I am based in NZ so a fair bit ahead!
Today is our second valentines.
When we met we both agreed it’s a pretty pointless day, we’re both never the types to go out for a more expensive dinner or do anything fancy for it.
But last year we couldn’t resist getting each other a card and a little gift. He got me our favourite gin because it reminds him of us. He also made a little card sort of as a joke but it was sweet. We name the day something different and personal now due to an inside joke that happened on the day last year.
But this year, i got nothing. He hasn’t so much as mentioned it.
The last week or so, our car broke down so our ability to get to the shop has been very limited.
Yesterday it was finally fixed; we went to the shops and I said I had to go off on my own for a bit to get something. I got a little card and a book he’d really like.
He joked that it was mysterious but I thought it was pretty obvious what it would be for.
Whilst I did this, he just went to a coffee shop and sat having a coffee. I felt really upset that he clearly hadn’t even thought about getting me anything.
And I think I was right. There’s not been a mention all afternoon. I’m going to give him the present in a bit but genuinely I don’t think he’s got anything at all.
I guess I’ll update when I give it to him, but I’m feeling really anxious and hurt. :(
