Expecting A Huge Valentines Day Gift, Ladies? Don’t If You’re Married…

It's not that your guy loves you any less, ladies, but if he already dropped several grand on a ring (hopefully, right?), don't cross your ring finger that the lavish gifts continue once you're married.

Married women reading this have already said "duh", but now a survey backs that up.

Don't get mad, but this all makes sense in a guy's mind. I mean, we spent oodles of cash "courting" you to get to the "gonna have you for the rest of our lives" stage. It's not exactly a "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" mentality, more like, "why buy spend money on premium hay when there's plenty out in the field." Ok, maybe euqating the women we love to cows was not the smartest comparison... I'm gonna pay that one, aren't i?

New couples get the lion's share Valentines gifts, with spending around $118. That increases once a couple gets engaged, to around $154. That's awesome 'til to you tie the knot and the average gift you'll get is about $136.

The weird part of this story is the mention of buying your boss a Valentines gift. Wait, buying the BOSS a gift??? Maybe I'm just outta the loop, but that sounds odd to me. I'm not dating my boss, why should he get something on a day dedicated to love (especially if you hate your boss). The average spending for the boss who doesn't reside at your house: $89.
