This has been going on for the entire marriage. If my hubby discovers that something annoys me, he will do it for his enjoyment of annoying me. I ask him to stop nicely at first, but the childishness of him continuing to do this behavior that just eats at me. He truly seems to think it's funny when I'm annoyed to the point of anger. His favorite thing to do, puts his butt up against me and pretend to fart. Repeatedly. It's making me sad that he thinks annoying me till I'm angry is funny. What can I do about this short of avoiding him? Oh, and because I don't laugh at his jokes that make fun of me, he acuses me of having no sense of humor.


So much peeling...where am I under all this peeling? Yoo-hoo, are you in there...nothing yet.

Welcome to MB! Are you familiar with the Basic Concepts? How about taking the focus off of the undesirable behavior by replacing it with 15 hours of fun Undivided Attention (UA) time?

Is there a reason he wants you to avoid him?
