I find it very satisfying that although my wife and I are getting divorced, I can still kiss her good morning, wish her happy Valentine's day and tonight I'll probably tell her to have a good time on her date as I hug her goodbye!
Nothing about our relationship has ever really been conventional :-)
Flowers? Card? Good sentiment, but I'd try something from the heart: paintball, horseback ride, hot air balloon trip, have the in-laws watch the kids while you two disappear to the sleazy motel around the corner for a few hours, or just bake him/her a huge chocolate cake and eat it naked in front of the fireplace with a nice Zinfandel.
I am absolutely serious! Why do you find it depressing? I think it's a celebration of who we are that we're able to give each other what that person really wants.
Valentine's Day should be about love for those around you and she and I love each other. We just shouldn't be married and we're lucky to have figured that out before we began to hate each other.
