I’m genuinely upset with what boyfriend did and it’s something very small

So, I’m not much of a green thumb person but I bought a house (my childhood home) two years ago. When I bought the house I planted a bush that had been there when I was a kid that had long since died.

It’s next to the outside of my porch and has been happily growing the last 2 years.

About 30 mins ago I see him outside with a hammer ripping branches off a tree growing next to it I’ve been complaining about because it’s growing through my porch and he wanted to get rid of it.

Well he was throwing the branches off the porch and I kinda joked that he’s throwing them on my favorite bush and I walked around the porch to see my poor bush split down the middle and he just says “sorry” and I burst into tears

I’m a very sentimental person.

He explained he thought I wanted that gone too, so it’s not like he was being malicious, but I’m so upset.

I thought maybe he’d offer to get me a replacement or something (that wouldn’t help but it would’ve been appreciated) but all I’ve gotten is the occasional “sorry” and I can’t stop crying.

I know it’s such a little thing and I shouldn’t be upset over a two year old bush but I really really am.

I understand he didn’t realize and I’m not blaming him, he really meant well and I appreciate it but it meant so much to me and he wasn’t very comforting when he realized how much it did mean.
