I think this is the important part. It appears that she is laughing with you more than at you. Big difference.teds787 wrote:Very thoughtful reply Annoyed Man. I agree with you 100%.
I never said she teased me in public. The teasing doesn't come often and it's always a private poke in the ribs,... with a smile. We've been together now for 4 years come this New Years Eve. I don't see an end in sight nor do I see the beginning of a marriage (we've both been there and done that). She is definitely more pushy on me with her ideals than I am with mine on her. But ever since I survived my first marriage, my attitude is pretty much "This is who I am. Take it or leave it." So far, the pros out weigh the cons for both of us. That may not always be the case, but I'll love her for as long as it is.
BTW: I think I'm actually winning (by a very small amount). The teasing is subsiding and on at least one occasion she seemed to be thankful that I WAS carrying. :-)

Also, the fact that she was thankful at one point that you were carrying shows that perhaps she is starting to see things from a different perspective.
