The balance equation.

you both have appeal to each other - a little shallow, but it's there. your statement would only be in jest if he'd never been a big gift buyer, and you fell into the stereotype problem. would seem some underlying issues within your relationship.....good luck

You should be honoured. At least you give good head.

NONE of you know the context this comment was said in, you have no idea what the conversation was like prior to the OP's comment. Don't come to conclusions about something you know nothing about, I cannot fathom how illogical you all are being. And no, there is not necessarily any truth to a non-serious comment. How can you even say that there was a basis of truth in what she said? You have no idea what you're talking about. Reading comments on FML makes me want to cry at how full of idiots our world is.

S to the L to the U to the T

#108 (Ashora) And you know what the context was? Are you psychic or something? A non-serious comment, like it or not does have some truth behind it. It might be completely subconscious or it might be a conscious effort, but the brain does interpret signals coming in from your subconscious... only thing being that you are not aware of them. So yes, you might be 100% certain that you didn't mean something you said jokingly, but deep down you did. As to the OP... yes, you deserve it... sorry to say, but imagine the following conversation: - I'm staying with you only because you give good head. (Your bf, starting a convo with a joking insult) - Yeah? Well, I'm staying with you only because you buy me a lot of gifts! (You reacting the way he did) - Oh... I was just joking. (Your bf, realizing he just said something hurtful and trying to mask the situation... either because he doesn't want to be get rid of your good head or because he actually didn't mean it.) - Sucks! I meant it. (Your reply, because you still feel offended by his words and want to hurt him for it) Next time, when you open your mouth to do something other than give the aforementioned 'good head', use the thing residing in your head that most people call 'brains' and give it a very good thought. Otherwise, you will end up back here, whining that you said something jokingly and got what you deserved.

you were jus asking for that one weren't ya??

Better than if he said you gave shitty head. Time to grin and swallow it

You definitely set yourself up on that one. But on the bright side, you give good head.

98, 99, 102, 108, and the rest of you fools need to get it through your heads that insults are not funny. Ever. They just aren't. Even if the other person takes it the right way ten times in a row, every time you use an insult as a joke, you're rolling the dice. The OP came up snake eyes this time, and deserves every bit of it. I had to break my own family of this habit. It started out as fun when my brother and I got old enough for more sophisticated humor. But it didn't take long before you couldn't tell the difference between "joking" and "not joking." It also didn't take long before we were using "jokes" to give each other a hard time about stuff we were actually serious about. I finally had to stop doing it myself and then make them quite doing it, because it was screwing up the family. So learn it, live it, love it: Insults are not jokes. Jokes are not a good way to soften criticism. Criticism meant seriously is not funny. Don't confuse these things and your life will be a lot less painful. If people have to try to decipher everything you say to decide if you are joking, serious, or somewhere in between, you'll end up alone. That's a lot of work. It's a lot easier to get along with people who say what they mean and mean what they say. I hope the OP's b/f breaks up with her. No ******* is worth all that work. There are plenty of nicer girls out there.
