My boyfriend once told me that if he doesn’t make fun of someone, then that means he doesn’t like them. And so far I find that saying true, not just for him but for a whole array of people in relationships — at least from what I observe.

At church, when we are doing a game, and especially if it’s men vs women, the wives are particularly vicious to their husbands. It is all in jest though. They’ll yell stuff such as, “Is that supposed to be acting?” Or “Hey, you’re over time, that counts as cheating!” All with big smiles on their faces. And the husbands will return the favor by calling out their game, of course, they tend to be sweeter.
