[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For at least five years, my husband has done nothing for Valentine's Day.  Before that, he would get me a Whitman's Sampler from the drugstore.  I used to get him clothing or something personal, but then switched to his favorite candies.  For the last few years, I have started doing nothing as well since it felt even worse getting him something and then being forgotten.  I always get my older children a Valentine's gift bag with candies and little gifts because I never want them to feel forgotten.  A few years ago, my husband asked why I got the kids gifts because they are young adults, and I said that it's sad to be forgotten on Valentine's Day.  He saw me crying once on Valentine's Day, back when I was still kind of surprised that he would forget me.  I know I could point-blank ask him to get me a gift or go out to dinner, but that just seems pathetic.  It is so easy to grab a gift -- grocery stores, drugstores, etc. have flower and candy displays at the front of the store each year.  You almost have to go out of your way to ignore the holiday.

A grown up WOULD communicate directly about expectations. A child cries in a corner hoping someone notices. That’s manipulative.

Also know Valentines Day is a fake holiday that is for children. Your anniversary, birthdays etc are more important. [/quote]
