Longtime lurker here. Anyway, I've been married a year and a half, and when I'm with friends I like to make wife jokes, like you'd see on Married with Children, the ball and chained, no sex kinds of jokes, you know what i mean. It's been no issue between me and my friends, they make the same jokes about their GFs, its just banter and venting mild annoyances about our partners.
Anyway, I tend to keep my time with her and that with my buddies separate, just like it that way. Cause of that she isn't up to speed with our inside jokes and when we started making wife jokes she sort of sunk into her chair. I made one about her, looked over at her and she was sort of crying.
I took her outside and asked her what the problem was and she went on about how "it's not cool for me to shittalk her, and that I seem to hate her or something" when I make "slightly offensive" jokes about her to my buds. I told her it's all jokes but she said "it's disrespectful to make fun of her like that" and that we were sexist for all joining in joking about our GFs.
I sort of got annoyed and told her this is why I don't bring her out with my friends, she got pissed, called a cab and went home. I went back to my friends, but when I got home she wouldn't let me touch her. This was yesterday, since me and my friends had a few days off at the same time, and she's been kind of off ever since.
I personally think it's no big deal that i make simple jokes, but she thinks they are really hurtful apparently, and she seems upset with me. AITA?
