      Jeez, girl is crying and having a hard time, someone makes a joke to cheer her up. You call that a dick move?

        I didnt think this needed to be said but making a joke at a bystanders expense, particularly a hurtful personal attack, is not ok.
        Sure jokes are give and take with some good natured ribbing but this strays more into carless, or potentially malicious territory.

            You cheer them up by telling them that at least they don’t have to deal with [insert bad present from an ex here] and she doesn’t have to buy any extra presents this year.

            If that doesn’t work, you base it off of their exes’ behavior: for example if they got sloppy drunk, you say that at least she doesn’t need to DD/babysit this year. If they were loud, you say that at least she’s not going to suffer permanent hearing damage.

    someone to call my own

    Odd choice of words, is this a common way to refer to a significant other?
