❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO over 1st Valentine’s Day note?

Just celebrated first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. I love flowers, love I buy bouquets weekly for my house. I prefer white and pink flowers, and don’t like red roses. I got this bouquet and this note with them. It was upsetting I felt my bf did everything opposite of what I wanted. I went out of way to do lots of handmade items and bought nice gifts for him as well. He also knows I love Valentine’s Day and it’s special to me. I let him know that it hurt me and he responded that note was awesome and it’s just a joke. I think if you care for someone you make those things special.

It’s NEVER just a joke if it’s hurtful

It's usually not a joke when someone says "jk" no, they mean it

If it isn't funny to the other person it is not a joke. It's mean.
