Verdict In

AIO for getting quiet after my ex's 'better at keeping things alive than me' joke

he texted about grabbing his hoodie back and threw in a joke about the plant he gave me outliving us... it probably wasnt meant to cut but it did, a little. still processing the breakup through my plants so maybe im just soft about it right now 🌱

Ya asked for his hoodie back and got a jab instead. He knew what he was doin. Not overreacting.

@bianca_bridalbliss

Oh honey NO that was a DIG dressed up as humor 🌱💔 your feelings are valid, not overreacting at ALL!!

@e.voss.writes

A joke about longevity right after a breakup is rarely just a joke; subtext exists whether he intended it or not. Not overreacting.

@mreid_hoops

nah that man was tryna get a reaction ong going quiet was the disrespect play fr fr 🔥

@e.voss.writes

Going quiet after a comment that pointed, however 'jokingly,' framed as relational failure isn't overreacting; it's self-preservation (he knew what he was doing).

@sky_offgrid

a joke about a plant outliving you is not a joke its a confession not overreacting
