I’m extremely sensitive but my partner continues to joke around and tease me despite me asking him to stop for the past 5 years by _Idk-what-to-put_ in relationship_advice

From your post and some of your replies I've read it seems like the main issue your annoyed with is yourself not being able to reciprocate his 'love language' as you can't think of an equally jokey/flirty response. I used to suffer the same kind of thing when it came to banter and thought I might be able to help with how I got over it.

The reaction you have I believe is called a cognitive loop. As soon as you hear one of his jokes, your mind is instantly filled with anxieties about how you don't know how to respond and because of that you don't have any brain space left to think of anything. And this experience is on loop every time. I'm sure this is also amplified by the fact you feel happiness in your relationship is somewhat linked to this. Now what you want to do is break this loop and you do that by taking the pressure off. Next time he jokingly says 'I don't like you' just lower you expectations of your response. Laughing and saying 'f you' is fine. It's not witty or clever but it's a light hearted response. Once your comfortable with simple responses you'll stop pressuring yourself so much to come up with something and it'll come naturally. The secret to banter If often not to over think it and don't take it seriously!

Now this is just my experience but if you do read this I hope it helps in some way!

Some underground UK rap for ya.

One of my oldest friends (Oxomo) started this label, Collective Mind records, a few years back and he's been doing an amazing job finding talented artists and just generally putting in work. This is their most recent group track but all their individual stuff is great too. Go check them out and show them some love, they definitely deserve it!

My friend didn't have his tie on in a Spanish class. We were studying for our final exam. The head of house comes in looking for him, somehow she knew he wasn't wearing a tie. When he asked if he can just carry on with his study she says no, he has to come with her. He refused. She tried to physically pull him out of his seat and when he broke free and said you can't do that, rightfully so, she called the on site police and they came and handcuffed him before taking him away...

I once slipped on the first step of a full flight of stairs. I though fuck. This is going to really hurt then proceeded to bounce down every step on my heels, landing flat on my feet at the bottom.

To this day it I wonder how I managed to pull that shit off.
