We have never really done Valentines. We both think its crazy. Plus my birthday is always a week before Valentines so we just go all out for that.

However many it takes for both you and your wife to realize what an artificial day Valentine's is.

Mine don't give a shite. I'll surprise her with something on a day when it's not expected.

I look forward to buying a gift for my sweetie when we're in our nineties.

after a few years (5)they may say they dont care and they probably wont if you dont buy them anything but if you do, then you get extra brownie points.

My wife doesnt expect anything and nor do I, but it's nice when we surprise each other.


FWIW, I've been married 12 years and we still get each other a little something every year.

We normally just stay home and have steak and shrimp. I'll buy flowers every few years if the mood strikes, but she doesn't care if I don't.

Good move. Once you go large, the standard has been set.

Well, yeah.

He runs the service.

Remember, you aren't really dead if you aren't forgotten.

I just got a text from my dad with a picture of the new car he bought her today, a red Volvo. 34 years.

We have never done valentines day. We never really thought we needed a certain day to do nice things for each other. Plus trying to go out to eat on valentines day is aggravating with that many people out
