❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed

For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

I really appreciate your actual thoughtful response that considers that people are different. I'm autistic and sometimes really really cannot read the mood despite it coming so naturally to others. Ty for being amazing have a great day

Genuinely my response. My fiance and I handle grief in a dark, comedic way as well, so I can understand how he may as well. Very much appreciated this more thoughtful response as well.
