I took my girlfriend and friend out to dinner.

Friend says, "I love living with someone."

Turning to my girlfriend, she asks, "how do you feel?"

My girlfriend looks at me and then replies, "it's....fine."

What do you feel is an appropriate response?

I sat down with her later and tried to talk about it, but she said she was joking. I just don't get the joke.

Sounds like she was just ribbing you. Based on the info you've provided, I'd let it go.

Thank you for the reply! Wouldn't you want your partner to be enthused about living with you though?

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would, but barring any other info, I'd accept her statement that it was just an attempt at humor at face value Unless she seems different suddenly at home, or has an attitude or starts avoiding you or something.

Would you want to marry someone who said that to your face?

Bro, if that's the worst thing your spouse ever says to you, you're a blessed man. Being able to get past things is a big part of any relationship. TBH, if you're truly not able to let it go (again, barring any other information about how she treats you), you might need to consider whether marriage is for you. Living with a partner with that kind of commitment takes a lot of work and a lot of flexibility. You gotta roll with the punches sometimes.

You seem genuine and sincere. I'm sorry that you're hurting, and. I hope you feel better soon man. Best wishes, for real.

You seem oddly fixated on this, I think you need to learn to let some things go, this doesn't seem serious at all.

If you ask this many questions to her face about a small line like that I would be concerned for her.

Ok, thank you for your help! I don't want to make mountains out of molehills but I am pretty hurt. I'll think hard on what you said.

She just wants your dick more than you're giving it to her

We make jokes all the time - "my marriage is a little sore today," or suggesting the other get an apartment for their hobby materials.
