Am I being Silly?? **UPDATE**

DH and I are not able to spend any time on V-day together since he's working and he leaves before i get home, and I'm okay with that, since we went away last weekend for it.

But I know he forgot to get me a card, and will have no time at all tomorrow to get me one. And I'm a little sad. I'm such a card person. He could get me jewelry, and I like the damn card more. And for christmas I didn't get a wife card I know so silly, but I was so looking forward to getting a wife card, so I actually made it a point to mention it, but he woke up late today and now I won't even be getting a card I have no idea why its getting me so down, but it really is bothering me

******UPDATE*******
so DH got home at midnight last night and woke me me up with roses in hand
no card though, but he siad he will try today It totally made my day!!!!! thanks girls for the support!!

I don't think you're being silly! I always find a heartfelt card or letter from DH to be much more meaningful than any materialistic present. Hopefully he'll find a way to get you a card for tomorrow!

Awwwww.......you're not being silly at all!!! I'm totally the same way----I always appreciate the card more than the actual gift!!! Here are some hugs for you

Heather, you are not silly, since I have the wife card obsession, and since it is your first V-day, i feel you. But, it is not V-day just yet and you never know if someone has a surprise up their sleeve!

LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one with the wife card thing!! thanks girls, I just feel so stupied, so at least I'm not crazy!!

i am soooooooooooooooo the same way. the card means more to me than ANYTHING else he could get me!

dave forgot a birthday card for me one year and hasn't forgotten since....because i made it clear how hurt i was...

No you are not crazy!!!!

Like you said yesterday, the hiday is when you make it. I m sure he will get you a card, it just won't be tomorrow. Don't be sad

OMG! You sound like me! I know exactly how you feel!!!!!!
I tell DH all the time...just get me a card...i'll get some gorgeous piece of jewelry & he thinks i am nuts when i say...'oh...is there a card???'....i am wondering if i'll get one tomorrow too...DH doesn't really like V-day...he says it's made up by Hallmark to make more $$$...haha....i make him a card every year...oh & i got no Christmas card either

I don't think you're silly at all. The gift doesn't mean nearly as much as a card that says how he feels! And now that we're all married ladies, darn right I want a wife card! I've finally reached that stage and I want the card to go with it!

hey...you never know what he could have hidden up his sleeve!!!

but I'm with you on the cards....I think they're so meaningful

its okay. not silly. its just something that makes you feel special. taking the time to get a card and fill it out feels like a nice thoughtful gesture, and youd hope for that on vday.

well, maybe he will surprise you?

if not, at least since you mentioned it, he will know how you feel for next time.

sorry!

not silly at all!
I didnt get a wife card for Christmas either....and DH better have gotten me a wife card for Vday or Im gonna kick his arse

i dont think ur being silly...... now if u have a big fight over it - then yes...but i know how u feel. i'm SUUCH a card person. i always tell dh 'all i want is a nice card' blah blah blah - its honestly my favorite part of any gift even if it's the only gift i get. I also know DH hasn't gotten me a card yet, and probably wont....but i also know he's been majorly stressed & has had a ton on his mind lately due to our situation we're in so i'm not even gonna mention it to him..in all honesty i expected it to slip his mind...and he'll probably apologize once i give him his. ANYWAYS, u have a right to be a little bummed! but try not to let it ruin ur night...he also may be putting it off 'cause he knows u can't be together tonight....so maybe u'll get a belated one over the weekend??? i'd mention it maybe tomorrow or in a few days and just say that it bummed u out a little. If u make it less of a deal & more about how it really would've touched u if he had gotten u one(as opposed to being pissed off & starting an argument) it'll probably sink in more for him....stick to the pros if he HAD gotten u one as opposed to the negatives of him NOT getting u one...does that make sense??? again i'm sorry girlie - lots of hugs - dont be too upset about it! boys will be boys!

awww, dont be silly heather... we all love cards!!

im sure he gets a break at work... maybe he will go then?? im sure he has something planned!!

Not silly at all! I'm a big card person, too. In my family, you could forget the christmas gift, but if you forgot the mushy card....
I felt like I had to drop many hints through the years that I like thoughtful cards. He started off with no cards, then silly cards (once gave me one for a 5-year-old as a joke) and now I get GOOD cards.
He gave me mine this morning--it was really mushy!

I think maybe your DH will try to pick one up today. It's your first married V-day, I'm sure he'll do something. But if he doesn't, maybe you can once again (nicely) express your feelings about cards, so maybe he'll get it for the next holiday.

NOT silly! this happened to us one year-he forgot and I knew he did so I busied myself in the kitchen giving him time to go out that day-neevr did. i was soo upset and when he realized it, he made me a VDAy card-I still have it.

Sometimes they get busy and I know we have to be understanding, but you are allowed to get a little sad. I carefully chose his 'husband' card so I am hoping I get a Wife card.

for you!

My DH isn't a card person either. I still haven't gotten a wife card.

I'm hoping he'll have one tonight...but I'm not counting on it. . .

The funny thing is I'm constantly hinting that I love cards, and he just doesn't listen!

Nah ur not being silly at all. for all the holiday i dont care about the gifts that i get as much as i care about the card that he writes in.
I LOVE getting cards form DH. this year for V-Day we said no gifts at all... and i meant it when i said it but i stillw ant a card and i got him one oo. so im looking forward to my card
aybe he will surprise u and get ur one..u never know
