“Last year, my partner at the time surprised me and said they were getting me tickets to see one of my favorite artists play a few days after Valentine’s as my gift. The week before the concert, they told me they didn’t have enough in their account for the tickets but would the day after the concert and asked if they could Venmo me for the tickets the day after. I ended up dropping $250 on tickets for the both of us, and they never paid me back.”
“On top of it, I had to work Valentine’s Day, and we had been planning on going to dinner, so I told them that planning would be up to them as I knew I had to work. They picked me up from work and asked me what I wanted to do, so we scrambled to find a restaurant after calling and driving to multiple places; we ended up getting takeout and sitting on opposite sides of their room while watching TV, which is what we did basically every other night. The cherry on top is that they chose to get takeout from a restaurant I hate and ignored me for most of the night. Worst Valentine’s ever.”
