I feel like I need to get him something to show I appreciate him
No. You need to start taking turns paying for dates, or splitting the check.
Just get him something that acknowledges it's Valentines Day if you're with him on that day. Like a small box of candy he likes. Nothing of a personal nature.
So you both work full time, yet he has you doing all the housework, all of the childcare, expects you to be desperate to jump his bones every day despite being exhausted from doing all the housework and childcare, refuses to listen to you on the many occasions when you’ve tried to raise your concerns and is now all but telling you he’s thinking of cheating on you and when he does, he’ll try and pin the blame on you.
What exactly are you getting out of this marriage?
Her response is a little bit below lukewarm but we are still texting for the time being every few hours. Thanks for the advice.
There’s nothing to do, you repeated the same behaviors and she’s had enough and broke up with you. She realized you’re not going to change

It isn’t
So we agree, it isn't your story, great. Now why steal it?

lol, she definitely knows his name but doesn't set it up as a contact so she can be sneaky.
This is such simple advice but so helpful. Thank you for being kind.
