The papa I just met gave me my Valentine’s return gift on the spot
This content is machine-translated.
I gave him some chocolate, and on the way home he stopped by the department store basement and told me to pick whatever I liked, so I chose some limited-edition Valentine’s chocolate lol
I wasn’t expecting anything in return for White Day, but having it settled right there made the whole thing feel so transactional that I lost interest.
I guess it was basically, “I’m not sure we’ll be able to meet next month, and returning the favor later would be a hassle, so I’ll just give you something now!”
It really hit me that he has a happy relationship with his family, while I’m just where he dumps his sexual desires.
I want to get out of this kind of life as soon as possible. I want to end this life of constantly degrading myself and wearing myself down. I want to die.

Hmm... I can’t agree that it’s enough to make you want to die, but I do believe that the more often people lend and repay things, the stronger the trust between them becomes. I don’t like settling up every single time. So I can understand how you feel, at least to some extent.
It depends on what kind of ball you threw, but this is definitely the kind of ball I wouldn’t want returned right away.

It didn’t make me feel like I wanted to die.
What?! He sounds like a great papa (a male supporter)! I’d be thrilled to have him let me choose a limited-edition chocolate!
Isn’t it lucky that you get to pick something you actually like? I prefer white chocolate, but once I got dark chocolate as a return gift the following month. I was a little disappointed. Wouldn’t it be better to choose for yourself instead?
It’s all about how you look at things! Why not try to think about it positively?
The chocolate thank-you and wanting to die probably aren’t related.
If everything has become too overwhelming, maybe it would be okay to take a little break.

Hmm…
Maybe he’s just an awkward papa.
He couldn’t pick out a tasteful White Day gift, and thought you’d be happier choosing something yourself. He was happy and wanted to return the favor right away, so I get the feeling he thought you’d be pleased if you bought something together.
If it were purely a transactional relationship, he probably wouldn’t have given you anything in return at all.
Rather than having a papa like that develop genuine romantic feelings for you, it seems safer and better to have a relationship where you can receive an allowance without any risk while he keeps things happy at home.
If you work as hard as you can while you’re still alive, you can probably find quite a few ways forward.

What surprised Joe most was that, as he kept reading, thinking it might turn into a heartwarming story, he suddenly came across “I want to die.” That caught Joe off guard.
From the questioner’s wording, Joe imagined a completely different story. Something like this:
She was so happy to receive the chocolate that she absolutely wanted to give some in return before the day was over, so she headed to Ginza. The basement of Mitsukoshi was insanely crowded despite the pandemic. But she really wanted to give her something that would make her happy. Joe has absolutely no sense when it comes to choosing chocolate, so the choice was entirely up to her. After that, he wanted to go over to Matsuya and buy her some lingerie from the sixth-floor lingerie department, too. Aubade should be having a sale, after all（笑）. No, no—today, he’d splurge on one of the new spring pieces. Since the store was closing soon, he was thinking, “Could you hurry up and choose?” But as he watched ○○-chan’s flushed profile while she picked out the chocolate, there was no way he could rush her. Ah, this is happiness, somehow… (To be continued.)
I don’t know what kind of relationship the questioner has with her papa (a male supporter), but at least from the wording, Joe could read the kind of fantasy described above into it. So please, at the very least, don’t die.

Classic older-guy behavior.
He may not have meant any harm and probably thought he was doing something nice.
They assume that if something makes them happy, other people will definitely be happy if they do the same thing for them.
Guys like that really don’t get it. Oof.

She says again, “If you don’t give me anything, then what am I supposed to do…?”
Be grateful that he gave you something in return.
I honestly can’t understand why you’re so consumed by such extreme victim thinking.
Don’t go dying over something so trivial. Is your life really that meaningless?
Quit papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and get a regular job. Go back to your parents’ place and let them feed you something nutritious.
I’m not your mom, but this honestly makes me sad.

If you give something back and end up being resented, what’s the point?
The way they handled it wasn’t great, but they should’ve just accepted it honestly instead of thinking, “There’s no guarantee we’ll meet next month, and it’s such a hassle…”
You’re getting a little carried away with the victim mentality.

Don’t throw your life away over someone like that.
Even wasting time thinking about that old guy is pointless—so ending your life over him makes even less sense, doesn’t it?
