aita for being upset that i made my boyfriend an entire basket full of stuff and spent so much time money and effort into valentine’s day with the most heartfelt card and all he got me was flowers (that he didn’t even buy me his mom did), and no card:(

No that’s extremely valid, dump him honestly. You clearly put so much effort and he put in none

I mean I wouldn’t say dump him because I’m a firm believer in communication before problems; he should’ve got you your flowers not his mom, but did yall talk expectations for valentines? What he did isn’t cool tho, it doesn’t have to be a gift but maybe cooking or making an at home date or something? Anything would’ve been nice

Yeah, honestly dump him. Valentine’s Day isn’t truly that special if you’re with someone who treats every day like that. But if he didn’t even put any effort in 🙃

You might as well dump him. If he doesn’t get it, he never will. You’ll live a long disappointing life with him

Did you communicate to him that it made you upset? Also did he know Valentine’s Day was important to you? Some guys don’t see it as an important thing or forgot, I’d talk to him first instead of making any big decisions because anonymous people who don’t know you personally told you to dump him.

so first reaction is no you are not the asshole at all but before i can confirm you should in fact dump him- was there any discussion on expectation of gifts? like was it implied or discussed? cuz me and mine don’t normally do valentines so i wouldn’t be upset if i surprised him w something and he had nothing in return. now- even if there was no discussion- and he reacted to receiving your lovely gift with like very little energy and didn’t seem to think there was any kind of issue/imbalance
