Who else doesn't care about Valentine's Day?

[goofygirl]

Even when I was part of a couple, I still didn't care about V-Day. I am just not into it. I don't like cute stuffed animals. I have enough jewelry. I eat chocolate all year. I dine out all year. Flowers don't excite me. Besides, V-day is days away from my birthday, which is more important to me.

I couldn't care less about V-day! It's all hype.

Here! I hate it- it is just pressure to spend more money on things you don't need. Chocolate- I buy that all year. Flowers- my cats just eat 'em. Clothes- I don't want him picking those Diamonds- I'd rather go to Disney World.I mean, we just had Christmas...

 

[Bob Slydell]

Could care less about it -- then again, the same applies to birthdays as well. Fortunately, I'm married to someone who thinks that same as I do.

 

[Fitswimmer]

Oh, me either. I have told every significant other I have ever been with-DO NOT go nuts and spend big $$$-we'll go out on another night. We usually rent movies and hang out at home. Last year I had just had surgery and BF bought me an Xbox 360 to keep me occupied while I was healing. That was kind of a present for both of us though.
This year we may get a Wii-if we can find one.

You both should have married my DH. He hates Valentine's Day. I really like it. I would love to get flowers and a card. I don't think it is too much trouble or expense, really.

Love Stinks. Yeah, yeah.

No big deal at our house and we're fine with it.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

I don't care about it, either. We also eat out quite often, and when we want chocolate or flowers or whatever, we just buy them, whether Hallmark tells us it's the right day or not.

Before we were married, dh used to send me flowers pretty regularly. After we got married and I started seeing how much they cost , I told him I'd rather he save the money to use for baubles and vacations.

He'll still bring home flowers once in a while as a surprise, but he gets a cheap bouquet from the grocery store or something, just as pretty IMO as ones from the florists.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

No bid big deal for me or DH.
It's just another Hallmark holiday to me.

 

[Beth76]

I don't like it. Mainly because it means more candy and sugar for my kids. We don't go out for V-day or get gifts. Although DH did buy me some slippers that I wanted (they were supposed to be a b-day gift though). He gave them to me already since it's so cold. So now that means I have to go out and get him something. Chocolate no doubt.

Happily married....and it isn't my thing. It is just a another corporate holiday to sell their candy, flowers and greeting cards. I would much rather get these things on a random day, then they mean something. Instead of being made to feel like you have to show your love on one day a year.

 

[RickinNYC]

V-Day is not a big deal in our house whatsoever. We've been together long enough to not really care about things like that. Joe put it so well one year, "I don't need a date on a calendar to remind me how much I love you and I know you know that. Wanna get a burger for dinner?"

I laughed so hard, but couldn't help but agree.

Good burger too.

 

[MushyMushy]

I'm not the biggest fan of V-day, but my DH is so I go along with it. He's a big romantic sap, but not me. I prefer smaller gestures.

 

[sugarpie]

I really could care less about Valentine's Day. I tell my husband every year that I don't want the overpriced ugly bouqet of roses that he sends me every year, but every year he wastes money on it.

What I would like is thoughtful little surprises throughout the year. Maybe one flower, or mop the floor, or something.

 

[safetymom]

Add me to the list.

 

[Am_I_There_Yet]

I don't get into it either. You're not alone. I'm also not big on exchanging Christmas or B-Day presents!

And... I don't like roses. Don't tell my DH that though - he sends them to me all the time. I'm a wildflower kind of girl.

 

[hydster]

Another one here who hates V-Day. I don't need someone to tell me what day my spouse is supposed to make me feel special. He does it every single day!

I always gag when it gets near V-Day at the expectations some of my friends have from their husbands/SO's. They get almost as excited over V-day as they do over Christmas.

 

[LindaR]

I don't care either! Not that it matters, but I've been single for 17 years (it was the same even when I was married) and if I want diamond jewelry, I go buy it. If I want to go out to eat (which dd18 and I do 2-3 times a week) then I do. If I want flowers for the dining room table, then I go buy the ones I'm in the mood for. I plan my own vacations (and pay for them, too).

I have been this way forever! If dd18 and I want something, we buy it. We don't wait til xxxholiday. We do "special" stuff all year long. Wouldn't change that for anything. When I bought her a car (when she was 15), it just "showed up" in the driveway........wasn't a holiday....was just a cool surprise!

 

[JunieJay]

I'm not a big holiday person, the only ones I really care about are Easter, Fourth of July, and Christmas. Could care less about Valentine's Day, and let DH off the hook many years ago when I told him not to bother getting me anything. He usually does anyway, usually a spa day or something along those lines. But if for some reason he didn't, I wouldn't be at all upset or unhappy.

 

[KristinBelle]

We don't do Valentines Day, just another day to me. We also don't celebrate mothers, fathers and all those other "holidays".
