[quote=Anonymous]I am a woman but also grew up in a family that teased each other all the time. We weren't a serious family. A lot of giving each other a hard time and sarcastic and witty comments. SInce we grew up with it, we knew how to give and take and we knew it was all in good fun.

I actually didn't realize while growing up that people who grow up in serious homes without a lot of humor would find it mean and offensive. When I was 17 or 18, someone told me I was mean after I joked with them and it caught me off guard. I asked them more about why they thought I was mean and we have a great conversation about it. I made adjustments after that and changed. My close friends tend to be those who can joke and laugh at themselves and others and I wouldn't have married someone who didn't get it either but if it isn't someone in my close circle, I am very careful what I say and I don't joke with them.

But it would be extremely hard for me if my husband only wanted serious conversations with no wit or humour or joking around. I wouldn't be able to be in that kind of marriage (but I wouldn't have married a serious person who doesn't joke or who is offended by joking). [/quote]
