Valentines Gifts
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.

Dear valentiner,
For your first question, I think that you should accept the gift, and just tell him how you feel about how much he went over. Don't get mad at him, just let him know how you feel.
For your second question, It's fine if you don't spend as much, if he really loves you, he won't care about the gift, as long as he is with you on valentines day. Besides, its the thought that counts, right?

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
