Valentines Is Lame

We dont do valentines cause we both feel
its a big hallmark holiday and a waste of
money....I dont like the whole forced
lovey dovey thing....It doesnt feel
natural. I know guys hate this holiday
and it doesnt feel right when romance is
forced.
Your thoughts?
Edited to change spelling

Agreed! My hubby and I tell each other
we love each other many times a day and we
don't need to spend money on a
manufactured, commercialised 'day' to show
it.

My husband and I never did it either.
He proposed to me the day after because he
said that it was stupid to do it on the
actual day. And in the 8 years of our
being together he sent me flowers once the
day after v-day, again because the day was
stupid.
I couldn't care less.

I *hate* valentines day.I have *never* has
a good one.Everyone's boyfriend around me
doesn't forget and they do something sweet
and write a love letter or at least get a
doing it teddy bear.Valentines day to me
is a day to remember your loved one and
how good you have it to be with *them*. .
To show them how much you care. . .
.All i've gotten in the past is my gifts
given to me and not talked to because we
fought the day before and a teddy bear. .
.Its suppose to be the thought that
counts,not so you can try and get some
a$s. . .Sorry

Before having .Oni, I dind't care about it
really.
But when I saw the onsie and bib at
.T.J.Maxx for 2 dollars, I couldn't pass
it up.
I made him a homeade card that was el
free-o.
Actually, it's a hoiday dedicated to st.
Valentine. Not a "commercial holiday."

Chris always does something big for
valentines day, but I think now since
brayden is around it's gonna be even
bigger.
We don't live together anymore, and he
hasnt called me all day so I just know
he's up to no good. It wouldnt bother me
if we didnt celebrate it though, its just
nice going out to dinner and such,
especially with brayden because he's so
darn cute in every single way possible.
Even when he's munching on some grub.

The origin of valentines day was a pagan
tradition... Then it evolved into
something that was changed by the
prieasts... So no, technically its not a
commercial holiday..
People have just made it that way because
they are greedy selfish no namers.

technically its not, but thats what we

all about the cards, flowers, and
chocolates. Makes me want to puke.

It's the same as .Christmas: there's no
denying the roots of the holiday but what
it has become is sick-making.

All I want right now is someone that I can
call a valentine. Someone that I love
and that I want to go to bed with and
snuggle with. I dont care about getting
anything I just want someone warm in my
bed with me instead of going to and empty
bed.

Finally!! I wasn't going to start the
thread but I am glad you did. Natalie,
you sound like me.
My husband and I call it happy crappy
hearts day because it's just a way
hallmark preys on people to buy cards and
stuff like that. It's very annoying and I
can't stand hearts and all the love crap;
they make me want to vomit. I think it
means so much more when your someone gets
you something that is not on a specific
date that tells people to get something.
I guess some guys need a date for a
reminder to get something as a lot don't
naturally get things as a "just because I
love you."
i have gotten a lot better about it then
in previous years. I think having my son
has changed me a little. We did some arts
and crafts yesterday and today that had
the valentines theme. Yes, we used hearts
because he loves them! So valentines day
is special with him.
