Is this a dig?

So a couple of days ago was my birthday, first since ex and I split (very long-term relationship and he basically left me for secret affair partner). It's been tough and our communication is awful: he's done and said some pretty unkind things. He came to drop off the kids a few days after the birthday (not the first time I've seen him since) and brought a card and a little package wrapped in cloth and lovely ribbon. I opened the gift and it was a couple of bars of 'Tony ChocLonely' chocolate. Am I being ungenerous and paranoid to think he is basically having a laugh at my expense? It feels really disrespectful.

Sorry what is it you think he’s done wrong? You wanted a better gift? My ex never gets me anything for my birthday most don’t 🤷‍♀️

You genuinely think he spent £4-5 per bar of chocolate in the hopes you'd read the name of the chocolate and focus on half the word?!

That's like £15 in the hopes you'd notice!

I've been buying it for a couple of years. Only just realised it's chocolonely rather than chocoloney.

I wouldn't read that much into it. It's a gift, not expensive, not much thought, but a gesture.

Unless there's something else going on (besides the affair and departure)

I’ve missed why it’s disrespectful.

Get him a Cadbury bar with
Twat
On it.

I thought it was chocoloney as well I just had to google 🤦🏻

No it doesn't seem to be. It would be cheaper for him to just say it and less effort. Why would he think you were lonely, have you given him that impression?

I doubt it's that at all. I bought my ex a cactus once for his new home. Chose a cactus as he went away for ages with work regularly and a plant would die. He told me later that he thought I was saying he was spiky! Actually with the shape he could have thought I was calling him a dick too :). Just enjoy the chocolate.

Tastes like cooking chocolate, definitely 'I daw you coming chocolate"

Well unless you love the chocolate it's an odd gift no matter what it says.

Hope it was a small cactus!

Made me laugh Hot

Made me laugh too! - I really wish I could fine some chocolate which says 'twat' on the wrapper! 😅

Find

I bought my ex some chocolate that said 'cunt' on it. Wish I'd thought to include a bar in the parcel of his stuff I ended up having to post back to him.

@NewBootsAndRanty I'm very tempted - thanks!

What's disrespectful about it? Does he normally get you diamonds?

I'd have thought you were saying he's a prick.

You can get cock soup in the ethnic section of supermarkets?

I do think he is taking the piss, it's the sort of thing my ex would have done. He'd happily have spent £15 on chocolate to get a dig in. Don't rise to it, I'd go so far as to thank him and say it was lovely.
