My boyfriend and I both think that Valentine's Day is the most Hallmark-driven holiday. Do any of you who are in relationships agree with this?

I totally agree. I feel the same way about Mother's Day and Father's Day. For the record, I am a mother. I think that people should do nice things for their "Valentine" if and when they WANT to - not because it is expected. The same goes for Mother's and Father's Day. Parents know when their kids are just doing things because they feel they "should", rather than because they truly enjoy doing these things. I say, if you and your boyfriend don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day, and you are both happy with that, then you both have a pretty secure relationship and sound happy. Blessings to you both!

I have been married for 10 1/2 years and we have done the Valentines thing many times, but looking back we really spent a lot of money just for that. I think in the beginning of a relationship it is nice, but once you are committed, you really don't need to spend that kind of money. A card and a little something else maybe, but flowers, card, candy and stuffed animals?, that might be going a little overboard. My husband and I didn't even do Christmas for each other this past year because we were more worried about getting our child things, and it was kind of nice not having to worry about it for each other, ha ha. Less pressure and stress!

My husband and I have been together for nineteen years, and it's not a holiday we focus on. I would much rather receive flowers or a special card any other day of the year, then one that reminds him to send one. Besides....roses, and many other flowers are two to three times their normal cost at Valentines... what's the point.
Enjoy a quiet night at home like the rest of the sane people who know it's an overly commercialized, non-sentimental holiday.

you like her to the factor have been it hurts you. i myself study the full element. curiously she does not have her priorities so as. i think of she might produce different difficulty that are hurting her relationship with you. If she's utilising factors with out administration then something is faulty. She desires to strengthen up. Harsh yet real. she will't sit down here taking part in video games. the real worldwide does not function like that. As for the cheating, you're an particularly forgiving guy or woman. i does no longer tolerate it. particularly, i think of race has little to do with this and you're able to no longer sense insecure. I dealt with Black and White adult men, no genuine distinction. stay pals together with her for now and flow stay your existence. curiously, she does not comprehend what she has in front of her and has assorted becoming as much as do. in case you adult men are meant to be jointly that is going to ensue. flow on guy. shifting on isn't undemanding yet you're able to desire to. You deserve greater effectual and can do greater effectual. discover a woman that respects you.

Absolutely. What the hell, if they suddenly invent Husband day, i won't expect to get anything!.... a scam.
(Having said that, i have to do a little token gesture or else she will be a little sad... but not to the ridiculous extent that some women take this)
Between christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, mother/father days... one has to draw the line somewhere... no wonder so many people have debt issues!!!!

A relationship is about you and your partner, not about showing everyone else what you have. I agree valentines doesnt have to be a big deal.

My hubby, of 16 years, and I totally think it is STUPID. How can it be romance with today's advertising it as soon as Christmas is over and even before! I appreciate the gifts I get just because. My favorite candy bar left on my pillow on no "important" day, the fact that he warms the leather car seat for me on a cold day, that he will drive me to my doc's appointment 50 miles away just to be with me. That's romantic to me!!!!!!!!!!!!
