Am I crazy for getting upset if my boyfriend tells me he has someone else then says it is only a joke.
It's not the first time he has said if either!

He's the joke. Dump hii, he's childish and immature.

Dump him. Either there’s truth in it or he is emotionally abusing you.

Depends on the context, me and DP joke on my days off when he’s in work I’m off to see my boyfriend. He has a new wacky name each time, slight inside joke when we both know I’m probably off to B&M buying tatt I don’t need 😂

Many a true word said in jest.

So your boyfriend enjoys upsetting you, then minimising your distress?

You do know you are not obliged to tolerate this, try to understand why he does it, or spend any more time wondering about it than it takes to tell him "ok, you're nasty, I'm dumping you"?

If he says it seriously he is trying to provoke a reaction - if he enjoys that he is a twat.

Having said that I can think of a few times when a partner and I have been fooling around and enjoying a laugh and one of us will say " I can always find someone better". That was light hearted and I didn't take offence and neither did she

Unfortunately this sounds like the former

You're not crazy at all.

He is deliberately fuckijg with your head.

Dump the daft twat, asap.

You boyfriend enjoys hurting you. He doesn't like you very much. He is seeing how far he can go hurting you and then telling you he didn't hurt you.

He will next start telling you how you must feel and behave when he hurts you like this.

A wind-up is only a joke if everyone thinks it's funny.

Oblomov22 · 19/10/2022 22:50

What a twat.

devildeepbluesea · 19/10/2022 22:51

You’re crazy if you stay with him, whether it’s true or not. There is only one possible reason we would say it.

CrispyNoodles · 19/10/2022 22:52

He's just nasty OP, just lose him.
