Dear DH: (re Valentine's Day)

Friday night, which we designated as our VDay date night, when you didn't have any gift for me, I was slightly disappointed.

Saturday, you were working, so no expectation.

Sunday, which was Valentine's Day, I was pretty disappointed that by the end of the night I still had not received anything.

Today is Monday. February 15th. Our alternate date night since the movie theatres were so crowded on Friday. I will be greatly disappointed if I do not receive anything by the end of tonight.
It does not have to be big. A card. A small stuffed animal. A small box of chocolates. A bouquet of flowers. I don't really care what it is or how much you spend on it. But I will be disappointed if I don't get some small acknowledgement of your love for me by the end of the day.
Oh, and you can't pull the I-didn't-know-we-were-doing-gifts thing, because a) we've always done them, and b) I gave you yours on Friday night.

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Your loving wife

    This happens to me every year so I decided to be the one to get him NOTHING this year so he could see how it felt but it backfired on me because he didn't get me anything AGAIN so he was like "I'm so glad we didn't do gifts, I think V-day is so stupid"  UGH! MEN!

  • Honestly, men are pretty clueless.  They don't think like we do, at all.  I vote that you actually send him this letter.  I have a feeling you'd be less likely to be disappointed.
  • I agree with Karen!! Specifically let him know how you feel, don't expect him to read your mind!
  • awe. i'm so sorry you're disappointed!
  • There is a saying that I heard several years ago that seem to help me...

    "Expect nothing 100% of the time"

    This way, you'll never be disappointed.

    that sums it up perfectly
