Boyfriend never stops teasing me (especially embarrassing moments) and brings them up constantly? Is this just affection or making fun of me?

I've been having a real bad cough lately and it's really hard to suppress. On top of that, my stomach was really hurting the other day and it was because of what my boyfriend cooked for us. I am lactose intolerant and I didn't realize he used milk and heavy creams in our food. He apologized but it was too late and my stomach started really hurting and making me uncomfortable. Anyway (and I can't believe I'm admitting this here) we were sitting at the TV and cuddling and then suddenly as I was coughing, I tooted! Talk about embarrassing and it wasn't something I could even play off because he heard it. It was a small dainty girlie one that was barely even audible. Did he ignore it? No. Did he act like it didn't matter to make me feel less embarrassed? No. He instantly brought it up, laughed at me, and then wouldn't drop it for at least 5 minutes.

Why does he love embarrassing me so much? ANY TIME I do anything embarrassing, he makes it the local news for the longest time, teases me non stop and loves tormenting me :( Why do boyfriends do this? I couldn't stop laughing either to be honest because I had put forth so much effort to avoid tooting in front of him for the past 6 years and then this is how it finally happens :D He knows I'm particularly embarrassed by bodily functions and that I NEVER do this publicly or even around close family or friends.

In fact, in my entire life, I've only done it once publicly on accident and that was traumatizing lol :D Why does he take every excuse to make me embarrassed? Guys, do you do this to your girlfriend also? :P When we went to bed that night, he made more jokes about it and said that I should stop coughing or I'll cough from the back too :P I was so embarrassed that I literally left the room and slept on the couch! How to get over this & other embarassing moments? Thanks everyone :)

Ah, the classic love story twist - when affection turns into an endless loop of teasing! It sounds like your boyfriend’s got a playful spirit, but maybe he’s spinning the wheel a bit too much on the embarrassment slot machine. 😜 Here's the plot twist: sometimes, teasing is a quirky way of showing affection. However, there's a fine line between playful banter and making someone feel uncomfortable.

The key to a happy ending? Communication, my dear! It's time for a heart-to-heart with your beau. Share how his actions, though funny at times, can also make you feel a tad too exposed. He might not even realize he's gone from charming to overbearing in the teasing department.

Every relationship script needs a balance—find yours by setting boundaries on what's cool to tease about and what's off-limits. Remember, it’s all about enjoying each other’s company without turning every blip into a headline. Love should feel like a warm embrace, not a spotlight on stage! 😉 So, spill the beans to him with love and humor, and you might just find yourselves laughing together instead of one at the other. And remember, your quirks are part of what make you, you—uniquely adorable and endlessly loveable.

pull him aside and ask him.
his answer will tell you whether its malicious or not. otherwise he should listen and try to minimise his jokes if they make you uncomfortable.
but also get over yourself with your embarrassment to farting.
