What would you do if someone you loved said sarcastic things about you that hurt your feelings?

Would you call them on it, or would you try to laugh it off?

In today’s story, a woman finds herself in this exact situation, and she confronted her boyfriend about his comments.

They still don’t see eye to eye about the situation.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for standing up for myself when partner keeps making mean comments and calling them “jokes”?

My partner constantly makes sarcastic comments to me about my looks, job, behaviors etc.

When I get upset and say it’s not funny, he gets angry because I “can’t take a joke” or I’m acting crazy.

She thinks he takes the jokes too far.

I think he really is teasing, but sometimes it goes too far and doesn’t feel like fun light hearted teasing anymore.

It feels like an attack and insult.

AITA for standing up for myself or am I overreacting?

It’s not a joke if it hurts someone’s feelings.

It sounds like they either don’t have the same sense of humor or the boyfriend really is being insensitive with his “jokes.”

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

The boyfriend is the problem.
