My husband forgot valentine's day :(

Danalana wrote: He forgot last year, too. Those are the only ones we've had so far. It's not that I just want "stuff", but it's really nice to be remembered. I'm pretty close to tears

Calimama replied: Awwww hun I'm sorry. Go out and by yourself something expensive.

amymom replied: Awwwww sometimes they just are idiots. Forgive him and make him make it up to you

C&K*s Mommie replied: It's alright. It's really only a day. Anniversaries and birthdays tend to carry more weight in the "remembering" department.
For what it is worth... Happy V-Day!

Twelve Volt Man replied:
She's right....often times, we men ARE idiots! I'm guessing, however, that his forgetfulness is not due to his lack of caring, but due to distraction from work or something else. Hang in there and enjoy a late Valentine's Day this weekend!

Calimama replied: I wanted to add, maybe next year you could make a special Valentine's day for him! Maybe that would help get him into the spirit. Some guys really just don't celebrate.

luvmykids replied:
Most of the guys I know "boycott" Valentines because they think it's just another "girl gets gift" holiday. Still, a card or back rub would have been nice. Don't take it personal

Danalana replied: I know I'll get over it and forgive him...i even left him a note that said I'm not mad....that my feelings were just hurt. My hormones are definitely screwing with me.

Bamamom replied: I'm so sorry - even a card would've been nice! MEN

J-rod replied:
true.... all we did was i got her tulips and we went to a nice dinner just the two of us.


sorry he forgot it.

Boys r us replied: I'm sorry!!!!!

I don't think in today's society that a man can truthfully FORGET v-day..boycott it yes, but not forget! I'm sorry, even if you guys don't believe in going all out with flowers that are 3x their normal price on v-day or doing dinner..just a happy valentine's day from his lips and a card would have been nice! Men can be so pig headed sometimes!

TheOaf66 replied: so sorry, I think it is a little overrated froma guy's perspective but the special woman in your life still deserves some recognition

J-rod replied:
Amen to that

Paprikash replied: I think the important thing is, let's see how he makes it up to you...If he showers you with attention, then you can deign to forgive him!

edited to add: If he's like my DH, he didn't forget, he's a hopeless procrastinator.

jcc64 replied: My dh and I are both from the cynical, "Valentine's Day is an artificial holiday manufactured by Hallmark or florists, etc, to pump up lagging mid winter sales" school of thought. Why don't you guys pick some other random day, and make some special time for each other? That's what it's really all about anyway. He still loves you, hon, he just doesn't need an officially designated day to declare it, kwim?

C&K*s Mommie replied:
that is a good idea about spending time together on another day- picked at the choice of you two.

msoulz replied:
Same school of thought at our home. We express our feelings pretty much daily here, which means more than one day each year.

Danalana replied: I know he loves me...it's not that I doubt that. I just wanted him to think of me, you know? And honestly, it goes back to childhood issues...being neglected a lot. I'm not one to try to be the center of attention, by any means, but I guess I was hoping for something special.

Cece00 replied: I'm with Nichole- I think its pretty impossible to forget V-Day. Hello, its all over the radios, signs, other ppl at work would talk about it....at least that is how it is here.

DH and I express our love to each other constantly, so VDAY isnt a HUGE deal to us...like if he just got me a card, that would be fine.

BUT- I kind of dont think its JUST a girl's holiday. I do as much for my husband as he does for me for VDAY. And we go out to eat as a treat to BOTH of us. Its not like my hubby buys me a gift and I dont do anything for him...I love giving gifts so that is such a foreign concept to me

Danalana replied: Yeah, I got him a sweet card and a heart made of chocolate truffles.
