Early on in our relationship, my husband told me he wasn’t romantic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% fine with practical gifts for gift giving occasions (although the portable tire inflater for Christmas was maybe just a little unwhelming). While he has given me very sweet cards and a very romantic pendant for our first Christmas, I’ve learned not to get my hopes up for Valentine’s Day and am happy with what I’m sure are his last-minute purchases of a card and box of chocolate. Because, at the end of the day, while the things may be sweet, knowing he loves me is much, much sweeter.
