"No card, no present - nothing. "
on this part, how bout getting out of the self pity and giving a card or present? get out of yourself, take a walk and ask a stranger how theyre doin?
when ya go tonight, id highly suggest workin on being in fit spitiual condition and havin an escape route.

If it helps you, not to brag or anything. I did get a card....wasn't what I'd imagined. It was for a Colon Cancer Check lol.
You know what? It's just another day, so much huppla over one day.
But I'm truly sorry you're feeling bad. Do something special for yourself.
ANGER robs you/us of so much joy. Don't let that hold you hostage.

No no, don't be sorry about that. If anything it made me laugh. I learned a long time ago with my hubs. At one time it bothered me, not anymore.
When you're able to, go and buy yourself something nice, be it flowers, a new kind of bubble bath, body wash, some candles, whatever makes you happy.
Cheer up

Free I have a funny story for you. True Story. I hope it cheers you up.
Years ago a friend of mine, would get upset because her hubby didn't bother getting her anything. She told him, she'd be happy with a card, that's all she wanted. To know he took the time to pick out the right one for her.
Sooooo, an occasion came along, and he handed her this beautiful card, one of the big one's. She was so happy about it. Looks it over, then says to him. "You took some time to pick this card out?" He says, "Yes." So she hands it back to him, and asks him, to please translate it for her, it was in French haha
To this day she laughs about it. I haven't the heart to ask if he's ever given her another card since.

Update: hubby did just come home with a card and some heart shaped donuts after me practically being in tears this morning. While I suspect he got this stuff more out of fear than sentiment, beggars can't be choosers and I'll take what I can get.
ETA: I also ordered myself a new Coach purse in the meantime...

Being let down bc your husband didn't even think to get you a card on Valentines Day is not a "sense of entitlement". It's called being human. Let me guess, you are single? Don't be a jerk.
