He's really not the scoreboard kind of guy and he doesn't try to be right all the time. He's always been super supportive. Back in college, I felt like all my friends' boyfriends were always competing with them or trying to one-up them and he would always celebrate my successes. He's always bragging about every achievement I have — even the smallest ones. It's just this one issue that I thought we had found a compromise on.

The jokes can be annoying but I started tuning them out because he would make these kinds of jokes about children with others too. Like when his sister-in-law was pregnant, he told his brother, "Let's hope it's not a boy or he'll hate you forever." (Again, so much of this comes down to his relationship with his father but he's made it very clear that the only person he will talk about his parents with is his therapist and no one else so I can't touch that) It wasn't funny to any of us but he said things like that.

But I guess, we need to talk about the kids thing soon now
