This probably isn't what you want to hear but I haven't spent a Valentines Day with FI in over 5 years. It happens. Every year I make my Mom's famous heart sugar cookies and give them to the single ladies in my life with a handmade valentine. I know its painful to be without your FI/SO but you have one someone special in your life you are just apart. Think about how sad it is for those who don't have someone special .....
just a thought... SHARE the love

My Blog: When things go wrong
So we celebrate our anniversary (in October) and will designate one other day of the year as "Romantic Day". You can pick a "Romantic Day" for when he gets back - then you don't have to share with anyone else! You'll be the only one to get flowers that day, you'll get deals on restaurants and hotels because it won't be as busy. Seriously, it's so much better!
and of course, share the love too .
okay okay, i'm cheered up now . thanks guys .
I haven't been with DH on a Valentine's Day in 4 years, or Christmas, or Thanksgiving, etc. He has always been in school or on deployment for the last 4 years. I always worked on Valentine's Day. Suprisingly, I didn't mind the couples who came in and were all lovey dovey. It usually reminded me that I have someone that feels that way about me no matter where he is and we don't need a holiday to celebrate it.
(Maybe I'll get more used to it in the future - I've only been through one deployment so far. I'm a big fan of the "nothing I can do so no use getting upset" idea, but stilll, missing somebody can't ever get that easy, can it? )
You'll always miss them. But if you spend the whole time thinking about how horrible it is without them there, then it never will get any better. As the time passes you just get more used to a schedule and a routine. I'm lucky that I get to email with my H back and forth for a few hours everyday. It definitely makes it seem like he's much closer than he actually is.
Don't get me wrong though, I still have some rough days. Thanksgiving was much harder on me than I expected, but then Christmas was easier. You can't control how you feel about it, it's just controlling how you react to your feelings.
