Ask Amy: His teasing has gotten mean, and he won’t stop

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:31 GMT

I love the fact that he has the ability to make people laugh.Over the past few years, he has gone from poking fun at me in an actual funny way to him just being creatively mean.One example of his humor: He will pretend he’s limping, dragging his foot behind him and groaning. This started more than two years ago when I was briefly hobbled by a broken foot. Honestly, at this point I don’t think it’s funny.Another example started when we were playing a trivia game with friends. I blanked on the name of one of my favorite actresses, and ever since then he has called me “Movie Buff [followed by a slur used to insult mentally challenged people].”Those and other comments he makes about me feel like an attack on my values and personality, and they persist daily, to the point where our children (all under the age of 10) mirror ...
