Tessa ReneeThere’s nothing charming about being the punchline of someone’s “jokes.” If his humor comes at your expense, it’s not wit, it’s passive aggression in disguise.
We all love playful banter, but there’s a line between teasing and tearing down. When he calls you “too sensitive” for pointing it out, that’s not humor, that’s gaslighting. When he hides criticism inside sarcasm, that’s not personality, that’s disrespect. And when you laugh it off to keep the peace, you’re training him to keep crossing the line.
The rodeo metaphor here? He’s not playful, he’s poking the bull, waiting for you to react so he can act surprised when you finally buck. Don’t let him make entertainment out of your patience.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
If the “joke” cuts deeper than it lands, it’s not funny, it’s a red flag.
