See, this is the sad, gray direction I'm headed. Where I would say something like "We got mom her favorite chocolate covered cherries for Valentine's Day and then we all went together for brunch." Where mom=wife. Blech. Comes with age, I guess.

V-Day for the B-J!
Smart man. Lazy men who make no effect are not getting any on V-Day.
Lotsa lazy women still getting flowers and chocolates, though! Crazy world.
Well you married a loser.
I know.

I think a lot of women prefer not to make a big deal out of Valentine's Day, but feel weird if their husband does absolutely nothing. Like a bouquet of flowers or a small gift is nice, but I think it's kind of weird when married people go all out. Going out to dinner on Valentine's Day can be a big PITA compared to just about any other day, and a lot of the generic gifts (red roses, heart shaped box of chocolates) feel cheesy and, well, generic.
But also if your husband does nothing, especially if he's a particularly effusive guy to begin with, it feels almost like an insult. Valentine's Day can be an excuse for otherwise unromantic men to do something a little thoughtful and romantic, which usually makes women feel good.
I’m pretty sure….YOURE NOT A MAN!
