Would you be hurt if he said this to you?

So I don't know if I'm just being an emotional wreck or what, but I never have made a big deal about valentines day ever. I mean sure it's nice to cook a nice dinner, maybe watch a movie or something but nothing over the top.
It's my first valentines with my boyfriend and I was planning a low key affair, was going to cook his favorite meal and dessert, make the place look nice with some candles and such. So I got up this morning and texted him and said "Happy Valentines day xoxo...Can't wait till you get home..have a surprise for you"...so I wait a few minutes and THIS is what he texts back "happy Tuesday"...

Happy Tuesday wtf??? I'm not expecting nor want gifts or anything, but really is it to much to just say it back? My feelings are really hurt over it and I'm not even into cooking dinner or doing anything now. Am I overeacting or would you feel like this too?

  • Men, if you plan to make this long term, need to be trained. Not every guy was born to be the perfect romantic. I had to put a good 3 years into my husband before he turned into an amazing gift giver and holiday celebrator. Just let your guy know what the day means to you and see if he'd like to celebrate it that way.

  • STFU, Anon. She asked a question in a polite fashion. Not everyone is sensitive to the same things. No need having a freakin' aneurysm over it.

  • I wouldn't be hurt because I feel that you can celebrate your love any day of the year.

  • Sounds like he was just trying to be funny and if I were you, I wouldn't get too upset about it. Alot of people feel like Valentine's day is just a commercial holiday and would rather put more effort into a day that means more to your actual relationship like an aniversary etc. I would still go about your plans and try not to worry about it so much. Have fun!

  • If these kinds of things are important to you, then this is probably not a match. I think Valentine's Day causes more fights than any other day of the year, and for what? Because somebody somewhere has declared it the day of love?? I think it's ridiculous, but if it's this important to you, you need to look for another boyfriend and not try to change this one into something he's not.

  • I just find it amusing  the stuff that upsets some "women"... gee wiz... they sound like my teenage daughter.


    She is upset over Happy Tuesday??? Really?!


    But I will give the the benefit of the doubt and lets just say that "Happy Tuesday" IS actually horribly offensive.  My advice would be to TALK TO HIM.  Dont sit and whine.  Let him know (politely) that Valentines IS important to you.  That although you dont want/need a gift you would like him to reflect back the sentiment of the day.


    OR dump him.  Basically his is a boyfriend NOT a husband.  Dating is to decide if you want to marry someone and spend your life wiht him.  If he doesnt have the same values as you do, if he doesnt find the same things important... then it is simply not a match.  no one is wrong.. you just are not right for each other.

  • If Valentine's Day is important to you, and he ignores that, then that's not a good sign for the relationship. Some people don't see VDay as a big deal (I do, so I found a husband that does as well) but even if they don't, and know that you do, then they should go out of their way to make it nice for you.

  • Good Lord.... YES you are over reacting.


    PLEASE tell us this is a joke post and that you REALLY are not seriously upset over THAT.


    Or tell us you are pregnant and your hormones have momentarily taken over your brain.


     


    YOU ARE MAKING ALL WOMEN LOOK BAD if you are seriously upset over something SOOOOO trivial as that.
