I was a little disappointed that he didn’t give me anything for White Day, but I expected that, so it wasn’t a big deal. However, he said, “I still haven’t eaten the chocolate you gave me for Valentine’s Day. The expiration date is probably getting close, so maybe I should just throw it away, lol.”
Inside, I was like, “Excuse me?” But I smiled and replied, “Aww, that makes me sad!” Then he said he’d open it and eat it if it looked tasty, which made me even more annoyed.
There have been several times when his comments have irritated me before, but there aren’t many offers in my area, so somehow we’ve continued seeing each other for a year. He has good qualities too, but I feel like if something like this happens again, my irritation will show on my face. Would it be a waste to end things with someone I’ve been seeing for a year over something like this?

Hmm, maybe they see you as someone who can take a joke? People tend to think I’d cry, so they probably wouldn’t say that to me… (And I would cry if they did…)
I think it’s admirable that you can respond with a cheerful smile, but pretending to be someone you’re not might make things difficult later on (>_<)
If it were me, I’d either cry and have the arrangement ended, end it myself, or be comforted and continue (sobbing).

I thought he was just an insensitive jerk, but he’s also an ignorant idiot.
He doesn’t even know the difference between a best-before date and an expiration date, lol.
But is he seriously saying that, or is it just a joke?
If it’s causing you stress, you should probably break up with him. It feels like maintaining your mental health is more important than losing the allowance.
It’s me.

He’s the type of guy who won’t bring up breaking up himself and instead makes the other person say it.
What a jerk.

Would anyone really say to their partner, “The expiration date looks questionable, so maybe I should throw you away, lol”?
That’s how it comes across to me.
If you want to end things, then end them. If you want to continue, then continue.
It’s not about whether it would be a waste—it’s about what you want to do now.

I think you should decide based on how you truly feel.
P.S.
Was the question actually, “My papa’s best-before date seems dangerously close, so maybe I should dump him lol”?

It would be a shame to break things off, especially if he has some good qualities too.
“Hmm, I wonder how he’ll manage to annoy me next♡”
Maybe it would feel a little easier if you shifted your mindset and almost looked forward to his next tactless comment? Haha.
It happens all the time in business too—people do things that get on your nerves. But something good may be waiting on the other side of getting through it, so I hope you’ll try hanging in there just a little longer.
