Nope hallmark holiday per my spouse
I’ve been with my husband for 11 years and we both didn’t get anything. Sometimes a holiday makes it easy to feel unappreciated over a lousy gift. As long as he loves you and treats you right, well that’s all that should matter. Valentine’s Day is a day where you log onto Facebook just to see everyone boast on what they got. Half those people don’t even have a loving relationship with their significant other.

In the three yrs me and my husband have been together hes only gotten me a Valentine’s day gift once and that was a huge surprise since he hates that day as its his uncles birthday and he died and hes never gotten over it. And hes the only one whos ever gotten me a gift without me picking it out or telling him what i want. And i may take care of the house and kids but he still appreciates me. Everyday he works he will come home on break to give me kisses amd to see if im ok
My wife and I don’t generally do anything for each other for any holiday. We do a birthday trip for each of our birthdays with our friends (also for their birthdays) and then we do a trip for just us once a year. And that is our gift to each other for the year. We live together and spend every day together and share our finances. Throughout the year she may pick me up something she knows I’ve been wanting or vice versa, but we don’t do something because it’s a holiday. Don’t fall into the hallmark money maker.
He might be going through something himself that has nothing to do with you but the timing is sure crappy. Does he usually get you something? Do you usually exchange gifts? Maybe he didn’t know how to react to a different kind of gift, I am sure my husband would have awkwardness about it, I think it’s a guy thing. I do think he could have picked up SOMETHING for you, and if he forgot then the next day, weather permitting, or could have offered to cook for you, or watched the kids while you took a bubble bath and did your nails or something…just to make an extra effort to pamper a little if it’s a budget thing , as we all know how that can vary year to year 
Ask him when the kids aren’t around. Give him a chance to open up to you. Best of luck.
Nothing for Valentine’s day either it’s the every day stuff that matters we have been married for 40 years this month.
You’re not wrong for wanting appreciation on the one day out of the year dedicated to appreciating your significant other. Your job at home is a lot harder than a lot of ppl think and is 100% irrelevant to the stupid comments about Texas like that’s the topic of this post. I work so I get my time away from the household duties which is never ending. I hope he realizes how much you do, that’s never a good feeling. Maybe sit down and talk to him. Guys are not always fast at picking up hints. And just ignore the ppl who took the opportunity to shame you for not making this about Texas.
I didn’t get another either but were snowed in BUT my fiancé did make dinner on Valentine’s and we played uno with my daughter it’s the little things that matter the most. He’s my world and the little things mean the most. Yes flowers candy jewelry etc is nice but spending time together means more to me, last year I got roses and my heart necklace that I wear all the time and for Christmas/New Years I got my engagement ring I couldn’t ask for anything more
Nope. Sorry you are going through it. Stop cooking and cleaning that will wake up your husband
