Not celebrating V-day w/BF

My BF and I have been together for almost 2 years and this year I don't think we are going to celebrate valentine's day. I broke my ankle so I can't really leave the house and he's working and taking care of me full time. As a joke, I got him some cheap cheesy valentine's day candy at Wal Mart a couple of weeks of ago while I was grocery shopping and gave it to him right away just to be cute and funny. I asked him before what he wanted to do and he didn't really have any suggestions. I'm not wanting to make a big deal out of this holiday, but I thought he would at least get me something or say something.The day is not over yet so maybe he will make a gesture.

For what its worth, he has been doing an amazing job of taking care of me since I'm injured at the moment, the house, and the dog while working full time.  I know this is all that matters and if nothing happens today then I still know he loves me and I love him. I'm thinking next month when I'm better taking him out to celebrate v-day and my recovery and to thank him for taking such good care of me.

Is anyone else not celebrating this day with their SO/BF/DH? If you are, what are you doing?

Re: Not celebrating V-day w/BF

  • DH and I just have a nice home cooked dinner. Your BF sounds so sweet because he is taking care of you and your dog. He is showing you that he loves you by doing these things on any given day. He seems like a great guy. Also, the day has just begun.
  • Been with DH 11 years and never actively celebrated Vday (or Sweetest Day for that matter).  We will decide what what we want to do for dinner tonight when I get home from work, the same as any other night.  No cards, candy, flowers, etc.  Hallmark holidays are overrated.  I'd rather have flowers on a random day just because he though I may like them (which happens every once in awhile).  I find our anniversary the only important "love" date and even then we don't even exchange gifts, just treat ourselves to a pricier than normal dinner.

  • He cooked me dinner. It wasn't a 5 course meal, but it was good. He did a lot for me today.
  • my best (female) friend and I went out for dinner and drinks at a new resteraunt that opened in town. her BF is a cop and was on duty that night and mine was out of town for work, so we had a girls night and it was awesome! :)
