An ongoing issue in our relationship has been that he makes abrasive jokes and I take them literally and end up crying or getting upset. A week ago, I bought laundry softener instead of detergent and he kept harping on it the rest of the day. Then before bed he made a comment along the lines of “how was the laundry detergent” and I asked what his problem was. He said he was going to stop joking with me and that I take everything too literally and cry too much. I was shocked and didn’t say anything and went to bed. For the past week he’s been cold and distant borderline ignoring me. I’ve communicated my feelings and asked him to elaborate on his but he gets very defensive and makes it out to be that I’m the problem and that he’s not going to joke with me anymore and that he’s helping me “get over it” by doing this. I’m so upset and frustrated I don’t know what to do. The vibe is off and I just want him to go back to normal. I hate this! How can I fix things?
