Should I give my ex a Valentine’s Day gift even though we just broke up a few days ago? We broke up because I cheated on them when I was blacked-out drunk, but we are still working on our relationship

It's up to you whether you want to give the gift to your ex or not. But you said that you both are still working on the relationship and that you cheated on them when you was drunk. So, giving a valentine's day gift is fine if you both are trying to make the relationship work : 3

I can understand your dilemma here. You're torn because you don't feel that you should give them the gift as you're no longer together yet you attribute the ending of the relationship to your wrongdoings when drunk. It looks like there's a mutual desire to work on things so the gift could show how much you care but perhaps push things in a rushed direction. Either way, I think it shows care and consideration which anybody would be lucky to receive. You know your partner better than me but I think it's lovely that you're thinking so hard on this.

I am sorry to hear you are having relationship hardships, and not knowing what to do when things are rough. However, I don't think I can provide good advice because you know your relationship the best! I am hear to listen to you as someone you can chat with. Sometimes just talking through a situation, especially one like this, can help you reflect and really consider all of your options, so you can make the best one for you and your relationship. I know that just chatting and getting all of my fears and frustrations has helped me, and hope it can help you!
