Today, after having my husband ask if I 'had any plans' for the weekend, and him mentioning that he got me something special, he played his PS4 for hours, ignored me, then finally took a break to hand me a tiny box of chocolates. I can't even be mad because he looked so proud. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, for Valentine’s Day, I got my boyfriend chocolates, a new Xbox game and planned lots of kinky sexy time. He ate the chocolate, orgasmed after three thrusts, had a 2-hour nap, then ignored me while playing the new game all afternoon. He didn’t get me anything, not even my own orgasm. FML
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML
Today, my husband returned from being away for two weeks. I eagerly got myself ready and sent him a risqué picture so he would come to bed. An hour later, he's on the couch playing Xbox with the message already seen. FML
Today, I got my husband his favorite candy and wine for Valentine's Day. He got mad and accused me of doing it to "bribe" him into bed, since he hasn't been wanting sex lately. When I asked how he could say something so cruel, he admitted that he's been cheating on me, and my gift made him feel guilty about it. FML
Today, after ordering a custom $200 Valentine's Day gift box for my husband, he gave it away to a female coworker upon delivery because Valentine's Day isn't for guys. I hope she like the new Xbox one controller and all the gift cards as well. FML
Today, when I got home from work I was pretty "in the mood" so I put on some cute undies and a tank top and went to get my boyfriends attention, he was so into his new computer game all I got was a half smile and a pat on the head. FML
Today, I woke up to my partner showering me with love and gifts. Confused, I asked, "What's the occasion?" It was our anniversary. Not only had I forgotten, but I'd also scheduled a gaming marathon with friends for the entire day. FML
Today, my boyfriend of almost two years proposed to me. Everything was perfect. The ring was beautiful. And seconds after I said yes, he went to play his new Xbox game. FML
Today, it is my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary. I bought him a Playstation 2. As soon as I gave it to him, he went straight to set it up without giving me anything. I said "What about me?" He walked over to me, gave me a kiss and said "I love it when you buy me things for no reason." FML
Today, I woke up and my husband said he got me a gift for our one year anniversary and that it was on the table. We laid around cuddling and when I finally got up I was expecting to walk out to beautiful bouquet of flowers. I got two packs of cigarettes. FML

At least he was romantic for a couple minutes not like some of us forever alone!

Yes treat him like a 13 year old, Jesus. How about talking through it and acting like an adult.

Give him a hug and tell him what you honestly think

Tell him to throw it on two player and school him up for a while, then throw out another idea. Sorry you were disappointed op.

Like some one above said, don't always leave it up to him. Take the initiative, make some plans that gets him away from the game. Plus communicate, let him know that you enjoy his time and ask that he spend an hour of his game time with you.

That was like my weekend. My husband and I didn't do anything specific for Valentine's Day (which is a stupid ass holiday anyway only because of the expectations) We actually got into an argument about something unrelated :P When we made up we just set up our consoles close by one another and played our own video games all weekend :D Romance is found in the every day things you do together. For example when either of us got a trophy/achievement or defeated a tough boss we congratulated one another and bumped fists lol

Except yours isn't really like op's at all. You did an activity with your SO and you paid attention to each other. Op was ignored and left to just watch him while he played.

But it wasn't Valentine's Day specific. We do this every weekend :P Actually as I write this we're getting ready to do the same thing again lol

If it were any other weekend OP's man would still be kind of a dick, but his dickishness is increased because of the expectations placed on the partner during such a "holiday". My point is that it doesn't matter what a couple does or when they do it. If a person is going to treat you like this every weekend it's not fair to expect that to change just because of some retail holiday. She doesn't deserve to be ignored, I'm sure, but would it really be such a big deal any other weekend?

This is just how I see it, don't have the facts but just to explain: it kinda seems to me she's just gotten used to being ignored. Especially with how she found it hard to be mad at him or how proud he was to just take a few moment to give her chocolates. Which means, yes it's sad, but I can understand why she was so sad when a holiday that's supposed to be about love only gets her that. And then to the fact he asked if she had anything planned for the /weekend/. It sounds like he'd planned something special. So while many seem like they don't celebrate it, he'd made it seem like they would.

As I've said: He's kind of a dick. But it's made worse only by the fact that it was on Valentine's Day weekend and there were expectations that he apparently didn't meet. My husband and I got into an argument and we didn't give each other presents. Yes we spent time together, but it wasn't as if he lavished me with romance. I could be mad, but I'm not (because A: We don't have any money to throw around, and B: We were long distance for three years, it's enough for me just to spend time with him). Only within the boundaries of one's expectations can things like this be considered an FML.

That's how cheating starts... OPs name is a dead giveaway

Well, he did remember, so there's that. Perhaps a gentle poke to him that you'd appreciate some more romance or "together" time?

My boyfriend brought bread on the day before valentines day and when i didn't get so excited, he was upset that i don't appreciate his valentines surprise

It seems like OP may have thought her husband already had plans for them.

It's something!

I'm wondering if OP usually games with her husband? I'm always asking mine to jump on Diablo with me, so a day doing that would be awesome, if the kid wasn't home.
