. He's doing it more to support a new business rather than because he's an old romantic!

We honestly don't need the added stress of sorting something out. So just happily ignore it 😁

We did cards and he bought me flowers the first 2 years we were together. We’ve had a lot of health related family stress the last few months and I asked him could we not bother this year, we’ve lots on our minds and pulling together over this period is true togetherness. We will though pop to our local tonight who are serving cocktails for the occasion. That’s a far better way to spend a few pounds

We always make each other a card, and I've just done mine. We'll exchange them at dinner time tonight. That's all we do, though he might bring me some daffodils as they're my favourite!

Yes I have flowers and cards. I expect them yes, as we lead busy lives and getting a hand written card telling me how much I mean to him makes me feel really loved and valued. It made me cry this morning! But in a good way.
We take every chance we get to make each other feel loved and valued, even commercially driven ones!!
I have a surprise gift for him later. We can’t go out but will have a special dinner at home.

I am separated and expecting nothing. I am upset that my STBX will be buying something for the OW and that Facebook is reminding me of happier times.

Valentine’s Day is not a ‘holiday’.

Will cook a nice meal for me and my 12 yo and he can tell me how Valentine’s Day at school went. He went of happily with a card and bar of chocolate for a girl he likes 😊

Nope - feels like something you do at an early stage in a relationship (Good old courting!) Rather than something for married or settled couples

Nope DorisDances we celebrate it an we're very happily married and loved up all year round. My DH announced this morning that he loves Valentine's Day and the little traditions we have and has been looking forward to it all week.

This year (at my insistence) we've not marked the day at all, not even a card. We've previously done cards/chocs in a rather half hearted way but I find it all a bit meaningless. I would rather mark our wedding anniversary in a couple of months time, plus Valentine's Day falls a few weeks before my birthday and Mother's Day so I would rather DH saved his efforts for that! Probably very selfish of me though...

We don't do cards or anything, it's our anniversary in a couple of weeks and will probably do something then. The wee one came home from nursery with some valentine's pictures though

Card and a small present but because its nice, not because its how we prove we love each other.

Takeaway as we have a 3 yo so not able to go out

I got my credit card bill lol.

Your evening sounds perfect purplejay x

We're just having a slightly nicer dinner

Wasn't expecting anything after 22 years but I got a beautiful straw bag!

Not expecting any lavishly public or expensive declarations of love, but he has made arrangements to leave work early (not easy) so he can drive me to a chiropractor to sort my back out. He will also cook me dinner and bring it to me on a tray.

DH would like to get me a card and flowers but I don't like celebrating it (my Grandma died on valentines day while I was out with my boyfriend at the time so the day doesn't have nice memories).

I don't have any strong feelings about what other people choose to do on valentines (although I'm always surprised that people are willing to go to restaurants that do a "set menu" for twice the price and half the choice of the normal menu). I do find it cringy when people arrange their huge bouquet of flowers and big card from their partner and post a picture on Facebook. Seems really show-offy.

I wasn't expecting anything but got a dozen roses and chocolates delivered to me at work (DP is away with work this week). A nice surprise!

I got a card and a box of chocolates. We'll have a nice dinner tonight and have a bottle of champagne in the fridge. We've been together 16 years and make the effort to at least do something small each year.

He’s bought me a band poster with a line from my favourite song on it. I’m pretty pleased with that!
