What do i do when my boyfriend takes my joke offensively?

Question

So my boyfriend loves to tickle me a lot. I like to play around too until I'm bout ready to pee my pants from being tickled too much. So I made a joke bout him needing a straight jacket and he took it seriously. It was just a joke and now he says that he will just keep his hands off of me. But I like his hands all over me. Could someone give me some advise on how to handle this.

Answer 1

This'll sound snarky, but try finding someone with a better sense of humor.

If you're stubborn about sticking with the one you've got, then rationally and calmly explain to him that it was just a joke, and that you like his touch.

Answer 2

is he serious??? if he cant take a joke like that then you need to ask him about his boundaries. apologize to him and ask him y he took that so offensive. maybe something happened in his past.

ask him about it and apologize

Answer 3

Tell him you just want him to stop when you tell him to. You clearly were kidding and he's being overly sensitive. Try tickling him to show him there's no hard feelings. He'll get over it.

Answer 4

tell him to take the stick out of his butt.
