Can't stand these types of posts.
Tell us what you did for him. |

| I bought him some chocolates, but I probably won’t give them to him. I’m just feeling really sad. |

| Mine! I haven't done anything for him, either. It's much easier this way. |

| If you need a day out of the year to show love, then you're screwed. Real families and couples have things to do. |

My husband, who has inattentive ADHD and is incapable of planning ahead, has hit on the plan of watching the news regularly to know when such holidays are upon him, and suggesting we get a fancy dessert on the actual day. He's also made chocolate treats himself, when he's had the time.
But shopping for Christmas or birthday presents? Not on your life. He will look up from his work on Christmas Eve and ask what I got for everyone, including the kids. And sometimes not even that - he just finds out when they open their presents. He will get me one useful, practical gift on Amazon, but I'm the only person he shops for. I hope your husband hasn't entirely forgotten, OP. Maybe you can suggest something this evening. |

We usually exchange cards, but this year we agreed not to. We always do dinner out about a week before, which coincides with a different milestone and avoids the crowds.
The question is whether both people are on the same page about expectations. If you aren't, that's legitimately disappointing and I'm sorry, OP. |

| I suspect he hasn’t forgotten. He is on Instagram a lot, and people and businesses are making all kinds of Valentine’s postings. I suspect he thinks it is not worth making the effort, which is worse than forgetting. |

| We’ve never done anything and I do feel sad about it. I wish I had thought I was worth a little effort when we got together twenty years ago - it’s not his fault, I didn’t want to be demanding. I probably need to reset so we at least do a little something. |

| Both of us. We don’t do Valentine’s Day. Never really have. Married 24 years. |

We love everyday. This day is no different plus I have 3 family size bags of chocolate drops. I really don't need candy.
He went to Home Depot and bought wood for his shed he's building. I cooked. He about fainted. I don't really cook anymore. Sharing the love. |

Big let down compared to last year, huh? |

I hope for daily affection, kindness, and love. I never seek it on a calendar appointed day.
Grow up and stop wasting money & time. |

Oh, when do the chocolates get unwrapped? |
