i think they do it because they are some what scared of themselves...and maybe they are testing the other one...(not on purpose) but testing them....to see if they are really ment for each other but in this case i feel you and your loved one are ment for each other....you may have your problems everyone does...maybe a little more  than most people but you are ment for each other. and you should love each other forever! you only have one lifetime we should all live it to the fullest! and im sure that the person who you love soo much loves you just the same even more....and is really sorry for what he did. he prolly knows that he cant fix it but wishes he could. i wish for you 2 to be happy and to have a WONDERFUL life together. you are ment for each other! \n\n♥

They feel the need to take someones else's happiness since they are jealous that they can never really achieve that same kind of happiness. \n\nUsually they don't understand/know how to really love someone/or know what love is.

Some guys do and they are complete jerks. Mature women understand when a man cannot afford a lavish gift for the holidays. I graduate on 12/10, Christmas is 12/25, my birthday is 1/26 and Valentine's Day is 2/14.  Thats a lot of freaking gifts in a short period! I have already explained to my boyfriend that I do not expect gifts for all those days and that him just being there is enough.

Yes.\n\nHolidays are days to celebrate special things and/or people.  But a valentine need not be a significant other.  It can be a child, a close friend or a family member who needs a smile. \n\nBeing single myself - I try to make it a special day for those that I care about - I will do something special with my son or for my elderly grandfather or my close friends, etc...  I don't let the day go to waste just because I don't have a significant other to dote upon.

February 14 is Valentine's Day. Although it is celebrated as a lovers' holiday today, with the giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop.\nFor eight hundred years prior to the establishment of Valentine's Day, the Romans had practiced a pagan celebration in mid-February commemorating young men's rite of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration featured a lottery in which young men would draw the names of teenage girls from a box. The girl assigned to each young man in that manner would be his companion during the remaining year.\nIn an effort to do away with the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year. Needless to say, many of the young Roman men were not too pleased with the rule changes.\nInstead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. \nClaudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young men that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. When he failed, he was stoned and beheaded.\nDuring the days that Valentine was imprisoned, he fell in love with the blind daughter of his jailer. His love for her, and his great faith, managed to miraculously heal her from her blindness before his death. Before he was taken to his death, he signed a farewell message to her, "From your Valentine." The phrase has been used on his day ever since.\nAlthough the lottery for women had been banned by the church, the mid-February holiday in commemoration of St. Valentine was still used by Roman men to seek the affection of women. It became a tradition for the men to give the ones they admired handwritten messages of affection, containing Valentine's name. \nThe first Valentine card grew out of this practice. The first true Valentine card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time.\nCupid, another symbol of the holiday, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards.

Love does bring people together for sure . For holidays does your family gettogether? Well thats love wanting to share things with those you love is natural . Love bonds us to oneanother makes us feel like we are apart of something special makes us whole .

because they are too afraid to face the demons that are crippling them from taking control of their own happiness.  Instead, they rely on others, including their husbands to make them happy.  It's cowardly.   People JUST DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN HAPPINESS.  look at the millions of questions on this site.  if that doesn't prove to you that people expect others to make them happy, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

I've always loved the time-frame that spans from right before Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.  You've got several holidays in there...special times when people stop & realize that Love is a *verb* & treat each other accordingly.  :)  But, thanks to my fiancee & his 5 little girls, CHRISTmastime has become more special than I ever thought possible!

I agree with you. People tend to believe that the things that drive them crazy about the other will change or try and make them change once they're in a relationship.  Once they realize it doesn't get any better they move on feeling defeated. If they would have listened to their mind instead of their heart it would have told them the outcome and saved them a lot of pain.

People tend to desire the physical side of love because it is innately in our system to want proof of love. Through sex and other actions stemmed from that emotion, people feel that they are loved and that, in order to commit such an act, the other person had desired to be with them somehow.\n\nNot everybody is affected by this. There are many couples that do appreciate the pure and chaste forms of love.

I don't think your crazy, You just know what you like and probably have difficulty expressing your desires to your partner. It is always easier for us to do things ourselves than to explain how to do it.

The number one reason I think is laziness - Let me explain\n\nIf person A feels loved with flowers, cards, weekend trips then person B needs to do those things to express their love for person A that way.\n\nIf person B feels loved with sex then person A needs to express their love for person B that way.\n\nIf person A gets sex and not flowers they will not feel loved.\n\nIf person B gets flowers and not sex they will not feel loved.\n\nJust because they are our spouses does not mean they feel loved the same way as us.  \n\nConvenience is doing it the way we want it.  Love is doing it the way they want it.

Valentine's day is the one time of year that everyone can be openly affectionate.\nPeople who have absolutely no significant other can get quite depressed when a day comes around that's solely revolved around love and affection.\nNatural reaction.

People do it all the time. Many times out of the conception of a child out of marriage. Or because they think they are in love but don't know the person. Or because they don't understand what real love is. I don't care if you believe in Christ or not the bible gives a REAL outline of love. Look at what it says and see if you are that way to your mate. If not (which we all fail in some areas) then strive everyday to be that kind of person.\n\nLove is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. \n\nLove never fails.\n\n1 Corinthians Chapter 13
