[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are people so dense?! OP doesn't want to buy her own gifts or remember herself or celebrate her awesomeness. [b]She wants her DH to WANT to do those things for her. It's not about the damn flowers. It's about having someone recognize how special she is to him.[/b] Personally, I find it cruel when a spouse fails to do something they know matters to their spouse. And it's also cruel to make her suffer through her friends and family showing off what they got/did for V Day while she has nothing to show for it. It's a social event, and people ask. It's humiliating to tell people that your spouse didn't give a sh_t and came home with nothing that day. He KNOWS this matters to her. It's not like it's a surprise year after year. He's choosing to emotionally mess with her by refusing to participate. He sucks. [/quote]
Agreed.

Like, don't you like your spouse? If doing something literally so small as buying a box of chocs or a flower bouquet from the grocery store will make your spouse happy and you actively choose against it, why are you even with them? Can you imagine someone being like "wow, my kid would love this $10 item. Oh well, f*** em." It's so unnecessarily harsh when the answer is such a simple fix. [/quote]

Another simple fixes to appreciate the other 250 things that they did for you throughout the year and not worry about this one little thing.[/quote]
It doesn't sound like he celebrates her with 250 other things. Try again. [/quote]

So then they are wrongly obsessed with Valentine's Day. Trying solving the actual problems in your marriage. Not getting chocolates is pretty low on the list. [/quote]
