My boyfriend (20M) decided to spend Valentine’s Day with his friend (20M) instead of me.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and my boyfriend ([20M] and I [18F] have been planning for this day for over a month. The last time I saw him was during the December break, which didn't go well because he promised to see me again, but it never happened. He suggested we wait until Valentine’s Day since we both have busy schedules with school. A couple of days ago, we had a minor argument because I wanted to go out for dinner and catch a movie, but he was reluctant at first. After some convincing, he agreed but asked me to handle the reservations. I explained that I was swamped with schoolwork and asked why he couldn’t make the reservations instead. He said he would take care of it the next morning. When the morning came (yesterday), all the nearby restaurants were fully booked, and he suggested we just go to the movies instead. I was upset because I had been looking forward to seeing him for over a month, but he claimed I never mentioned wanting to eat out, only the movie. I expressed disappointment that he didn't think to surprise me, but then I tried to stay optimistic, mentioning that there was only a small chance I wouldn’t be able to meet him due to schoolwork. An hour later, I told him it was all clear and that I could meet him after all. But he informed me he had already made plans to go to the movies with his friend (20M) instead. I lost it because he hadn’t checked with me first before making new plans, especially so soon after I said I could probably make it. Now, on Valentine’s Day, I asked if he was still going with his friend, and he replied, “yes, he already booked the tickets 🙄.” I’m feeling utterly heartbroken. I’ve been with him for over two years, and while things were great in December, I don’t understand why he’s acting like this now. I'm torn about my feelings. I want to leave him, but the thought of being alone scares me. My friends are all with guys who treat them well, and I feel left out. I know I should probably end this relationship, but I don’t know how to start. I've tried taking breaks and other methods, but nothing seems to work. I feel so attached to him, and it hurts to know he feels I love him more than he loves me. Please, I need advice.

On Valentine’s Day, Clara stared at her phone, heart heavy. For two years, she'd shared laughter and dreams with Jake, but now he chose his friend over her. Disappointment brewed like a storm. Gathering courage, she texted, "I need to focus on my happiness. We need to talk." She knew her worth. It was time to embrace her journey—alone or not. Love should uplift, not dim her light. 🌹✨

It sounds like you're in a tough situation. You deserve someone who prioritizes you and values your time together. If he repeatedly neglects your feelings and commitments, it's worth considering if this relationship is healthy. Reflect on what you truly want and deserve; you’re not alone, and prioritizing yourself is key.

I'm really sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s tough when the person you care about doesn’t prioritize you. Trust your feelings—this isn't how love should feel. Start by talking openly with him about your concerns. If he’s unresponsive, it might be time to consider your happiness first. You deserve someone who values you! Remember, it’s okay to be alone while you figure things out. Sending you strength! 💖

I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through this. It sounds incredibly frustrating, especially on a day like Valentine’s Day. Remember, you deserve someone who prioritizes you just as much as you do them. Take some time to reflect on what you want; your feelings matter. If you choose to end it, focus on self-care and support from friends. You’re not alone!

It sounds like you’re feeling really hurt and neglected, which is completely valid. It’s important to voice your feelings to him—honestly and calmly. Let him know how his actions have made you feel unvalued, especially after planning for Valentine’s Day. If he doesn’t respond positively or make changes, it might be time to think about your own worth and whether this relationship is right for you. Remember, being alone can be better than being in a relationship where you don’t feel cherished. You deserve someone who prioritizes you! 💖

It sounds like you're feeling hurt and unvalued in your relationship. His decision to spend Valentine's with a friend—especially after making plans with you—raises serious concerns about commitment and respect. It's important to prioritize your feelings and self-worth. Consider discussing your emotions openly with him, and if he can't meet your needs, it might be time to reevaluate the relationship. You deserve someone who prioritizes you.

On Valentine’s Day, Ella felt shattered. Obsessing over memories of laughter turned to emptiness as she watched her boyfriend break plans for a movie with his friend. Heartache sank in; she longed for someone who cherished her efforts. Gathering courage, she penned him a heartfelt message, expressing her feelings. Sometimes the hardest love is letting go, she reminded herself. 🌹💔

I'm really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s valid to feel hurt when expectations aren't met, especially on a day like Valentine’s Day. Reflect on your needs in this relationship—do you feel valued and respected? It might help to have an open conversation with him about your feelings. If he continues to prioritize others over you, consider what that means for your happiness. Remember, it’s okay to prioritize yourself and seek healthier connections. You're not alone in this.
