Annoyed on valentines.

So I woke up today in a great mood with the kids, my partner got in late last night so he was sleeping till 12. I was gonna do him breakfast in bed but he told me he wasn't gonna have time as he has to go to work. I set out his present and his cards on the table so when he wakes up he can see them. He woke up at 12 and stayed in bed for half an hour he didn't even come in to say happy valentines or just to spend some time with us as he's gonna be working all day/night. Anyways he came in the living room gave me a kiss and opened his presents and card from me and the kids, it's his first Valentine's Day as a dad so I got him a card from our daughter & my son. Anyways come to find out he didn't get me anything, no flowers, card or even a balloon lol. I don't give to receive because I love buying gifts for people but as my partner why did he not even make an effort to get me a card? He knows I love special occasions. The fact he's gonna be at work all day as well he didn't even think about how I was gonna feel. Just feel a bit sad am I over reacting?

Do you think that perhaps he has a lot on his plate? With working I mean. Maybe he could be far away in his own head? I’m sorry to hear that though and it’s nice to receive stuff on special occasions. Me and my partner decided to go watch a movie tomorrow as a late valentines thing. I paid but he’s paying for food just before and that’s a joint gift for the both of us. Words cost nothing though and he could have said something. Does he like celebrating valentines as well? A lot of people don’t actually like celebrating it, but if he doesn’t he should have let you know and you both could have made some compromises. Your feelings are valid, but I would gently talk to him, tell you how it made you feel and ask him how he was feeling this morning

Your feelings are valid, but some men don't care for holidays as we do my guy doesn't either I also didn't get anything but I'm use to it because he doesn't celebrate it but the thought that they know how we feel about it and still don't do is crazy to me idk men are weird

@Dionne we talk about his work all the time and ge hasn't really mentioned anything to me that might suggest he's having a hard time. But he does celebrate it, this is our fourth valentine's we've been together so I know it's not that. But thank you for your reply I think I am gonna let him know how I feel x

@Bunny that's the thing tho he literally does celebrate it we celebrated it last year & I know he ain't forgotten about it because he works at a restaurant so he's had to do a valentines menue😂I just dunno maybe he hates me lol

Maybe you'll get something later men are last minute

Hm that’s odd then. Could he perhaps be keeping a surprise for you until after he finishes? My partner did it to me on my first Mother’s Day. Didn’t say happy Mother’s Day, but then a little later on he ended up surprising me with stuff. He left it in his car but just decided to not get it until later on lol. Or maybe he has something planned for another day? That’s the only other things I can think of

@Bunny @Dionne hopefully lol, I've been so down recently and he knows that, I just wanted today to be a bit special if that makes sense.

Fingers crossed he brings something home later

Erm, update. He didn't even come back home last night, he said he went out after work and stayed at a friends house as he was too drunk to come home. Now im starting to feel like there's someone else

Awh I’m sorry he did that he is very wrong I hope he isn’t and just made a dumb move your feels are valid and u should tell him how that made u feel because he is very wrong
