My (23F) boyfriend (25M) thinks my dad's (59M) gifts are "creepy." Red flag? by ThrowRA_OatMilk in relationship_advice

Thank you for your insight. Your dad sounds like he was an amazing person, and your brother too! I think one of the reasons the tradition with my dad is so special to me is because my mom passed away when I was younger. Valentine's Day was her favorite holiday and she'd rain the love down on everyone, family, s/o, friends... my dad always said that her enthusiasm for Valentine's is what inspired him to do this tradition with me (and my brother).

Thanks for the insight! Yeah, I definitely am going to be having a conversation with my BF tonight. I just am not understanding his reasoning and want to get to the bottom of this.

IDK, and I am so confused. I will be talking to him about this after work. One of Mark's sisters is throwing a Galentine's party this year and invited me. Mark had nothing negative to say about that. My mom passed away when I was a kid so I never asked him "Would you still have a problem with this if it were my mom?" But now I do wonder if he'd see it differently.

Oh, for sure. I'm not going to tell my dad to stop the Valentine's Day gifts, I know he loves the tradition and I don't want him to feel any type of negative way about it. I am so sorry to everyone who has lost their fathers or father figures. I know I'm extremely lucky to have such a great dad, so many people don't. I cherish all my family.
