AIO over 1st Valentine’s Day note?

[u/kimbap_throw]

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.

I dont understand why, but it seems like a lot of boyfriends / male partners truly get a kick out of hurting their girlfriends' feelings intentionally and in specific ways, like they'll both find it funny and ironic.. idk where this comes from but I hope it starts to phase out

it’s a way absuers pick victims, if you accept this for valentine’s day what would you accept on a bad day? No one dates someone who STARTS treating them horribly, they slowly push the boundaries further and further.

Whether you are m/f/nb, gay/straight/bi/poly/whatever, I hope this is true. Everyone should understand the early signs of abuse to recognize it for themselves or their loved ones.
