That was how my ex "showed affection." By picking on me, making me the butt of his jokes, mimicking my laugh, etc.
It's so nice not to have to deal with that anymore.
UGH, yes. HSP the guy I dated October/November was soooo sarcastic with me. And I took it because I kept telling myself I was too sensitive. ha, NO - he was just a fucking douchewad that couldn't say anything nice without covering it in a backhanded sarcastic compliment. So now I am really sensitive to noticing how men joke about/around me.
Ditto ditto ditto!
Not only am I gleeful that I don't have to take it anymore, when I'm around exH (we still have a lot of mutual friends and things have been friendly for the last few months) and I see him doing to other people I do a little jig in my head that his shitty behavior is no longer a reflection on me. Even when I wasn't the target, that shit makes me SO uncomfortable!
