Was I wrong?

Question

I made a joke to my boyfriend whose name is Matthew. I said “you’re my second favorite Matthew” and he said whose your first?! And I said “Matthew McConaughey” (like the actor). It was a really dumb/not funny joke and I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years so I didn’t really think about it. My boyfriend got extremely hurt and is upset with me. Was I wrong?

Accepted Answer

men say women are too sensitive and can’t take a joke but then do this type of shit ✋🙄

Answer

Lol why he in his feelings 😂he will get over it

Answer

He was hurt. Why not just validate his feelings?
We might think he’s too sensitive, but not all of us see that as a bad quality

Answer

your boyfriend is too damn sensitive.

Answer

I bet if someone posted the reverse of this, that their boyfriend told them they were the second best Emily or whatever, there’d be a ton of comments sympathizing with her and validating her feelings. Compared with pretty much only comments criticizing this guy. 
I think it’s reasonable for him to feel hurt, and if he’s a human you love, he should be comforted and reassured. 
No point in everybody making fun of him for having feelings, and for wanting to feel loved and valued.

Answer

Maybe your bf is insecure about his look or about your relationship.

Answer

Mine would have laughed cuz he had a sense of humor.

Answer

It was a joke he needs to get over it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Lmao I told my husband to guess my fave four letter male name & he said his name (Ivan) & I was like nah, Abel (Abel Tesfaye or The Weeknd). He laughed & was like “that’s a stupid name” 😂 but he knew it was a joke & knows that I’ve been a fan forever. Your man needs to chill

Answer

Lol I literally told my fiancé last night “we’re having sex tonight, I watched a movie with Chris Pratt and now I’m horny”🤣 We all have celebrity crushes. He’s gotta chill.
