Am I just too sensitive?

Question

Married for 7 years but together for 10 years. My husband has always expressed how ridiculous he thinks valentines day is.
And always says he gives me everything I need  year round so why should he waste  time and money on February 14. He says it's a silly holiday that women make a big deal about just to post it on fb to show off and compare each others gifts. But it really hurts my feeling every valentine's that I have come home to nothing for the past 3 years. I pretend everything is ok but I always end up super mad at everything else for the next few days. I have explained to him that I wouldn't post it on fb or even tell anyone if he got me a gift it's really just the thought that counts. Just to think of him taking his time to pick out a nice card for me. I was kinda hoping this year would be different since we have been ttc with clomid for 3 months and ttc on our own for 2 years.... anyone else not get anything for valentines?

Answer

Try to make a tradition you guys can both agree on.  Like a Redbox movie and takeout. Something simple but familiar so you know he didn't forget.
We have never really done Valentine's Day. Every year we get pizza and that's about it. Simple but special

Answer

My hubby shaved his face for me, that's all I wanted. I made him dinner, no money spent (okay a little for food) but he knew I wanted to spend the night with him and that I hated his beard lol

Answer

My hubby sent me a happy vday text & email. Exchanged "I loved you's" thats about it. But I don't want a gift for vday, we'll probably go to dinner this weekend

Answer

I went all out for my so and he wouldn't even wake up to go to breakfast with me since we both work at night, you're definitely not overreacting it's hurtful

Answer

If I was in your shoes I'd be upset too. My husband always gets me the same thing every year. Roses, a card and donuts. On his way home today he asked if I needed anything from Walmart and I said hotpockets and Doritos. Pregnancy cravings lol so I assumed he was stopping to get me something for Valentine's Day. He gets home with only the hotpockets and Doritos :( while I'm so gracious he handled my cravings as soon as he fell asleep I burst into tears. I wanted to stuff my face with the chocolate i bought him but I ended up just crying instead.

Answer

Nada. We said we wouldnt do gifts bit a card would be nice. Esp if he'd gotten me a card ftom our son since it's my first as a mom. I got him a card, chocolates and bought dinner. Not a big deal since I'm fine not doing gifts, I agree it's a silly holiday but he hates all holidays so we don't do gifts unless I say go out and buy something we are celebrating this one.

Answer

In your situation I would be upset. It is the thought that counts. My fiance does everything for me all year round too but even though we're literally broke and I specifically said not to bother with the Valentine's Day stuff because we have rent to pay tomorrow he still brought home flowers last minute. I would think a hand written note was kind and thoughtful enough. 3 years of nothing is obserd!

Answer

Mine doesn't do anything either

Answer

I got a card, but my husband didn't think to get a cars for mommy for our little ones. But I don't really know why I expected anything different.

Answer

Do you do anything nice for him any other day of the year?
