If he isn't the emotional type any other day, what would make you think this would bring it out of him? Maybe he didn't bring it up b/c he felt bad that he couldn't buy you something nice? Maybe he forgot it was vday? Maybe he is waiting for YOU to say it! (vday isn't just for women you know)
My husband said happy valentines day, but thats it. I am kind of bummed
Does he show you that you're loved/liked every other day?
"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification" Romans 14:19
Yeah he should have wished you a happy valentines. And cards from dollar general are like two for a dollar. they dont get cheaper than that. I have argued this to my husband for years.
My husband went out all night without me valentines last year (i was sick, but still). Last night he got home past one in the morning. I usually get no card. I have literally stopped expecting anything at all. Men are just stupid when it comes to this stuff.
Now, it's kids' school parties and heart shapes pizza dinner. We're secure in our marriage and life and don't need flowers to prove it. Plus I'll prolly get done up proper later so who cares lmao.
Media and society hypes us up on this stuff and it's sad. Enjoy your relationship mama, let that other stuff go. :)
Quoting jillbailey26:Does he show you that you're loved/liked every other day?
This. So many of us forget that we (and our SO) need to feel loved every day, not just once a year. Why should we only feel cherished one day a year?
And no, I am not against Valentine's, my DH and I go out every year (though never on the14th). Some years we buy cards and gifts and other years we don't. It doesn't bother me because he shows me he loves me every day of the year.
