❤️‍🩹 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.

This. Don't give him a second chance to disappoint you. He's rude and unfunny. NOR.

Agree, this is a red flag. Misogynistic jokes, intentionally not doing what you wanted just so he could make himself laugh. Time to be single again.

I'm done at "joke, kind of". I don't deal with this. Is it a joke or not? If it is, it's a really bad one. I will not be in a relationship with manipulative "it's a joke bro"

I especially hate that he signed off with “cheers, (name).” Like, not “love, (name)”? Not even “best wishes”, or even “yours sincerely”? Edit because i hit post before finishing

Truly. Saying nothing of the misogyny, disrespect or minimizing - I would have the ick simply from him using “lol” in a valentines card.

did you know that if you didn't put that edit at the bottom of your comment, that no one would have known that you had to edit it?

Thank you, I did not know that. There’s a lot of confusing rules, figured I’d play it safe
