Hello, SG land. I hope all is well with you. I need to vent, so hang on.
Valentine's Day is coming up. I don't celebrate it because I had a relative die on this day, so it has a different meaning to me. In high school, I would celebrate the day instead on another day with my ex. I actually got my first gift of flowers on one of these day before/after Valentine's Day celebrations. Either way, I felt like I was loved.
Things are different with my current boyfriend; he doesn't feel the need to celebrate the day. At all. In fact, I got a bag of cinnamon hearts on Valentine's Day only because I mentioned how much I loved them. I don't expect this year to be any different.
Yes, Valentine's Day is over commercialized and you should show that you love someone everyday of the year, but I can't help but feel a little hurt that it won't be celebrated between me and my boyfriend at all. We've been going out for almost two years now, so it would be nice if he would acknowledge the holiday even just a little bit. I would even be happy with a single rose with a ribbon wrapped around it. However, I know its not going to happen and I can't help but feel disappointed.
While I sit and wish that he'll pull out a box with a necklace in it, I know it won't ever happen- he's just too fucking immature for something like that to happen. Even though he sits and tells me that he loves me, he rarely shows it. I'm always lending him money and driving him all over the place, which leaves me more frustrated than anything else. In fact, when we get together, the day usually revolves around his schedule. For once, I wish he would let me set the day and go from there.
Nothing is worse than contemplating the staying power of a relationship when you're just that much in love.

I'm along the same lines as you regards the day itself we just do a card and a little gift,I really don't like the whole red rose thing. Having said that some people are sooo thoughtless that it's probably a necessary event to jerk their cells into doing something about it Perhaps he'll come good this year?
