Expectation is the root of all heartache. Why do people get so caught up in "Valentine's Day"? If you love your partner, then show them that you love them every day. Do little things that express your gratitude and love for your partner because it makes them happy (and because it makes you happy to do something for them & see them happy). One shouldn't be expected to be more romantic or do special things just because of one ridiculous Hallmark Holiday; they should do it because they want to, and because they know it would make their partner feel good.
