Anyone else know they are getting diddly squat for valentines?

[Flossam]

a bonk is romantic

i never get anything, no card or pressie or flowers or a meal or drink. Obviously goes without saying that I shall not be bothering either.

OMG!!! - haven't got Mr Joolstoo's card yet - I've been soooooooooooooo busy!

tomorrow, tomorrow!

I absolutely hate the commercialism linked to Valentine's day and have told dh under no circumstances is he to waste money buying overpriced cards and flowers just because the rest of the world is doing it.

He buys me flowers anyway, last week he came home from his travels with a kilo of fresh Paremesan straight from the deli in Venice, much more up my street! Oh, and he does his own cards too with great 'photos on the front and his own words - make me cry every time!

We're just getting cards.... I got him a really funny one, which he'll either love or be a bit disappointed that it isn't romantic!

(I have something up my sleeve, but it's not a present! And I hope he doesn't get me anything either as we're skint toooo)

DP has discovered my card at his parents. And has now started to ask questions about if I'll be in tomorrow... I really don't want flowers! They always cost sooo much money for what they are.

Me
I told DH not to bother
And he didn't - stupid man

im single so i wont be getting anything

Dh has just gone out to Asda because "I forgot there was something I need to get for ... you know".

I told him I'd rather have nothing at all than something bought in desperation from a supermarket but he's gone anyway ...

He will be just the same for my birthday later this month; he only gets a years notice of the date, after all [sarcastic emoticon]

Me and DH never buy pressies for Valentines, just buy each other a card. I've got his and I've seen the Clintons bag with mine in, when I'll get it, I dont know!
We dont buy each other anything for Anniversary either, just a card then too. We just get something special for each other on birthdays and Xmas.

Yeah but isn't the whole point of Valentines Day is that it is for secret admirers?
7s is be the one who should be inundated with cards and flowers. Not that I ever got a single one all the years I was single

Or in my long marriage for that matter.

Dh doesn't celebrate this. I even did a thread feeling sorry for myself. I was going to do something really nice for him but then realised that if I did that the only person who would feel special was him, he wouldn't take that as his cue to do anything for me. In fact, he'd probably moan about it.

I hate men!

Closet lesbian Rhubarb ?

Just tracking down your location now MrsMills, there should be a knock at your front door any minute.........................

This is why I have so many affairs you see, cause the hubby is an unromantic shite!
You're right though, women would never forget special days or believe you when you say that you're not bothered!

But would there be any mystery in the relationship? I like to keep DH on his toes guessing what I really mean when I say stuff, if he was a woman he would just know, where's the fun in that? IYKWIM

me DP and I hate valentine's day! think it's too commercial and just serves to make men buy women naff gifts.

our anniversary is next month and we always do something special for us and give each other cards and presents then as it's our special day

Unfortunately dh doesn't even bother guessing, he just reads whatever he wants to read in whatever I have said.

I suppose he does have a dick though. That's all there is useful about him really, and even that's in retirement atm!

sweetkitty - it doesn't have to be commercial though! Dh once made me a card - when we were going out of course! We never send cards to each other or the kids, we make them (correction - I make them). Presents could be gestures, like brekkie in bed or so on.

dh very unlikely to get me even a card as he says he hates the commercial aspect of the whole thing. Although on our very first Valentine he had a dozen red roses sent to my office.
I've just put his card in his coat pocket so he'll find it in the morning. Can't bring myself not to buy him one, and hate myself for wanting him to buy me one when he does do other stuff at other times of the year. Pathetic huh !

Its just the romance though kayleigh that us women love - men just don't get that.

Although saying that I have bought him a card and hope he's bought me one.

DH said to me today "we're not doing Valentines are we?"

I said "no but feel free to express yourself with spontaneous romantic gestures any time".

He laughed.

Still crazy after all these years.....

Once a Valentine sent me a huge bouquet, a big padded card in a box and ordered it all the way from the Falkland Islands. That's lurve for ya. Should have married him......

DH went to Manchester yesterday for three nights on a course. After he packed his going away bag I slipped in a valentine card between his shirts for him. Have spoken to him on the phone tonight and he hasn't said anything about it.
I've dug around the house and haven't found anything left behind for me.
