My husband has been suffering from vertigo for seven years that morphed into vestibular migraines about three years ago. They had tried almost everything to help him, but not only could they not find anything, but in the past three months they got to the point where his pain scale never dipped below 8 on the 1-10 scale. They finally decided to try one of the more extreme measures that required a 5-day inpatient stay at a hospital about half hour from our home. Day 5 was Valentine's Day, and we weren't sure if he was going to be able to come home after all.
Early in the day on Friday he asked me to be his Valentine -- I'm not sure where it came from, since we've been fairly low-key about Valentine's Day, but I happily accepted. Then, a few hours later, we found out he would be able to come home after all. I spent Valentine's Day picking him up from the hospital and bringing him home for a joyful reunion with our kitties, who had been missing him all week. Then he went to bed to catch up on the sleep he had not been getting in the hospital due to being awakened for poking and prodding every few hours. He got up a few hours later and his pain level was at a 1. SO, one of my best Valentine's days ever, if not the best.

My Valentines Day was okay, I found out that either these people aren't my friends, or they just forgot about me :( They gave the rest of their friends something. . . But it's okay, I have Myself, and that's all I need!. . . . . . . Even though I did do a lot of their workkkkkkk, and they told me that they'd pay me backkkkk, but its okay! :)

Husband got me flowers days earlier so I could enjoy them. We exchanged cards. We had tickets to an amazing candlelight concert for the evening. I got home from work, we looked at each other, and agreed neither one of us felt well enough to go back out (he was at the doctor the day before with a virus that's been going around). So we stayed home and were sick most of the weekend. We've been married almost 32 years, so not a big deal.

There's no such thing as "friendzone". He shot his shot, you weren't interested, end of story.

It sucked, as always.
Only once did I ever have a GF during Valentines, and she left me on that day to go out with another guy (who did just f**k her then ghost her).
I never even got the courtesy of a break-up, she just left and said "It would be rude to cancel plans with someone once you've made them".
But, she was hiding a d**g habit I didn't know about till later so maybe I dodged a bullet there.

My wife had a campus visit for a professor job she's applied to. We drove 6hrs the night before to get there. I was snoring so she woke me up and asked me to leave. I ended up driving an hour to the ocean which was actually nice even though it was 4 a.m.
We got to have breakfast together then she was gone all day for the interview/visit. At around 8pm she got back to the hotel. Then, we went for dessert at this cute little French bistro before going back to the hotel and crashing because we were both exhausted.
I also hiked a bunch during the day and got some great wildlife photos so that was alright. It's a cool location (Williamsburg VA) so I hope she gets the job. It seems like it would be a fun place to live.

Unbelievably great! I dedicated the song "If The Stars Were Mine" by Melody Gardot to my wife of 25+ years. I got her gifts based on the lyrics of the song, including a jar full of hand-folded origami stars, a ceramic jar made my a lady in Aus filled with hand-punches brass stars, a baltic amber sterling silver sun pendant, a limited print MC Escher, an oil painting commissioned by her favorite local artist and a beautifully stained box to contain most of it. I spent the better part of 3 months preparing the gift and its presentation.
She cried for maybe half an hour as I played the song for her and revealed how each gift was a line from the lyrics.
She (legit hilariously) got me an oven mitt & a cupcake.
Best gift I have ever given, by a wide margin, and it warmed my heart to be able to give it to her and feel her reaction.

It's not my thing, but my partner enjoys it so it's their day. Asked them what they wanted to do, and the reply was that they wanted to put on a silly film to watch in the background while playing games with me next to me. So we sat next to each other, playing multiplayer Minecraft on our Steam Decks, with The Emperor's New Groove playing on my laptop. What they wanted to do, so what we did.

It was not only Valentine's Day, but also my boyfriend's birthday! We're both still in high school, and he had school that day, but I didn't (we don't see each other often thanks to our different schools, so this was the first time in a few weeks we got to meet up), so I spent all day decorating the kitchen with paper chains and flowers and he came over that evening to bake cupcakes and dance around to music together. However, the cupcake making did NOT go as planned, as we first poured the batter into the pan without putting the cupcake wrappers in first, and then had to spend twenty minutes sitting on the counter scraping all the cupcake batter BACK out. Then, still laughing at our own idiocy, we had all the batter back in the bowl and started washing out the muffin pan, but unthinkingly, he used dish soap, and then we ended up freaking out again because we were worried the pan would absorb the soap flavor and the cupcakes would taste like vanilla suds. But given that we couldn't exactly pour in some more soap to wash out what was already soap in the first place, we decided that oh well, we might as well at least try! So we put in the wrappers, then the batter, then put it in the oven. Then we got carried away dancing around the kitchen together and almost forgot to take the cupcakes out. But despite the aforementioned mishaps, everything turned out just fine and it was literally a very sweet Valentine's Day!

We don’t bother celebrating anymore. We got burgled at some point in the early house of Feb 14th whilst we were sleeping many years ago. Woke up to find the car , TV, games consoles, jewellery and phones gone. Polio came and dusted for prints and once they had gone I went to get myself a glass of wine to fine the buggers had also stolen my wine out the fridge!!

Huh? It doesn’t ring a bell. Is that some sort of Scandinavian pagan New Year’s Day? I just worked.

I got my daughters and my husband valentines day bags full of chocolate, a little personal gift for each, a card, and flowers. I bought myself a Stanley French Press for myself, which just happen to arrive on Valentine's Day. My husband mistook it as another gift for himself because it was green and I didn't have the heart to disappoint him cause he was so damn excited about it. Note to self: open my stuff when he's not home.
I wasn't expecting much for myself, and what I did get was a tiny box of chocolates(3 pieces), from my husband. That's it.. nothing else.
I'm trying not to feel slighted by all this, but I do.
