There are happily married people that don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s a Hallmark holiday—i.e. it was invented by a greeting card company. Its only meaning is the one you give it. Why give it the power to make you feel bad?

    Maried for 12 years. Don't recognize the existence of valentines day.

    It only has three purposes:

    • Corporations can pressure you into spending money you don't want to spend om stuff nobody wants to have.
    • Make lonely people feel sad and guilty about feeling lonely.
    • Justify the existence of "romcom" as a movie genre.
