Ok this whole situation is sounding really stupid to me but I thought I’d still ask for advice. So I’m dating this guy and we tease each other... a lot. And like usually I’m on the receiving end and I don’t really mind. I’m just like kinda dumb about a lot of stuff. I don’t know much about technology, I forget stuff really easily, I’m more of an artsy person rather than a math/science person, etc, etc. Anyway, another huge hobby of mine is anime and manga. I think a lot of people dismiss it because it’s “weird” and “stupid” but I like the stories that are told, the art, and I think some of it can make you think. My bf kind of hates it and that’s ok. He just also makes fun of it and makes fun of me for enjoying it. This was fine at first, you know I enjoy a few funny jabs and I like to think I can take it. But then it just kept going. He keeps making fun of me and anime every single time we talk. And we were on the phone and I kinda “snapped.” I told him he was being a jackass and really annoying and I hung up on him. Then he texts me saying he was really sorry and he didn’t mean to hurt me (I didn’t really feel hurt per say just more annoyed. He just responded like I got super duper offended and that’s also annoying to me but whatever). I responded in a text telling him that I didn’t appreciate him relentlessly mocking my hobbies. (Also side note: I kinda took a couple mins to respond because I was doing something and he seemed annoyed and said he was “swallowing his pride” to apologize to me and that seemed rude but whatever) Anyway end of story his responses made me feel like I was being over dramatic and stupid. Like I get it’s just anime but am I a baby for being really annoyed at him?

    ditch him jesus fucking christ. Men are unberable I have no idea how yall do this. Apologizing for being a fucking asshole means swallowing his pride? If men had no pride they'd be more people and less fucking apes jus saying

    COmmunications is most important here.. Make sure you don't snap at him but explain carefully how you feel and how he is not respecting you by his mockings.

    Don't give a damn about his "swallowing pride" - he doesn't sound sincere if he's saying that

    If he doesnt correct his habits, then you need to consider whether its him not respecting anime/manga or if its him not respecting YOU

    Being in a relationship should entail some modicum of understanding, acceptance and respect of both party's personality quirks and hobbies, etc. Using texting to communicate can cause issues due to the lack of inflection or tone found in typed messages as compared to the spoken word, thus quarrels should be discussed and/or resolved face to face rather than via texts. You enjoying manga and anime is equivalent to his enjoying a sports team or television program, so how would he feel if you consistently commented how idiotic and immature he is because he is into sports (or whatever he's into). In the past, I, too, was mildly teased about manga and anime, I told them to shut up or piss off, but if you want to keep your relationship, I would suggest discussion over aggression.

    Start talking to him because communication is key in most relationship. I think he should tone it done on the teasing because it seems as if he doesn't really care about you. He's basically blaming you because he had to apologize and it's your fault. It's alright to like anime or whatever as long as you're not hurting anybody or yourself. Honestly, you might have to think about breaking it off. He doesn't seem to respect your hobbies, likes and maybe you might be better off friends not lovers.

    pls just dump him. it's clear he doesn't respect you
