Aibu to ask what you got for Valentines day?

[3Daddy31982]

I got a lobster biscuits and multicoloured rose, bunch of red roses in a vase, a valentines day balloon, a balloon that's red and says love. Also Indian tea x

We exchanged cards then he told me he got me some chocolate hearts (similar to the chocolate coins you can get at Christmas) but he couldn't find them, so he's either lost them or eaten them. We're going to out for lunch at the weekend to our favourite place :)

Yes, because that is all it's about 'sexy nighties'. Maybe we (husband and I) are lacking something as I'm not sure he would sketch the riverside he proposed to me on for just any day as we are incredibly busy people. Having that day to think about our relationship and just us, not just me on my birthday or the kids or Christmas is a good focus.

The sexy nighties were important to some posters…less do to others obviously.

Of course it’s not about the sexy nighties - relationships are far more than that. Some couples enjoy Valentine’s Day, others think it’s silly - the former should just enjoy it without feeling their happiness is being shat on, the latter shouldn’t worry that their partners are substandard or likely to leave and celebrate it with a new woman. Focus on each other on Valentines Day, focus on each other another day - neither one trumps the other.

A card and a car

Oooo a car? Do tell!

Blimey, this thread has been interesting.

So, some couples celebrate (some simply, some over the top).
Some couples, one makes an effort and the other doesn’t.
Some couples view it as commercial tat and neither bother.

From the above mixtures of couples, some are arguing as to who is behaving worst over their views.

I’ll raise a glass to the single ones on here.

I think it’s great if couples want to celebrate it. And I get that some think it’s commercial bollocks (I’d be likely to be in that camp tbh). But I don’t get why either lot wants to shut the other down. Think it went a bit far with the various bitter, jealous and sour type comments though!

Nothing. It all seems a bit tasteless and juvenile. Nothing wrong with presents and thoughtfulness on any other days of the year though.

Although DD refers to it as Murder Day, we exchanged cards and chocolates. Neither of us has a "significant other" at the moment.

Nothing. We were both too busy to organise anything. We cooked a nice meal together and our elder daughter vacated the living room so we could watch something together.
