1."About a decade ago, I had booked a week of work off far in advance over Valentine's Day week, which happened to include my first anniversary with my boyfriend. He was a student and I was working, so I had planned to pay for this really awesome ski trip to another city a few hours away. As the time got closer, we were both getting excited about the trip. That is, until his guy friends invited him on a guys trip to Florida last minute. They weren't even his close friends! But he decided to go a day before our scheduled trip."

"Thankfully, I got all my money back from reservations and was able to get a few shifts at work that week. If it wasn't for having booked a week off and it being Valentine's Day and our first anniversary at the same time, I wouldn't have cared about just rescheduling the trip. We broke up shortly after. However, I should have seen it coming because this is a guy who also bailed on my stepsister's wedding a few months into our relationship. All these years later, I'm still mad at this ex for bailing!"                                                                                               

2."I used to do a Galentine's Day dinner every year with my bestie and another coworker because we were either single or their boyfriends were trash. The coworker got married, so she was out. My bestie had a boyfriend, so I told her to enjoy Valentine's Day with him."

"She insisted we keep our tradition and booked a fancy steak restaurant. The day of, the boyfriend wanted to do dinner with her. Again, I bowed out and told them to enjoy themselves. She said no, he wanted to spend dinner with both of us. The restaurant couldn't accommodate an extra person, so he said he wanted to make us a steak dinner. Again, kinda weird but they insisted, so I gave in. Two hours later, his brother also decided he wanted steak, so he decided to join us. Again, tried to bow out because now they could just do a couples date.

"They insisted that I still come. On the way to the brother's house, bestie casually mentioned his sister and her husband also wanted to join, so now I went from being a third wheel to a fifth and seventh wheel (and I had never met four of them). #GoodTimes... It ended up not being terrible, but the steak would definitely have been better at the restaurant, LOL."                                                                                                                                   3."Last year for Valentine's Day, my boyfriend at the time (ex now) got me some candy in a bag and nothing else as a gift. He even told me, 'Sorry I ate some of the candy,' then had the audacity to ask me if he could have the rest of my candy."
