Have any of you females, had your male partners miss Valentine's Day? Like they didn't spend the day with you, or they didn't have flowers and candy sent to you, or didn't even call, text, video chat with you for Valentine's Day? What were your feeling towards them for doing this? Did they make it up to you and celebrate Valentine's Day on another day? Would you stay with them even if they didn't do anything for you on Valentine's? What are your thoughts?
If Valentines day is important to you, and your partner knows that it's important, and he makes NO effort whatsoever, than that's a red flag. I probably wouldn't break up with someone over something like that alone, but it would certainly make me think about my relationship. Those are my thoughts.
I'm not much into official calendar holidays. I'll take a great day whenever I can get one. Standard holidays are mostly social competitions. Do you have any idea how much the prices of roses goes down on February 15? Yet they look exactly the same.
Yeah my Boyfriend and I have talked our Valentine's Day and we will work through it and make things work.
If a man requires a day like Valentines Day to buy me flowers, or candy, or spend time with me, and tell me that he loves me. Then I am not impressed. If he does it on any ordinary day, that's when it has significance.
Maybe next year when Valentine's Day arrives, that one will be different for a change? Only time will tell....
For many couples Valentine's Day is just another day. They do not need a special day to shower their partner with love and affection, because they do it throughout the year. Valentines Day is largely a commercial holiday that raises expectations and obligations, and often leaves people feeling dejected, and disappointed. My husband and I might do something special for each other, or not, but neither of us gets offended or upset about it if it gets forgotten. We have another 364 days in the year to be romantic and loving towards one another. To me, getting flowers or a special gift on a random day is somehow more meaningful, because he wasn't feeling obligated to meet up to some societal expectation to get me a gift on that specific day. Instead, he got it because he was thinking about me and wanted to do something romantic. I do the same for him. Its worked for 17 years so far.
Oh I see. well to me Valentine's Day means a lot to me and shows to me how my partner really feels about me.
My boyfriend and I don't do anything for valentines day anymore really. We do celebrate post valentine's sale chocolate buying fest day though. We've been together for a few years now and after the first one it wasn't really a big deal.
