You know, when 2 people love one another, it is ok to show feelings. If he knew I was having a bad day the day before why is he lacking balls by leaving something like this the next day?

Why would it be wrong for me to do the same every once in a while?

I don't want to. I don't want to be yet another tool making reservations at some restaraunt with a bunch of other tools trying to impress their SO.

I told her we should buy some really good food that we normally don't buy along with some good wine and make a meal at home together. No gifts, no cards, no chocolates, and no BS.

Or maybe I'm just getting way to grumpy for my age.
I'm on the same page. There's nothing wrong with your suggested activity. I hate the idea of supporting yet another facade of commercialism. And now we get to see it in our face the moment Santa comes. Grrr! Why not show our love and affection all the time. It's ridiculous- so it's fun for kids but the hype is disgusting and I'm sick of it! I also think some people use it as a day to make up for their #€Â£Â¥%# behavior. Oh goody you bought me chocolates you "must" be the best lover ever....ZZzzzz

No.

You've heard of the St. Valentine's massacre? Tools who tried not to celebrate


[apologies if the joke was already made. And it should have been]

We don't celebrate it as neither of us care about holidays - including VD, Easter, Christmas, or even birthdays, etc. We do usually go out for dinner on our anniversary, but sometime forget it (we remembered two weeks later this last one), and occasionally will do the same for birthdays. Every day is special - so we don't need designated days where we are expected to do something we do already all the time.

So did she seem to approve of this idea? I wouldn't go for it, personally, but it depends on your SO.

I love your idea! I don't need one more piece of chocolate, there isn't a gift I need either, just for the sake of buying something.

How did she respond to your suggestion? That's really all that matters, is that she's on board with it.

My fiancee bought the fondue pot off our registry so we're doing fondue and champagne/wine!

No gifts this year.

As long as you both agree on it - sounds good to me! We haven't made a big deal about it in a few years. We bought a house, have a baby - basically we have other things to spend our money on and Valentine's Day isn't a priority!

This was exactly what I was going to suggest. A nice dinner at home with candles, and then maybe a good video. Who wants to jam oneself into a crowded restaurant with all the other lemmings? How about getting up early on The Day, and making her a special breakfast? With a little imagination, the day can be truly memorable, rather than a mass-produced Hallmark Card.
