How do I tell DH that my sense of humour isnt the same anymore?

This is awkward to explain but I'll try my best. Me and DH met when we were 17 and we were both very silly, always childish and used to do daft things and laugh at peoples reactions etc.

Anyway we're now 27 and he's the same but I can't be bothered anymore and sometimes it embarrasses me. For example we bought a kitten for DD (2) so needed a name. DH wanted to call it "satan" just to see the looks on the vets faces. I gave a half hearted chuckle but said no, we should call it something nice. Anyway he said "shit-face" and got a bit annoyed and said I'd think of something later. Anyway he filled the registration form in for the vets without me and put the cats name down as "shitface". I didn't know and phoned the vets today to make an apointment and they said it wasn't registered with them. I told them DH had given the form back on Friday and she started being really off with me before telling me that they had disregarded it as they assumed it was a joke. I got annoyed and asked what she was on about and she said the cats name was innapropriate and we were welcome to register the cat under another name.

I text DH at work and told him he had to phone the vet and apologise and he replied saying I used to be able to have a laugh and now I'm boring and moangy.

I'm worried that this is the beginning of cracks starting to appear which I know might seem like an over-reaction but he's right, we never do seem to laugh together anymore. I have more fun with my friends.

I agree -- show him a compilation of non-stop Colin Hunt from The Fast Show and tell him "That's you, that is."
