I repaired her broom, what more could she want?

For you to pull the trigger.

Neither of us bothered. Commercial bks. I sense she was slightly disappointed that I didn't even get her a card but I really don't care tbh.

25 yrs in and never bow down to Feb 14th marketing , however , up before dawn to write a message in fresh snow on the back deck then left the lights on for her to see whilst the coffee was brewing this morning . Beautiful plus 3c weather and sunny so a ride out on the horses followed by a decent supper , life is good , she still loves me which is an achievement alone .

Bought nothing, rang the wife on the way to a 50km cycle ride. Well SWMBO is in Delhi with her family so technically I bought her the ticket.

Who dared not to bother?

I wimped out and got a card for peace keeping purposes.

She didn't get me one and now I "made her feel bad" so we've had waterworks

Cannot win.

Hah! Neither of us bothered this year.

(Actually I ordered something and it didn't arrive on time...)

But this is what I had to say on the matter a while back...

I don't bother with Valentines and she is aware of this, but I do randomly book us nights away on the few occasions per year that we don't have any kids

It just so happened that we didn't have the kids on Saturday so I took her to a lovely country pub in Gargrave for the night, and then we spent the day pootling around Skipton yesterday. In return she booked us into the local (to the pub) Indian on Saturday might and paid for the meal

Worked for us

Thankfully my wife is also of the opinion that's it's another commercial event, so we never bothered with it.

Same here but we do do cards

wow attitudes have changed, when I've mentioned on here in the past that hallmark day gets a swerve from me I had my sanity and intelligence questioned.
