Boyfriend insulting but making out it’s a joke?!

[Mytype]

Me and my partner been together for 5 years and we have a 2 year old.
But lately he makes me feel crap about myself.
He always makes remarks about my hair, my clothes. Today, he has called me greedy twice.
The recent time we were feeling our Xmas presents trying to guess, and we said we would open one each. I said to open this one of his because it was just a stocking filler (sweets) and he turned around and said I only want him to open it because I’m greedy and want some!
I was in shock because why be so nasty?
Whenever I say anything it’s always I’m overreacting or it was a joke and stop being so serious

The fact you said 'I was in shock' suggests that he isn't generally unkind to you, yet, you've said recently he has been making some comments that have upset you - which is it ?

It's both, there's no contradiction here. You can continually be shocked by someones's nastiness.

Well, going on this thread you can tell those who like to make jokes at other people's expense eh?

OP our partners are supposed to lift us up, not put us down. If he's making you feel bad regularly then this isn't a long term thing.

Women caping for a man who makes nasty comments about his partner's hair, clothes, weight. Yuk.

Some 'joke'.

Don't listen to the Handmaidens OP, whenever a woman is made to feel like rubbish they swarm to stick the boot in, getting a kick out of it.

Move your thread to Relationships, don't feed them.

Your bf is rude and offensive btw. You can tell him, or just roll your eyes 'here we go again' when he starts, and just change the subject entirely, don't be drawn into it.

Or make personal 'jokes' about him. I guarantee he won't like it. Only a 'joke though, isn't it...?
