[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband does this and it drives me bananas. I will try my best to articulate what I’m talking about:

DH and I are loyal to a particular brand, say it’s an airline or hotel chain or even paper towel. If I come home and say that one of my friends/coworkers/family members is using a different airline/hotel chain/paper towel brand, [b]he will joke about it with me[/b] (“I wish them luck!”) etc.

But if DH comes home and says HIS friend/coworkers/family members are using a different brand and [b]I make the same “wish them luck” joke[/b], he always has something to say in their defense (“I’ve heard good things about X they offer”, or, “I think it’ll be a good fit for them because of X”)

It infuriates me. I don’t even know what to call it. One-upping doesn’t sound right. And why is it only when it’s someone HE is close with? [/quote]

Sound to me like you guys are joking together when you tell the story but when he tells the story he doesn't mean it as a joke but you're taking it as one. [/quote]
