AIO for getting upset that my boyfriend keeps “testing” me in public?
My boyfriend has this habit where he’ll purposely say things in front of people just to see how I react. At first it was small stuff, like joking that I’d probably forget his birthday or saying I’m “too friendly” with waiters. I laughed it off because I thought he was kidding.
But last weekend we were at a friend’s party and he randomly told everyone, “Honestly I never thought she’d stay loyal this long.” Everyone got quiet and laughed awkwardly while I just stood there embarrassed. Later I told him that comment really bothered me and he said I was overreacting and that he likes to “push buttons” because it shows people’s true personalities.
Now I’m starting to feel anxious anytime we go out because I never know when he’s going to embarrass me for a reaction. He says I’m too sensitive and can’t take jokes.
AIO?
