I like to joke don't get me wrong but sometimes I feel like my boyfriend jokes to much. Maybe I'm just over reacting or thinking to much about it and if I am then how do I just joke back? He will say things like, if I don't answer my phone right away and I call him back he will say "what were you talking to your other boyfriend?" or he will see a Asian chick on tv and say, "if I move to chine can I do a china chick." I mean I know he is joking but man it gets old, what do I do? I just keep joking back or is he testing me to see if I say something sweet like "no, your my one and only" or do I joke and then say that. Or what can I say to get home to not do it so much. Not sure it I'm over reacting but trust me I like to joke but some of those jokes get old fast.What should I do?

Simply affirm with him how much you care about him and tell him about it. Either he will shift and step down from the joking or that is how he communicates and that either works for you or it does not. All guys can take direction simply some more than others and either way is ok. If it matters to you then it should matter to him or at least he support you in how you feel and adjust accordingly. If not then walk or learn not to let it bother you. Most all guys like girls of any nationality-it is how we are. If he makes comments about being with other chicks and it bothers you then say so. Next time is asks if it is your other boyfriend-Say yes it is and he is finally being paroled tomorrow after 3 years. See what he says then-lol.
Good luck and communication is the cornerstone of any HEALTHY relationship.
You are deserving of your wishes and to have your boundaries respected as you do others.

they aren't jokes he doesn't trust you and he is vailing the sirius question by calling it a "joke" you don't hear anyone laughing do you its not to make you laugh it's because he is insecure. Then you add in the china bit same thing he just wants to sleep with a asian chick. Tell him to stop it and if he doesn't break it off it will only get worse.

Actually, if it were me, and he asked me if I was talking to my other boyfriend, I'd say "No, I was blowing him on the toilet."

Now, that's not my kind of humor, but the point being made is "Shut up, your jokes are lame."

He'll either get the hint, or if he's not intelligent (Sorry) he'll laugh hysterically and get worse.

It's up to you if you want to push the envelope, but more often than not it works.

In case you don't want to do this, and I completely understand, Hercules advice is the respectful, courteous way of dealing with someone acting this way. Judging from how you wrote your post, this would suit you perfectly.

If you go along with the joke he thinks you enjoy it, so, he does it more.

Just politely ask him the next time he does it if he'd stop because it hurts your feelings.

If he can't handle doing that, then he isn't a very good boyfriend. I'm sure he means no harm though and thinks it makes you laugh.


At least I think.

This is just like saying |"oh in the beginning of our relationship he was all over me and he always says I am sexy and he is into me and then we'd have crazy sex all the time.we would kiss passionately .now its getting so old he keeps saying I am sexy. it's like I expect it from him already and it doesn't excite me anymore|"| If you like how he was before, you should stick to it. Would you rather him be Mr. Boring and can't joke around? You can't change a man. If that's how he is, let him be. Because if you tell him to stop doing it . girl trust me, you won't like ! Based on my own experience. You will start wondering why he ain't jokin around anymore.and you'll want him to

You're right. I was going through the same thing. Sometimes joking can go a little bit too far and it's annoying. I was asking my boyfriend something the other day and I was dead serious, but he's still laughing and everything, so I'm like "god, can you be serious for one second?" you mite not want to approach it like that because he kinda flew off the handle, but just tell him sometimes, because if you don't it can get extremely annoying and make you not want to be around your bf. :-(

Hercules is right. If you keep going along with it and laughing, he's going to think that you appreciate his sense of humour and he's going to keep it up.
If it keeps annoying you, just let him know! There's nothing wrong with telling a person that something they're doing is bothering you. Just don't be cruel about it.
