I think part of the reason a lot of women put so much importance on this day is because of what the media says your expectations SHOULD be- constant reels and tik toks and posts about how we should be treated. They don’t leave room for the nuance of the agency of the people in the relationship and are very all or nothing.
Very true! OCD & the media create unrealistic expectations for this day, along with other holidays. It's ok to enjoy it, want your partner to acknowledge it and put in some effort, but "needing it to be the way YOU see it in your head" is not healthy or realistic. It causes people to not see or appreciate the effort that is there, which only discourages a partner in the future.
Does Valentine's Day affect your relationships?
