Today, as part of a charity project called Operation Valentine, I worked with 150 other volunteers to make care packages and Valentine's Day cards to send to the troops in Afghanistan, thanking them for their courage. My boyfriend called the cards "cheating" and now refuses to see me. FML

Did you explain to him what they were though? If he still thinks that, then your boyfriend's a moron.

You are giving them your return address, right? This is a great opportunity to look for your douchebag boyfriend's replacement ;)

then u deserve better. having been in combat, the most pressious thing i had was a letter written by a lady who said she thanked me for what i was going through. it gave me hope. it kept me alive i belive. so if he can not understand that you are trying to help the people that give you the rite's that u get every day, then you are better off without them. it was people like you that helped to keep me alive and bring me home to have a little girl of my own. and i greatfully thank you.

I can understand why he's upset, though. Care packages are okay. Valentine cards are something else, though - aren't they supposed to be sent to person you really like?

Valentines can be expressions of romantic love, or simply of warmth and affection. In this context? Does he really think that his girlfriend and all the other volunteers are expressing romantic love to thousands of strangers?

86, IMO, valentine sent to random stranger would mean that feelings towards people sender is supposed to really like aren't that different from feelings towards strangers - i.e. sender don't care about anybody. I'd be upset if my girlfriend sent valentine to me and then sent few hundreds to random people. It would imply she doesn't really feel any different about me compared to them. Yes, that's silly, irrational, but feelings aren't rational, and that's how I would feel. You can't feel affection towards somebody you never met or seen or heard of, so those valentines are a lie. If you care about your troops (that are stationed on another side of globe for no good reason), you could send them gifts on any random day (there would be no ambiguous meanings attached). Or send gifts to individual soldiers on their birthdays or something.

Valentines can also be used to say thank you. It just depends on what is written in them. I remember handing out valentines to everyone in my elementary class. Does that mean I felt romantic feelings towards everyone in my class? No, it didn't. Also people give valentines to their friends. Valentines can be used for many things, it just depends on what is written.

Sounds like your boyfriend was just looking for an excuse to be upset with you.
