Stop being a doormat. Stand strong and kick him to the curb. Wow! that is the lowest of the low.
he didn't give you a gift cause he thinks you will always be there. you're not going anywhere.
and it's true you are putting up with his cheating ways.
He says he wants the marriage to work, but his actions doesn't prove it.
Make him prove it to you. He's not going to give you a valentine gift until he respects you...and what he did is the ultimate disrespect. best of luck.

Hi. I would spoil the lying fun. I would not cause a fuss but i would ensure that she knew he bought me fab roses a week end away etc. All men and affairs are fairy tale land not real life,she hears what he says and guess what,you have no time for him etc.Make it sporting and win!!!!!

With all due respect....Why are you still with him??I know you are still married,,But he has cheated on you and you are more bovered on the fact that he has bought his ''lover'' a valentines gift than you!!Seriouslly,,You need to speak to him and find out everything that has gone on,,If you are willing to accept what he has done and work it out (which mariages that have a rough patch in take time to rebuild) go for it,,But make sure he knows that you are not a pushover and are not a raggdoll!!Well hope you figure things out!! :] xXx

You REALLY have to ask?
Okay, some guys forget valentines or think it is a big scam and refuse to take part in it. Fine so be it. BUT he didn't forget or think it is a scam when it came to his mistress. Just didn't bother to buy one for you.
And he wants this marriage to work? HOW exactly?

I'd hit the roof, hand him a packed suitcase, escort him to the door and tell him which hotel has the reservation. Then I'd make an appointment with the marriage counselor, tell him when it is and see what he does then.
I'd probably also pop around to my GYN and make sure he hadn't brought home any unpleasant viruses or bacteria and shared them with me.
Oh, and I would have a talk with a solicitor in the event that the marriage cannot be salvaged. It would be helpful to have a plan to ensure financial stability following such a split.
In other words, I would PLAN PLAN PLAN and listen to what he has to say to the marriage counselor, but verify his intent by watching his ACTIONS.
Don't get so emotional you can't think straight. Harness your anger, figure out what went wrong that he stepped outside the marriage, and organize the future for the best possible outcome for you.
Good luck.

To be honest it hardly matters about the Valentine’s present. I think it’s more important to worry about the fact that he cheated. You need to ask yourself a few questions: Can you truely forgive him? Will you every trust him again? Would you rather be with someone new who hasn’t betrayed you in this way?

He looks like he is experiencing mid life crisis. Henceforth, he needs attention to boost his ego. Buying gift for lover not wife is unforgivable. However, if he is willing to work on his marriage and you think he is worth keeping, give it a chance. Go for marriage counselling for a start. When all is done and there's no improvement on sight, then see a lawyer. You deserve better.

reader, anonymous, writes (19 February 2009): has the affair ended?i think you deserve better, if you truly love him and are willing to forgive him make him work for it. dont give in.but to be honest i think it sounds as if he is only sorry he got caught, the affair had to mean something to him for him to buy his lover a gift and not you wife. the one thing i hate is cheaters, and i personally would leave him. but if you can forgive and trust him again then i suggest you both sit down and you explain how he hurt you, explain about the V gift. maybe he feels the spark is missing between you two, so how about you both together try and find it again. think back to when you both fell in love.good luck :)
