[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, he has no problem with what I cook and has said many times I am great cook, but out of nowhere will say the food is bad and he’s going to get a stomachache (“uh oh, I better get a barf bag “) or say the kids may get sick from something I make. He says this in front of them often and thinks it’s hysterical. I’ve stopped laughing and recently said it sounds like he should take over making meals because he keeps making these “jokes,” so obviously he has an issue with the food I make.

He did not like that answer and said I’ve gotten very “uptight.” Um, after spending an hour cooking for him and my kids because he did not want take out, I don’t need him saying the food is bad and trying to get them into making fun of the food, too. It kinda feels humiliating after a while, even like he’s messing with my head.

When I’ve given him a taste of his own medicine, making fun of something he did or made, wow, does he get defensive and snide. He does not take it as a joke, at all. I think the behavior is doing damage to our relationship and he’s not getting it. He’s free to a jerk and turn things around and say haha can’t take a joke, but the treatment only goes one way. Anyone else deal with this? Did things just get worse? [/quote]

Instead of playing tit for tat, talk to him in clear words that its hurtful for you and damaging for the kids.[/quote]
