My husband did nothing for me for Valentine's Day, and our 10th wedding anniversary...?

Well first, did you get him anything ? Because that makes things different.

Have you been communicating your feelings about how you feel about your relationship with him?

Also just staying for your kids, though that is humility. But is it really the best thing for yourself?

Wow, you gals really think that you are somehow entitled to this stuff. And what did you do for him? Lady, you know what? Your little rant, typifies why so many men say women are delusional and feel entitled. You all have kids, a house. He works to pay for these things. By your own admission, money is tight. You and he live in and with, the gifts that come with every day life. Advise? Yes. Learn to be grateful for what you have and for what he does, and let this nonsense go.

And what did you do for him? Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday. There is no mandatory reason to buy overpriced flowers and poor quality chocolate just because it's the middle of February. And it's CERTAINLY not only up to men.

It sounds as though you have a lot of issues in your marriage. Not getting a Valentine gift is the least of them.

I feel for you. Yours is a sad situation. Do you have someone you can talk to? Your husband sounds like a lost cause. If you don't have a good man working along with you to keep the marriage strong, its going to be a long, uphill battle. Praying might help you cope. I'm sorry. At least you have 3 children who love you. It was kind of you to make him a card. You sound like a very loving, sweet person. He should've thanked you. I think your being deprived of real happiness by this man. Sooner or later you are going to have your fill of this sad state of affairs and possibly consider divorce or some change that will make things more hopeful for you. Good luck.

Screw Valentines Day, just be thankful that you have a man who is willing to go out and work for you and your children. Did you have sex with him that night to thank him for doing that?

I didn't get him anything, I made him something. He's extremely hard to shop for, and I'm not just saying that. He's not a very appreciative person. I made him a card with materials from our wedding invitations, sent him 2 e cards, and bought a small plaque for his desk that I write on (says I love you because... And I fill in with chalk). He didn't even say thanks. I tried up the card with red and gold ribbon and a fake Rose, decorated the kitchen table as well. I also did him a favor for something in his desk so he wouldn't have to the next day. Also I have been communicating my feeling with him. I've told him everything, so many times and in so many ways. He listens, then does nothing, says nothing.
