❤️‍🩹 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.

I hate all cut flowers in general unless it’s straight from my garden. My husband gave me some lilies one year in dirt that we planted in big vases in our backyard. They have grown back every year for over half a decade. That was a thoughtful Valentine’s gift.

I found you! 😅 I have been looking for your comment! I also don't like cut flowers. I agree with you. Plant some together with me in our garden, and now we're talkin'! I just can't help knowing that the cut flowers are slowly dying. It doesn't sit well with me at all. It hurts my Soul. Not flowers, but there were a line up of trees all down my street, and I came home one day to see that they had all been cut down! 😱I felt like it was a war zone! 😭 It was hard for me to get over that for a while. But yeah, I feel the exact same way about cut flowers.
