If you’re wife or girlfriend tells you that you don’t need to get them anything for Valentine’s Day....

We have an agreement six years running. Makes hella more financial sense to buy chocolate and dinners out on the 15th or 16th than the 14th. So that's what we do. Considering how we treat each other the rest of the year this day is hardly worth mentioning. Garbage holiday anyway.

Sounds like she’s letting one of her siblings (or yours I guess) have a romantic night out at least?

No mind games between the missus and I

Counterpoint: it's occasionally not a trap, and some women mean it when they say that they don't want anything.

It’s not even a holiday. It’s an excuse for ridiculously overpriced greeting card companies to make money. We’re going out to dinner on Friday night to avoid the rush.

Fair point, but make sure you know what kind you’ve got.

It’s a hint that you should buy her a cheap non-running Volvo 240 project car as a gift ? And ye s, I’m still a single if you were wondering about it...

Yes, get the chocolate at deep discount the days after.

So true.

Sometimes the gift of  silence is the best present you can give a mom.

The trick is to start your relationship the same week as Valentine’s Day and then you can combine them. #winning

Let me guess: you were born on Christmas Day.

Hell no! I still get both!

Chuckles > CalzoneGolem 02/13/2019 at 10:54

Oh absolutely. But I’m 8.5 years into my relationship, and when she says not to get her anything, I know her well enough to know that’s exactly what she means.

False, everything you give your SO is then considered a gift. Propose marriage on a holiday and things fall apart? They get to keep the ring because it was a gift.

I fucking hate this bullshit holiday, but my wife enjoys flowers on Valentines day so I suck it up and deal.

Seriously though, fuck H allmark.

Thankfully after 12 years of marriage I’ve come to realize that she genuinely doesn’t care for Valentines day.  We do a nice dinner with the family and I get her a little something but she is of the opinion that its a totally overblown “holiday”.  Which suits me fine.

glad it worked out for me, I gave her the ring Christmas eve.

I used to date a lawyer and that is the one thing she said to me that has always stuck in my mind. My wife and I have been a couple for almost 10 years now so so far so good on my end too.

Spend the allocated monies on car parts

Surely, nothing can go  wrong

Eh, it’s been 11 years.  Neither of us are going anywhere.

Since it’s too bloody cold and the 14th falls on a workday , I can’t have us get started on our cafe racer project together. We’ll probably go on a city adventure during the weekend. :)

We’re doing the candle-lit-dinner-at-the-Waffle-House that was mentioned on The Takeout. She likes the Waffle House, for whatever reason, and thought I was joking when I mentioned it. Took a while to push her into making the reservations.

Try the waffles. I hear they are pretty good.

Nah. We got Wally Waffle . Honestly, Waffle House pales in comparison to that. Wally Waffle won’t be open tomorrow evening though.
