I love him, but he didn't get me anything. When we woke up, he said Happy Valentine's Day, I gave him his present, he said thank you, and nothing else has been said. Do I have the right to be angry? I was not expecting anything huge, just a little card or something....

Oh, and he did know about valentine's day in advance.

He played final fantasy all day also. While I paced around fuming. So typical of men.

of course you have a right to be angry. but some people just don't celebrate valentines day as they see it as a commerically invented day (by Hallmark) and dont like being dictated as to when they should be loving. he should of said this to you instead of keeping quiet. mention it to him to put your mind at ease. i personally don't like valentines day, but my other half is well aware of that and accepts my view.

BS on the "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day" answer. If you were a parent (and Christian) would you say to your kid, "Sorry, I don't celebrate Christmas." Whether you like it or not, Valentine's Day is on the calendar and unless both people mutually agree that the holiday is meaningless, then you are expected to celebrate it the same way the kids would expect you to celebrate Christmas. I think, if there was no gift, and no communication then you are perfectly justified to leave him. That shows a lack of caring for your feelings, and also that lack of communication is not good when maybe there would be more serious issues. Actually, the more I think about it.... dump him.

Sorry, got no better. But I've been married a lonnnnngggg time. And I expect that. (Unfortunately!) But at least mine was sorry a little and we agree that Valentines Day is too way over done. We show how we feel 365 days a year. But I'll admit. A big diamond surprise would have floored me. But he's not the plan ahead guy too much. I have to be with him generally. We're so tied at the hip! ugh BUT I LOVE HIM MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some men and women do not get into giving gifts on special days because they didn't grow up with the example, doesn't mean he isn't there for you. Next time give him suggestions a week in advance, and it wouldn't hurt to come right out and ask him why he didn't. Don't be mad it isn't worth arguing over, its better to be in good moods time is precious and we don't know how much we have it can be gone at a moments notice!

I didn't get anything either, but don't feel bad. I didn't get anything for my b-day or our anniversary. I am a college student and he is the only one working. We have two kids, and are broke all of the time. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't had a libido either since I had a hysterectomy about a year and a half ago. He ignores me and hunts and fishes ALL of the time. We don't talk any more and it physically hurts me when we do get intimate. Cheer up, it could be worse!

I am sorry he did not pick up on the message that was staring him in the face/stores/television/papers for weeks, what he lives on another planet,
He could have apologized, or you could say, you know this is important to me,
So suggest ways he can redo valentines day, say this saturday you and i will have a lovely dinner and a movie,,,
some men feel like they have to perform
the other side of this coin is he always this insensitive, or is there something wrong with his emotional well being,
i would feel sad too,,,sorry you were disappointed,,

If he is Aussie it's because THEY do not think it's Important.In saying that as you gave him one early in the morn seems he is just a selfish ----. Maybe he was broke. ASK HIM. Then get MAD if you do not get a reasonable EXCUSE. You need to HINT before the day to let men know you expect and hope for something. Do not let him get away with this again as you will just keep giving and he will just keep taking.

No you do not have a right to be angry. You shouldn't expect a gift. He didn't ignore the day or you. He just didn't do what you thought he should do. You could let him know you were disappointed and hope that next year he does better. We discuss what we want to do. Go to dinner or whatever. My sweetie knows i like cards and chocolate. So he gave me a card and a Hersey's candy bar. Nothing elaborate but thoughtful.

do not be angry, maybe he'snot just onto material things and not very sentimental and not very good at expressing his self but the moment he greeted you happy valentines is his way of saying he loves you... Cheer up darling

Well, there are some guys like that, they do not believe in this day. Maybe you should have talked to him about it before or hinted to him what you expected.
