ok so my girlfreind loves platypusses. like, LOVES them. she got a plushy named beaky, watches all these weerd lil videos of them swimmin and doin the tail slappy thing, sends me memes and pics all the time. its cute af.

so i made up a joke word — pladaphile. like someone who’s rly into platypusses. i thoutht it was funny n kinda clever?? one day i called her that, like “you’re such a pladaphile” just messin around

she got real mad. she was like “stop callin me a pedofile??” and i was like what?? no its about platypusses not kids or nothin. just a dumb made up word. but she dint care. said it was gross and weerd and said i was messed up and then later on broke up with me broke up w me

i didnt mean no harm at all. just tryna be silly. now im sittin here feelin dumb and thinkin maybe i was in the wrong

AITA??

tldr
called my girlfreind a pladaphile bc she’s into platypusses. she thought i called her a pedo n broke up with me. it was just a dumb joke

sorry for gramma and spellin, i have dyslexia and dumb other shit. (21m) talking to (22f)
