Happy Valentine's Day anyway

By Brokenheartz - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, my boyfriend of 6 months told me he was not going to celebrate Valentine's Day because it was a "capitalistic consumerism holiday." He works in a bank and helps "capitalistic consumerism" 364 days a year. FML

364? Which one day gets left out? Also, I'm pretty sure banks are closed a lot more than 1 day a year.

And? Am I the only one who thinks it's disgusting that apparently you can't love someone without being expected to buy them $20 roses and whatnot. Gifts should be just what their name implies- something you get for free because someone else cares about you. Not something you whine about until you get because an arbitrary holiday says you deserve them. Seriously, has it ever occurred to you that if you have to whine at someone to get you a gift, or act romantic, or whatever, then they're probably just doing it to stop you bitching at them, and it's really not worth that much at all?

Welp... my birthday is on Valentine's Day, so... not too sure what to say here... I think it's a fairly fun holiday... Sure, its meaning has been butchered, but so has Christmas and pretty much any other holiday. Just have fun with it :3 if your boyfriend doesn't like it, he can treat you to something romantic another time. No big deal.

Then It would make sense. Think of it as a I don't want to bring work home with me. ( unless he really likes his job. Or if you think. He is cheap. If he is dump his ass or to wedding gonna suck

It is though. And he shouldn't need that to tell you he lobes you. If he did, he would just say it. Sorry man

Maybe she is counting his unbirthdays he has every year.

Is banking his passion? Or does he just do it to pay the bills? This may surprise you, but some people only do a job because it pays well, not because they like it.
