Spouse put down ' jokes ' . . . Who else out there doesn't like jokes as those ?

Sarcastic ' jokes ' that put down a man as a husband or a woman as the wife . . . Who else out here does'nt care for jokes as those ?

When the two were dating or engaged the other person is so precious to them...Why should that other person be any less precious after exclusively dating or marriage ?

I do have a great sense of humor . . . Yet, when I hear ' jokes ' as those I feel it is feeding into and encouraging the mind thought that it's o.k. to mock and put down the one person on the face of this planet that you choose to share your heart with. . . your husband or wife.

If a person feels that way to make jokes as those then they should do their spouse a favor and get out of the marriage . . .or they should never have a relationship with a woman or man at all.

I do have a sense of humor . . . But, to put down the one you share a love with. . . I just don't get that.

.

What do you think ?

Ah come on, no marriage is perfect in every way, and humor arises out of this reality. It's just a way to cope, and it can even help people to realize or assess their roles in their own marital situations, which can incite positive change.

EDIT: So you're telling me your marriage ended because you couldn't take a joke? No, I doubt it. I bet there were plenty of other real reasons why it didn't work out-- the jokes just made it worse because they were coming from a bad husband who refused to compromise. Anyway, maybe you could post a couple examples of exactly what jokes you mean. I just assumed you were referring to those typical ones that seem prevalent in e-mail forwards.

I suppose that's an example of marital humor gone bad, and he was using those comments solely to manipulate your feelings. I appreciate the best answer nod. I wish you luck in finding a man who deserves you. Report It

Some jokes are meant as a form of endearment, as is the above, with no malice intended. But when they are intended to be vicious and hurtful, then I agree with you.
Depends on HOW the joke is said. With the intent to hurt then

they are bad. If it is all in fun then that should be okay. If the

love is strong enough then the gentle teasing shouldn't hurt

the relationship. I am 50 and my husband is 46. His eyesight

isn't the best any more. He needs his glasses in order to read

anything. When ever I hand something to him read I tell him to put

his glasses on because he's getting old now. We both laugh.

I need my glasses on just to figure out how to get out of bed.lol
