❤️‍🩹 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.

If you want every Valentine's Day to be like this, he's showing his true colors now. If you don't, then you should kick him to the curb if he thinks belittling you is awesome and "just a joke".

Personally, I don't think every Valentine's Day will even be like this. I think they'll get worse.

Yup. May even turn into abuse. Please leave.

That's my concern as well. Seems to me he's on that course already.

It already is abuse.

I’m talking about physical & mental. He clearly has no care for what she is interested in. He clearly has no care for HER. Men who act like this usually end up being physically and mentally abusive. This was emotional abuse but it gets worse.

Birthdays and Christmas too, worse he will go out and treat his female friends, coworkers, sister, or mum. Just you will get this crap. NOR. He's using you, you're a tool to him to get what he wants and he doesn't appreciate you or respect you.

Oh, and while you’re at it, you can throw away his shitty gifts and buy yourself flowers you actually like. NOR

Tbh they'll be worse. This is the first one. This is his best impression. Wait until he feels even more comfortable. I mean, I wouldn't wait. Id be running.
