Me for one.
I've been laid up with a stomach bug (haven't been out of the house for 4 days) plus rushed off my feet with our 10 week old baby son, Arthur, and I hadn't got my Other Half anything for Valentine's Day!
He got me cards from both him and Arthur, a big cuddly plush Valentine dog and a **huge** bouquet was delivered to the door just after he left for work!!
I said I was sorry and would get him something for when he came home tonight but he still left the house in high umbridge and not very pleased with me at all.
I rang up a local florist and arranged them to deliver a "man's" bouquet to him at work, plus just popped out and bought him a card and some chocs (he is a chocoholic).
Do you think that'll save me? What else should I do?!?! I feel really bad about it!

Please do not feel badly, everyone becomes ill on occasion. You could not help it.
I am always in the dog house. I live alone with two lab mixes!!!

You mean to tell Me that You forgot to get Him something for Valentine's Day? Public flogging is too good for some people! You do realise that You are never going to live this down, don't You? This will come back to haunt You for years to come. From now on everytime You are running late it will be "Yeah, just like Valentine's Day" (accompanied with a lowering of the face towards the floor, and a slow, sad shake of the head) Or else You will get the old "I remember when She still loved Me" routine in front of His Friends (tears optional).
Now You know what Men have to go through. Forgiveness? What's that? Is it still in Women's vocabularies?
Give Him a book full of "Prepaid in advance I forgive You for whatever it it You did" tickets that He can use the next time He stuffs up! And tell Him that "Valentine's Day is a Girl thing!"

Ouch. That's unfortunate. However, I think your husband should be at least a LITTLE forgiving. You did just give birth a few months ago, and you've been sick and not out of the house. How far in advance did he expect you plan for today? I think you've done plenty to make up for your slip. Follow it up with a nice surprise dinner tonight for the two of you (can you send a baby that small to be watched by a family member for a few hours?), or surprise him by meeting him at work for lunch.
Happy V-Day!

He sounds like a pr*ck!
You we're sick and have a new baby. Maybe such an outlandish gesture from him was out of character... what do you get a guy for Valentines day anyway - why don't you have a steamy evening in together tonight.... I bet thats what he's really angling for after you having a baby.
A sexy little strip tease or some kinky sex act you rarely do would go down a storm.

Oh dear. Perhaps he would have preferred if someone had got a card on your behalf and then you sent it to him. However, you've been ill and have a very young baby so you have plenty on your side of the argument! I'm sure you've made up for it - he was just miffed... I guess you need to think about how it would be around the other way - you would probably have made him feel bad wouldn't you?

honey you don't need to be saved! within a relationship there is "intent" your sick------------ you did not "intend" to be sick with a new baby, you did not "intend" to not show appreciation in the way of a gift. if this man is upset then you have two babies. and you need to feel upset with him and have a back bone and say so. Heads up it isn't fun going through life with a big baby as a partner, did it. and glad it's over.

Sounds like you got yourself a real prize there!
You've been sick for days, plus you just gave birth to his child, and he's got an attitude?
WAKE UP!!! Don't you see how inconsiderate your "Worst Half" is being, expecting presents from you while you are in this situation?

Take away/delivered dinner tonight, whatever his favourite is. Plus maybe have a bath run for him for when he comes in (I know you're pushed for time, but shouldn't take too long).
Get well soon!
