No Valentine’s Day card

Just wondering what the consensus is here. Been with my fiancé for 4 years, we had a baby in September. We always got each other something small for Valentine’s Day like a card and flowers or chocs, nothing big. This year I left his card next to his bed as I got up early with the baby. He’s out at work all day until 11pm so it’s just me and the baby stuck in the house because of the horrible weather and I’ve got tonsillitis. So just generally feeling quite rubbish. Fiancé didn’t get me even a card this year and said it’s because he was working, but he doesn’t start work until 11am so could have easily popped out yesterday morning to pick something up. I just feel let down because I’m at home looking after our baby every day and I don’t feel he appreciates everything I do for him. AIBU to be a bit upset?

I am not bothered at all by valentines day. My husband works 65 hours a week. He finished a 48 hour shift. (Including sleep overs but not much chance for quality sleep) he was exhausted. I didn't expect him to remember. But he still stopped at tesco on the way home and picked up a card and flowers.

DP has been in Australia for 10 weeks because of family illness.
We have been together a year and are 50’s. He talks about permanent relationship, where we should live etc. He does normally act consistently with this.
It was an emergency flight out so no real prep. I have kept his house clean, ordered and posted out all his medication. Sent a load of other stuff. Paid a lot of holiday costs and other bills because they fell due while he is away. He knows this and tbf I expect to get all the money back but I am pretty broke.
DC now recovering v well so DP only there because flight back booked for early March. It’s a young family so extra hands always welcome. I sent a card I have had a gif.

It wouldn’t bother me but we never get cards.
This is something to talk about in advance next year.

Buy yourself a big bunch of roses today. They’ll be cheaper! When he asks who they are from just say I got them for me because they were on offer and I thought they looked pretty (don’t be nasty or insinuate he should have got them for you). Maybe he’ll take the hint for next year, and if he doesn’t, well at least you treated yourself
