Does Your SO Put As Much Effort/Money/Etc Into Your V-Day Stuff As They Expect From You?

I see this a lot. Wife expects flowers, dinner, maybe a present. Husband gets a card...


Funny comments from two different friends about yesterday

Wife
quote:

Shoutout to all the ladies whose men thought they didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day anymore or didn’t have time or forgot

She didnt get him anything but expected it

Another friend
quote:

I can’t wait to see what my wife got me for Valentine’s Day

todays post
quote:

It was nothing, guys. It was nothing

The most overrated holiday we celebrate.
My SO told me specifically not to get her anything. She still got a homemade steak dinner and three roses. She gave me a card and brought a bottle of wine.
We were happy as shite last night.
ETA: neither of us expected anything at all

I told my wife the opposite. I don’t want anything. She likes to buy a bunch of crap. I told her maybe some chocolate and buy yourself some nice lingerie. That’s what I’d prefer.

I buy my wife some flowers, a card, and maybe chocolate, and that’s all. The flowers are often times something to plant like this year she wanted a Jane Magnolia. We’ve discussed anything besides that is ridiculous.

I just don’t care. She doesn’t get me anything but I get her something bc it makes her happy. Sure, I think the whole thing is stupid but it’s just easier to go along with it. Pick your battles.

We agreed no gifts at all this year. She hates wasting money on flowers so that’s a plus.

I got her a card and she cheated by giving me a card with a confirmation printout that she had booked me a massage with a woman at a nice place. Works for me.

My wife spent more on me than I did on her. both were less than $20 and were more thoughtful than materialistic.

We do "more" for each other randomly throughout the year than we do for Valentines.

I did get my wife some roses and a card, but you're pretty much correct. This represents us

Yeah same. I cooked a nice meal, but it was the same as any other night I'm cooking. She sits at the island and we listen to music and talk while drinking a bottle of wine and I cook. Last night was just a nicer meal than normal.

I disagree that these days on face are completely dumb tho. Its nice to set a time to concentrate on things. That doesnt mean waste money on crap though.

Stopped off at Winn Dixie on my way home, picked up a bouquet of pink roses and when I got home, pulled out a vase that I used last year that I stored in the garage, put bouquet in it with water and placed on kitchen table. My wife and daughter pulled up 30 minutes later, found the flowers, she thanked me and the rest of the night I played fo76.

She doesn't exist

Night went well
