Am I just mean? My husband is one who likes to try to make "jokes" all the time. Sometimes I feel like he just opens his mouth to hear himself talk because the things that come out of his mouth just make no sense to reply. So I have tried just responding to his sarcastic remarks or dumb things with a response that would be obvious if what he was saying was actually worth responding to. For example, he may say, "Oh...would you like me to get you some stinky cheese?" if I say I'm nauseous or something. That may be a bad example at the moment but shows how he likes to be annoying. Or if I ask if he would rub my neck, he says, " Oh, you would like to rub my balls?' But it is seriously all day long. Smart *** comments or jokes that are not funny at all. I find I don't even bother to answer him and just ignore him. Or I tell him it is just not funny, but he says I have no sense of humor and am negative. But as I try to ignore him, more annoyance builds up day after day. How can I deal with this better? Polite fake laugh?
