Bloody nightmare every year. I think we have fallen out at least 7 times out of the 10 Valentines Days we have been together. Expectations are always set way too high which just sets you up for a big disappointment. Tomorrow it's (1) Nice Card (2) Bottle of nice/expensive perfume to open (3) Cute mug - to replace the one she hinted was broken at work (4) bring flowers home from work and (5) M&S meal for 2 - cooked by yours truly for a change (6) watch all her stuff and stay off the Ipad for the evening........................and yet I'll bet ya it still all goes wrong!! :-(

I'd expect Anal for all of that !! Must be where I'm going wrong !!
Just to prevent any arguments with the wife I make it clear a week or two before Valentines that I think it is a total con job and will not be buying her a card or present. We treat each other throughout the year and I don't need to be prompted as to when I need to show her affection. I've got away with it so far.
"I'm going to buy the Mrs flowers and a card and take her to dinner all because clinton cards tell me to"
Ridiculous
I completely agree but not worth the shit I'd face from 'Er Indoors if I just ignored it totally. Hence a token card and a vague promise to take her out for dinner some other time.
I first started seeing my Mrs around valentines and made it clear from the start how much I thought it was a load of crap . I buy her flowers lots throughout the year and surprise her with other gifts when I can. No one should need to be told when to show someone you love them and anyway there's hardly a day goes by when I don't tell her this.

Out of curiousity, does she get you anything?
I normally buy at least a card but this year reckon I will take the moral high ground like Buckshee!
