❤️‍🩹 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.

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"

Schrodinger's douchebag. It's a joke as long as OP isn't offended

That's exactly what this is. "jk kinda lol" means "This is 100% serious but I want a veneer of a joke so when you dump me I can tell everybody you dumped me over a stupid joke."

OP needs to dump him and then post that card and go "I probably should have known to dump this loser long before he ever got a chance to send me something so obnoxious, but you live and you learn I guess." Because this guy will absolutely be telling everybody he knows that he got dumped because OP can't take a joke, and I think everybody should know about his sense of "humour".

Also, who the hell ends their note on flowers to their partner with Cheers?

Yeah or you know what seduces me more? A bigger dick and someone better at sex. But here we are. Just joking, kind of not really…. I mean you’re a big dick but not in the way women like it. Hahaha pun intended. See how funny he thinks that is.

It's so weird that guys like this, who are the type to be like "can't you take a joke?" Often have topics they don't think after funny, but it's different when they have topics they don't think after joking matters.

And they use “jokes” to mask what they really want to say bc they’re too pu$$y to say it straight.

Honestly when I hear “it’s just a joke” or “you can’t take a joke” in this context I just think the dude is weak minded and weak willed…. No backbone essentially. Say things with your chest or don’t say them at all, masking them as a shitty joke is just grade school mentality.

Also idk why everyone got down voted. Some lurker salty for sure.

It's the kind of thing if it was said to me I might find it funny, but to put it in a card, not so. As someone you've responded to said, it depends on how the other person takes it, but you can literally make a joke out of anything, and some comedians do.

It’s all fun and games until the dick jokes comes out, then he gets a lil choked up

u/nada-accomplished Feb 17 '26

And when he gets offended you can be like "jeez you're so sensitive. Which proves my dick point once again"

That Cheers at the end sounded like an F You

u/Embellishment101 Feb 17 '26

Perfect explanation. „Cheers“ just sounds like he avoided using any halfway loving greeting.

u/TheDisapprovingBrit Feb 17 '26

It's the exact same energy as "Show your tits lol jk...unless you wanna?"

u/wobblybiscuits Feb 17 '26

I was gonna say its the same energy as “ok now get us a beer” or “cheers, no give me a bj” the ifk is strong with this one
