I'm with a much younger guy which has it's advantages and disadvantages. I was on a video call with him when he was at the barbershop waiting to get a haircut. After we hung up the video call, he sent a pic of his barber friend saying he was pissing him off.
Apparently, his friend was repating every word my S/O was saying to me on the video call.
Why would they be making fun of him for talking to me?
Why do my S/O friends tease him about me? Is it a bad thing?
Its what guys do. I think girls do it to. Its a buddy thing. Make fun of the great things you have in life. You clearly are a great thing in his life. And you are most likely not pissing anyone off. its just an exaggeration. And take it this way. Even if it where true he choose to piss them off anyway just because you are more important.
Joking around tends to be teasing but its all in good fun. Years ago our crew got a little "pep talk" about joking around. The very good question about why does it always have to be negative came up. That really got us all thinking. At first we struggled to joke in a positive way. But after a while it became easy. "Oh no here comes Bill, Now we are going to look like a bunch of lazy loafing good for nothings next to him" - a twist on negativity. "Why do suits always look so happy when you put one on?"
Oh no, I never pissed off anyone, LOL. His friend pissed him off. I don't mind younger. However, he's muuuuch younger and if he didn't pursue I would have never entertained it. I doubt he got thatvpissed at his friend but just told me he was peeved.
This could've been handled differently. On a fundamental level, guys are going to tease each other. Some are genuine, others not so much. But if it to the level that it is "pissing him off" He could confront the issue right there vs. sending you a text about it.
It sounds like there are no boundaries set there. He could've not taken the video call right there, he could've excused himself.
The barber friend could've bumped him out of the seat and cut the next head while he's on that call. It could've been handled differently.
But nothing I'm typing changes the fact that he's inviting the teasing. He can also end it.
Also, mental note for you - he just gave a clue into how he handles things. Be safe and good luck.
Huh what? He wasn't in the barber seat. He was just chiling and his friend was just shadowing his words as he was cutting the head of my S/Os little nephew. I don't know what happened after. He was just venting to me.
