Why is my boyfriend being so insensitive?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend thinks its funny to tease me and joke with me. I have told him I don't really like it and would rather if he would say nice things to me or be affectionate. But that hasn't happened yet. Like tonight he told me dinner was made wrong(suppose to be funny), shrugged me off of him with I tried to cuddle, pointed out that I had a pimple and laughed. Told me to shut up when I spoke, told me he didn't care about what I was saying, pulled the blanket from me when I was trying to relax, told me I was moody. So I just said I think I'm gonna go home. I wasn't mean, and he said oh really, I said yea, I've had enough of the rude jokes. He said I am too sensitve. I said OK and left. After I left I feel stupid, like maybe I am over reacting. I don't want him to think I am being a b*tch but sometimes enough is enough, I get it your joking, its over. I just want a kiss or a hug something that shows he cares. Why does he do this? How can I tell him to stop? How can I not let it bother me?

He is a jerk. He's not just "joking". There's a difference between being flirty/playful/sarcasting jokes and mean/rude/degrading jokes. When people do this, they are testing your limits, trying to see how much they can disrespect you. Maybe he lacks social skills and genuinely doesn't know this isn't right, or maybe he is an ass! I'm leaning towards ass, because when you told him how you felt he dismissed you with "you're too sensitive" instead of considering your feelings and compromising. You can do better!

dump him. he's trying to provoke you so he can say yore hysterical. what do you need that for?

hes not being supportive AND he is completely disrespectful & insulting. its already wring you down, as you are questioning if you are over reacting, when he is a complete ass.

The issue is not that he is being _mean_. He is being DISRESPECTFUL... and your too whipped to identify it. Time to move on, imo.

even if you are being a bitch, I believe you have the right to be!

he is the one acting like a total jerk in the first place. you can try talking to him about it, but if he insists that you "shut up", then personally, I would dump him. clearly he doesn't give you the respect that you deserve, and thus he is not worth your time and effort.

How old is he?

You AREN'T over reacting

and you should leave him. At this point I wouldn't even suggest talking to him about it to see if he could change because he seems way too immature to even handle an adult conversation.

Please do yourself a favor and get a new boyfriend. I know some 20 year old who act more mature. Seriously.

I hate people who are rude and annoying, then blame you for being too sensitive. They're just as bad as people who never apologize.

I feel like if you want to be with someone that will be affectionate and kind that he isn't him. If it were me I would end the relationship. You deserve better!

Maybe the dating information he found on the internet wasn't quite accurate. What an ass. Tell him to stop and if he doesn't, dump him.
