Those with partners that’ll work all day tomorrow (vday) does this make you sad?
Show your support
Maybe look into counseling or try to communicate with him about your wants and desires for your marriage / union 💕💕 also a gift need not be expensive it’s the thought that counts and date night can be inexpensive as well or even at home in a different area of the home where the kids aren’t
Last year we did a nice dinner on a different day. It’s more preferable that way since nice places are so busy on vday. I do understand being bummed to not really spend time with him on the specific day, but I think it’s nice to just plan a special date day/night a different day since it’s not really about the specific day
You can always do a Vday dinner on Sat. I celebrate all weekend. I’m going to a Galentines Sat night. If that day clashes then plan it for the next day. It still counts Xx (my bday and Mday I also celebrate all weekend)
It’s literally just a day.
I wanted to do a valentines breakfast for him but will not get up at 5 am to do so lol so I’m making a nice dinner for him and doing a dessert board for after 😊
Valentine's Day is nonsense!
Just pick a different day. Unless there was an event on that specific day you were looking forward to attending, I don't see it as a big deal. Just because the calendar said it's this day, doesn't mean you need to follow that. (How I feel about almost all holidays, most are arbitrary made up dates anyways)
My partner is also working late but we said we can do something nice together Saturday instead. Maybe suggest you can spend time together at another point so you can still make each other feel special 😊
Not really. My husband and I always celebrate Valentine’s day on a different day bc we get tired of seeing so many people on this day. You should talk to him about it though. He won’t understand your feelings until you do. Your feelings are valid though!!
My husband and I will do something on Saturday since he works until 8pm tomorrow with the kids because we don’t have family around or babysitter. For now that’s our life until kids grow up and we can have some more alone time one day. You don’t need to celebrate it that day. I’m happy as long as he doesn’t forget to bring me flowers or something lol and I always cook a nice dinner for him late at night. But definitely talk to him about how you are feeling and agree on maybe Saturday doing something nice !
Sounds like this is an issue bigger than Valentines Day. Have you expressed how you feel about how things have been with you guys the past couple of years? Can you celebrate Saturday instead?
@Brittany this. Sounds like an issue of priority, communication, and intimacy.
He's working towards getting a place together.. well spend all night together ❤️
We don't celebrate hallmark holidays, but ironically, my husband does have off tomorrow. He took off so we could finish getting ready to go house hunting out of state all next week.

I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day and it’s also my brothers birthday so I have always reserved the day in my mind as just his bday and nothing else.
Yes and no. It’s her typical day to work so we will just be celebrating this weekend. Most likely Sunday if she gets called in on Saturday which is one of her days off. It sucks but I know she loves to provide for us and I’m beyond thankful for that
Valentines being on a Friday night sounds like a nightmare. I'd rather celebrate next week when most other people aren't, so i don't mind him working.
Mine works away 6 days and back home for 2 days. He won’t be home until Monday 😂 I actually forgot it was Valentine’s Day altogether haha
My husband is working all day today also but it doesn't bother me. We are grown ups and we can always have a date another day. What I'm going to do instead is cook a special meal and dessert for him so we have dinner together after our son goes to bed and we'll kind of a Valentine's date
V day is only one day! Sounds like something deeper is going on for you guys. Hope you can find a way through it xxx
Couldn’t care less about Valentine’s Day to be honest. There are 364 other days in the year when we love each other
My partner will be over this evening and all weekend im fine with him working valentines day. Means i get to spend some time with my mum and children x
Not really fussed to be honest! My guy is a chef, so he’s always worked it, sometimes we do a really late dinner 🤷🏼♀️ but it’s just a commercialised holiday
Wish we could go out today instead of tomorrow due to the weather and stuff but I’m not mad or upset at him ! He needs to work.
He’s usually home with us in the morning until around 1pm or so and we have date night weekly like clock work we fine dine regularly … we do things that people do on Valentine’s Day consistently in our marriage so for me personally no we also communicate a lot all day everyday .. my husband has never liked going out on holidays when it’s crowded days like Valentine’s Day so it’s been like that from the beginning with us and we got married on Valentine’s Day but there are gifts etc and other ways to convey love that will suffice until people get out for date night
