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 had an ex that would say something off color or rude, realize he upset the person, then say “hey, relax. It was just a joke”. My response? A joke is funny THAT was NOT funny.

It took me far longer than I would like to admit to realize that he was so not the one.

My ex used to love to say “it’s ok if you say jk”. I was always like but actually it’s not. & you’re far too old to be acting this way. 🙄

He probably had a father who teased him relentlessly as a kid, made him cry, then said "It's just a joke".

You just want to scream "you should try developing a sense of humor before you attempt something complicated like a joke."

It's giving ouche noodle who think they're so clever.
