[quote=Anonymous]The fact that he did not get you something is not in itself an issue. DH and I have never done valentines presents. I don't think we ever discussed no-presents when we started dating 25 years ago. We were both just those kinds of people.  He's a practically perfect man, even today. Lack of presents is, in my situation, a total non issue. I agree with the other poster that "gift language of love" is garbage. Like, how can someone be biologically wired to need someone to buy them BodyWorks scented hand lotion?

That said, if you expressly agreed to presents before valentines day, then yes it seems like this is a problem.

But I'm not convinced you agreed to presents. What was the conversation? You said that valentines day was important to you and that you expected him to "do something for it" and then he took you to dinner?  You said valentines was important to you so you planned to get him a gift?  There are lots of conversations that could have been had where he didn't expressly say he was getting you a gift, but that's what you wanted to hear.  But if you both said "yes, we agree we will exchange gifts" and he showed up empty handed, then yes, that's disappointing.

I'd also want to hear what he said after you got him a gift and he was empty handed.  [/quote]
