Well, I'm a second year college student. I have had my share of embarrassing moments, troubling times and I'm not the girl who got all the guys--so at least you'll know my advice is sincere and relatable, not perfect in an imaginary world. Any questions whatsoever are welcome, I'll try my best to answer accordingly.

My Husband and I set a limit for how much we would spend on Valentines day for each other and he went over almost double. We cannot really afford to spend the original limit set already and I am really upset with him. I don't want to ruin our valentines day, but I am not happy.
two questions, 1.how should I react when he gives me his gift. 2.Is it okay that I don't spend what he spent and keep to the limit?
I would have rather he spent it on something we need and I have been telling him that. (link)

I think it is fine for you to stick to the limit. Spending a lot of money isn't necessarily going to make for a great Valentine's day...it's really the thought the counts (which I know sounds cheesy, but it is the truth).
About the gift...don't hurt his feelings. Once Valetine's has passed, tell him you loved the gift but that you don't need him to spend a lot of money to make you happy. Especially since there's other things you should be spending on. I guess you two could reach an agreement, and next time you have a special occasion you can't go over the limit. If he agrees, but doesn't do it that time...you are entitled to be upset.
Good luck and have a Happy Feb. 14th

Thanks for the advice. I will do my best to not be upset, but to be thankful. Men!
