My DH has booked a lovely meal for us, and i Usually get card flowers etc, but i do feel the whole thing has gone 2 commercial! If he did those things and it wasn't valentines it wud mean so much more!

I DIDN'T care. We discussed, agreed it would be a waste of time and it turns out we will be separated by circumstance anyway.

And I really didn't care. Until I found out he would be seeing his Ex wife that night. And now it's really bugging me because I can't say much due to 'not caring' about it.

For the record, DP doesn't care about valentines and wouldn't see it as a day different to any other. And I have no fear at all about anything happening with the ex (they're friends but very much not going there again).

It's the symbolic nature of him seeing her on that day that's annoying me.

I don't care. DH cares massively and complains when I've not taken time over the message in his card. He writes from the heart - lovely but makes me cringe because I'm meant to put up the card for all to see on the bookshelves - but I just think a card and Love WinkyWinkola is enough. He's SUCH a girl.

Our Valentine's Day will be spent with the in laws next week. Ho hum.

Dh is going to be away on business and dont think my ds aged 3 will be any good at grand romantic gestures ..oh well just me and mumsnet then

i don't care, i hate these forced occasions

but we will buy each other a card though and i will be expected to feel romantic which translates as 'fancy a shag?'

as a compromise, i have bought dh a card from poundland

Don't care and don't intend to start this year.
