There could be various reasons why your boyfriend is not getting you anything for Valentine's Day despite you getting him gifts in the past. It's possible he may not place as much importance on the holiday, he might be facing financial constraints, or he may not fully understand your expectations. Communication is key in understanding each other's perspectives and addressing any concerns you may have. It's important to have an open and honest conversation with him about your feelings and expectations regarding gift-giving on Valentine's Day.

It sounds like you're feeling undervalued and unappreciated, especially on occasions like your birthday and Valentine's Day. It's understandable that these moments are important to you, and it's natural to feel hurt when they're not acknowledged or celebrated. While your boyfriend may contribute in other ways and have financial concerns, small gestures like a heartfelt message or inexpensive flowers can mean a lot. It's crucial to communicate your feelings to him openly and honestly, expressing how his actions, or lack thereof, impact you emotionally. Setting clear expectations and boundaries can also help ensure that both of you understand each other's needs and can work towards meeting them. If your needs consistently go unmet and you don't feel valued in the relationship, it's important to reassess whether it's a healthy and fulfilling partnership for you in the long term.

My boyfriend forgot our one year anniversary and now Valentines Day I asked him and the answer was he just forgot... in my opinion (male or female) you make time for what matters to you personally and if u care u will make an effort... forgetting happens but when it's consistent then somthing is up.

Have u talked to him about it? Let him know how u feel? Is there a story behind it?

Girl I've been crying to him for 4 years now. Birthdays... valentines day. This year he forgot to even say happy birthday. He also said we are going out this weekend and I'm not going to remind him. If he forgets I'm done with him. I was going to leave him but that's when I found out I was pregnant and wanted to work on things. He also has said he doesn't like or want to celebrate birthdays and holidays anymore because then he will feel obligated to get people gifts and he doesn't have money like that. But $5 flowers?

I don't know you... but you deserve somone that's going to put effort into making u happy... we all do!
