I have to disagree with you, Shaden. Valentine's Day is, like any other day, what you make it out to be. I love the idea of a day which celebrates love and the act of loving. I had fun sending my boyfriend a balloon at work and choosing funny limericks to include in the card.
For the original poster: It seems to me that communication problems could very well just be a symptom of your precarious situation, and that you two need to take better care of communicating clearly your expectations of each other. You might also consider reading Steve's recent post on Understanding Human Relationships.
It seems to me that what happened has to do more with your girlfriend wanting to feel special, loved and appreciated in general that just on one day of the year.
Good luck to both of you.
