“I suppose you mean that your partner should be someone who thinks and feels about things close enough to how you think and feel, correct?” – Yes, that’s what I meant.
I can’t think of any joke specifically, they sound like attacks or judging but they are not like that, I just don’t receive them in the way he meant them if that makes sense. For example, if I say I want to try to cook something he’s like “what’s plan b?? i don’t want to die” but he says it jokingly and I don’t find it funny. Or with his mother he says jokes like “can’t you see how fat you are?? how much are you gonna eat??” the way I say it seems mean but he is really joking and his mother seems to get his jokes.
Or sometimes when I want to talk serious he makes jokes and it’s annoying. On the other hand I like that he doesn’t take things so seriously and he really doesn’t get upset if I make a mean joke.
Another thing that I don’t like is that he doesn’t find funny the things I find funny and viceversa. Although, there is sometimes a middle point where we both laugh at the same things and he makes me laugh.
