My boyfriend doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day because he thinks it’s a material holiday, what should I do? (Page 2)

Question

I’ve never had a good Valentine’s Day. I’ve either been cheated on, dumped, or just alone on feb 14th. My boyfriend has made it clear he plans on doing nothing on valentines even though I’ve told him all this. I told him I see Valentine’s as a day to show you appreciate your significant other and it doesn’t even have to be an expensive day, it’s the thought that counts. It makes me really sad because so far I only have negative impressions of holidays with significant others and I want our first Valentine’s Day to be special. I don’t care about giant teddy bears or flowers or chocolate (though it would be nice for once), I just want it to be special. I just know how bad it’s going to hurt seeing everyone else’s s/o doing special and nice things when I’m forced to just accept that it’s just another day. I want to talk to him about it but he just shuts anything I suggest down. What do I do?

He doesn't like you. Take a hint. He won't celebrate valentines day with you because he doesn't like you. He will celebrate valentines day with a woman he feels is worth while.

Ok so I'd dump him and save yourself the heart ache and go out with someone that truly loves you and I don't mean me okay

You could still make it a nice day by making a handmade card and cooking a meal to eat together, spending time together and cuddling later.

Valso · Answer

So don't celebrate it. You don't need a stupid made up celebration to affirm your relationship.

Cheat on him with his brother or best friend, if he can't pamper you then he doesn't deserve you!

Either quit being a gold digger or find another boyfriend. If you need materialistic things to love someone and he doesn't, then the relationship isn't worth keeping and is doomed to fail.

Accept it, live with it and move on.. Or leave him. He is right though it's a manufactured holiday, no more, no less.

What is that the only day he should do something nice for you? What about the other 364 days.

Just forget about it. Most men hate Valentine's day and for good reason. It is *never* good for men.

InferiorElegy · Answer

Prove to him why he's right and why you need materials to prove he loves you.

Realize that Valentine's Day is a creation of big corporations trying to get more money out of you. It isn't a real holiday.

He has a point but he should still make it a special day for you by at least going out and doing something with you
