Man Faces Dragging Online As He Shares Why He Doesn't Celebrate Valentine And Other "Fake Holidays"

Valentine's Day is a popular occasion for showing love and affection, but not everyone can relate to it. Some people decide not to participate in the celebrations connected to this romantic event for a variety of reasons.

Gaining an understanding of the reasons why some people choose not to celebrate Valentine's Day can help one better understand the various viewpoints on relationships, love, and social conventions. The choice to skip Valentine's Day can result from a variety of causes that influence people's attitudes towards this yearly celebration.

This includes personal convictions, cultural influences, consumerism, and self-love. On one hand, some people don't celebrate Valentine's Day due to religious convictions that can be at odds with the origins or customs of the occasion.

On the other hand, others just choose not to participate in Valentine's Day festivities due to personal preferences. Instead of following social norms on a set day, they may believe that love should be expressed and honoured in ways that are significant and genuine to their relationship.

This is the OP's school of thought, and he held onto it so dearly that he had to share his views with the Reddit community. Not just Valentine, the OP has always seen National Insert literally anything day and even mother’s day as a excuse for people to spend money on the same day.

The OP is not the AH as long as he does this...

The OP talked about mother's day in one of the comments

I understand your point about Mother’s Day but I also show my mother love on other days to make up for not getting her anything on Mother’s Day. We go to dinner and all the jazz but I don’t want to get her something because tradition says I should. I shower my mother love and appreciate everyday I can. Mother’s Day just doesn’t jam with me. I do hope I find someone with similar ideals tho.

The issue, in most Redditors' opinion, is that the people OP loves may be hurt by his principles. While some generally agreed with OP's stance, it doesn't change the fact that he would be an AH if he refused to do what he was supposed to, even when it affected someone else.

Which mom won't be devastated if her son chooses to skip Mother's Day because he thinks he has shown her enough love throughout the year? Well, the OP was declared the AH, and that's a wrap.
