[quote=Anonymous]One of my friends and I have developed a good relationship with each other, and as such our spouses are also good friends. The four of us hang out often, the kids get along great, and it’s overall been a very fun ride. I would consider the dynamic of the four of us almost like brothers and sisters.

My friends spouse can be pretty offensive and rude with a lot of his jokes toward people, including my friend and me. Their dynamic is their dynamic, so it’s not my business, but I’m starting to feel hurt by some of his jokes and comments toward me. I let a lot of things go, but it’s just starting to really bother me.

Me speaking to him or her about it won’t change anything - he’s very much stuck in his ways and will not change for anyone. I feel like my best bet is to change the dynamic/closeness my relationship with him. How can I do that without changing the overall group dynamic as well as the dynamic between me and my friend? Are there any other options I haven’t considered? [/quote]
