For my part, while I love my husband to pieces, it's nice to have an excuse to go out of my way to buy him a nice card and have a special dinner out. Finances can be so tight that we just don't do those things on a regular basis, so while I think V-D is WAY too commercialised, I don't mind the sentiment behind it, namely, taking time to actually do something nice for your sweetie instead of thinking about it and then being too busy to do it.
However, it is appallingly over-sentimentalised and over-commercialised, so I absolutely understand where you're coming from!
