H has a very dry sense of humor. I have told him before that when he's joking, he sounds mean. The jokes seem to be typically negative and aimed at me in some way. I've come a long way understanding this, and joking back with him as much as I can. But last night, when I couldn't handle something he said, I told him and he immediately made another "joke" that was a rude comment in response to what I said. I told him I don't like it when his jokes are mean, and he said I was being "oversensitive." I said "OK, well it feels as though you're disregarding my feelings and just labeling it as oversensitive." He said "no, you're just being oversensitive." What constitutes oversensitive anyway? If my feelings are hurt and I tell you and you hurt them again immediately, then how am I being oversensitive? How can a person say they have any regard for my feelings when they act that way? I feel like instead of caring about my feelings, he's putting a label on me so that he can disregard it. So frustrating!
Put the internet to work for you.
