A few times a week, my (31F) partner (33M) insists on calling me a bitch, cunt or cuntface and treats it as a big joke. I’ve told him that I feel disrespected and asked him to stop it multiple times. But he says that it’s a “joke” and it’s “funny” when I get angry. He says that my face makes him want to be mean to me. As I write this, I realise how awful it sounds, but he says this while laughing, so I chalk it up to being one his “jokes” and just brush it off.

Every time this happens, I respectfully ask him to stop. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t, like last night. He keeps doing this till I actually get angry and lash out. Then I get blamed for reacting so angrily. He says I’m too sensitive and that I don’t have a sense of humour.

The irony is that my best friend and I lovingly call each other bitch and neither of us feel disrespected or offended. It only bugs me when he does it, because maybe I don’t feel it is as benevolent?

Anyway Reddit, AITA for taking this too seriously and getting upset/annoyed?
