<human>: I've been with my wife for nine years and married for the last three. We've done low key Valentine's Day stuff for a long time, like dinner and buy little nik-nak stuff for each other for fun. Both our birthdays are a few weeks after, so we've never spent a bunch of money of Valentine's gifts. Not deviating from that, this year I just took some time and drew a few cards to give to her throughout the day. Some were funny ideas I found online and others were sentimental. I also stamped our two dog's paws on a card with a poem I made up on the front. I claimed they made the card for her. 

Anyway, I did this all for fun because I like making calligraphy art and didn't expect anything in return. However, after giving her all the cards, at the end of the day, I'm feeling a little empty after not seeing the response from her I was hoping for. First, she didnt buy me anything, which isn't what's getting to me, but its that she didnt try to return the love by giving me any extra attention or treating the holiday like it was anything but another day of the week. Before we went to bed, she did ask me for a special foot rub because "it is v-day" and I hinted she should return the favor and we could have some fun. She promised me a surprise after the foot rub, but after I was done, I climbed in bed, she complained about her job for a bit, rolled over, and went to sleep.  I kind of laid there thinking I just wasted my time.

I know today is meant for the ladies but I was hoping for the satisfaction of her clinging on to me and tossing me some compliment or extra love. I guess my question is am I being selfish or too whiny? Is it just about her today and I should just deal with it?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
