Enjoy your flowers I should have done that! I might stop and get some next time I'm in town!

Nothing on purpose like that but I never got Valentine's presents. My birthday was mostly forgotten until I started reminding the kids when they were old enough to get it because they felt so bad to forget it one year.

In our 16 years together I really only got one gift that was special or meaningful, one that was given because I was considered and loved.

The thing is, I don't really care if I get gifts. They talk about the different ways people feel loved - gifts is not one of mine. However, in looking back, it was a clue about his way of handling our relationship (self focused - didn't consider me). Gifts are still not important to me but in the future I will certainly look to see if I'm considered.
