Are you expecting anything for Valentine's Day?

[DetentionGrrrl]

Will you be expecting anything from your DH / DP?

Do think you'll get it?

I'm expecting him to get a wee cardette from the divorce court. \o/

I never did go a bundle on the aptly named VD anyway. I believe in doing something on a day that means something to the couple, like birthdays or anniversaries, not a day when the card industry has decided we ought to. But then, given that after umpteen reminders and being told in no uncertain terms that grown-up people DO get presents too, soon-to-be-XH would grudgingly get something like a porcelain shepherdess (which I despise) or a bottle of Southern Comfort (which I don't drink), on the credit card which I paid for, I didn't often insist on celebrating birthdays or anniversaries either. Heaven knows what his idea of a suitable Valentine's gift would be. If he got me anything this year I would probably laugh sardonically.

Mellow, add a Bottle of wine to that, and it would pretty much describe my idea of heaven, too

ds was an unexpected product of valentines day 2000 - too much champagne.

dh always gets a card from his mum and another from her dog [vomit emoticon]

Oh Shsha, your man sounds such a romantic, rofl...sorry, but that comment about, no you always look that fat it isn't the dress, could have come from my dh, lol.

trice....his mums dog...are you serious....oh that is soooooooooo funny, [lmao emoticon]

No of course I'm not expecting anything. The whole point about Valentine's (sorry if this has been said, not read the whole thread) is that you approach someone you ARE NOT involved with - its about STARTING a new relationship.

Gawd. The only reason we have Valentine's WITHIN relationships is entirely down to the commercial enterprise called Hallmark cards etc...

No. I have been a lone parent for 4 years. Have decided to put a card in a colleague's mail box at work...

i wont see mine on the day but he is taking me out on the following friday

Nope.

We both agree it is just a big money spinner for anyone who want to make more sales. What a pair on unromantic bores

nope. but he does delicious loving thoughtful things for me randomly, whenever im not expecting it. so, by not expecting it, im bound to get a night in a fancy hotel with booze and a live sex show or something equally romantic

A big kiss.

I hope so.

For DP all I have to do is send him a few dirty texts of promises for the night ahead, buy him a bottle of cheap but nice wine and stick a DVD on for us to watch when the kids are in bed. If I wear my sexy underwear whilst we are watching it he will think all his valentines days have come at once.

Believe me, he is easily pleased.

Nah. We buy cards, but I think he wouldn't if he had the choice. I do dream that one day he'll surprise me with a dozen red roses.

No we're both skint, and neither of us are huge VD (!) fans anyway tbh. Although having said that dh has been known to get a card for me out of the blue before now, so thanks for the reminder I had better buy / make one for him just in case!

No - it's been less than a month since we came desperately close to splitting up - and although we've agreed to try and rebuild our relationship I don't think he feels we've moved on far enough with it again to do anything for Valentines. I may be suprised - but I don't think there'll be much happening this year. I'll probably getting him a card though.

We never celebrate Valentine's Day because it's my birthday the week before. Wedding anniversaries are enough for us. This year I have to go to a governors' meeting on 14th anyway.

I know its made up by card companies and florists etc, but I still love it and love to get a card etc.

My DH is not very romantic and I was moaning about that last year to my colleagues at work, unbeknown to me about an hour before he had called and booked me the day off work (VD) and didn't tell me until the day before. Of course everyone else at work knew this and jokingly encouraged me in my moaning!

We have said we will get each other a card, but to be honest I think I will get him a card & he will say he was too busy to get me one. He never quite manages to get cards.

No
