Sacrilege! That last part, I mean.

Eating snacks is totally OK.

My husband likes it fine, but we're pretty low-key people and typically exchange cards and chocolate and order takeout. We'll probably watch a couple movies while we enjoy our takeout.

^^This. We never made a big deal about Valentine’s Day, especially with having to both get up for work the next day, and not always being in the same zip code anyway.

Because it is a made up commercialized holiday. Some women put too much emphasis on the day and men feel pressured into it. If you love someone you don't need a made up day to show it.

My DH and I don't do holidays but I know he cherishes me everyday with how he treats me and what he says to me. Same goes for him. We don't need a calendar to tell us what and when we should feel for each other.

And if you don't want to do Valentine's you can do Galentine's day. I actually saw Walmart advertising it

No yachts? No luxury cars? You guys need to put your foot down.

Do you have a problem with me paying a compliment to Mikala43? What's your problem???? Everything I've posted lately has been treated as if some underlying malicious intent.

Here's a hint guys: if it is one sided then leave. Consider Valentine's Day a gift that shows you what type of woman you are dating.
Cosigned.

Sometimes people need to take personal responsibility for the crappy situations they end up in. I get you never truly know a person, but if you continuously keep getting involved with crappy people who do nothing but take, some introspection is in order.

As the saying goes: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
