 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My husband likes to tease me by using a synonym for "delayed" that is an insulting schoolyard taunt. Technically, the word is correct in its meaning, however in common usage, especially when describing a person, it is an insult. I have asked my husband repeatedly to stop. He does it at least weekly, whenever say I'm running late or worried about a potential delay. The last time I asked him to stop, he said it's much too fun for him to ever consider stopping. He fully admits it's fun for him because he's able to insult me under the cover of using a correct term. He says I'm trying to spoil his fun and I should be a good sport. I am really tired of this. What can I do to get him to stop? Thanks. — "Can't Take a Joke" |
