Confused

I don't usually like to put my personal business out there, but I have had some things on my mind lately. My significant other and I have been together for nearly a year now. Like all couples we have our trials, but lately it seems like we have been having more trial than usual. I always end up feeling guilty about something because I hurt his feelings over different things. It isn't my intention and maybe I just have thicker skin, but I feel like when he makes jokes with me it is okay, but not when I make jokes with him. I feel like he can be really sensitive sometimes and it always has me on edge because he is the last person I want to offend or hurt in any way. Am I wrong to be frustrated when I feel he is being too sensitive about some things? I don't mean to be and I would never voice those frustrations out loud to him, but it bothers me having to keep it all inside sometimes. I know this post may be trivial, but any thoughts or words of advice are welcome. thanks!

Some people are just more sensitive than others. I myself am a pretty sarcastic person with a dark sense of humor but my bf gets that by now. And at the same time it's usually me to thinks too much into things. I would just simply say a quick "sorry" when he does get offended. And if it's something little just leave it light and simple. Say "no offense but..." Or on the other hand if what you're saying is in fact rude just put a filter on it and think before you speak. No one should have to walk on eggshells in the relationship but maybe try having a talk if he gets really upset about something. Let him know you don't mean to hurt him and you're just who you are at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for this response. I apologize for not seeing this sooner though. This makes perfect sense and you're right. I think I do know that I need to filter myself a little more and I know sometimes he may overreact to my ways. I do know that I don't want something super trivial to come between us, so I thank you for helping me understand this.
