    My late husband was my safe person. He also was the funniest human on the planet and the hardest I ever laughed was usually at my expense. His teasing was never mean, loaded, veiled… it was pure and silly and sarcastic and witty. He was the greatest human I have ever known and he made the best fun of me. It has do with your heart, where the teasing comes from. I knew without question that my husband thought the best of me- adored me and was unequivocally my safe person, 17 years since he died and I still can feel it. I will miss him forever.

    The teasing thing is actually so important. I got out of a relationship that teased me all the time. It was always “just a joke” but when I left and found a man who treated me every second with respect and grace it made a huge difference in my life. It’s not that we don’t have fun with each other, it’s just only about the things that we have fully communicated about.

    Nothing wrong with telling the waiter you were planning on taking the rest home.
    Speaking as a happily married male, your partner should be your safe space. I've learned not to tease my wife, because she takes it very hard. She has learned to let me talk about something and try to work it out verbally (I'm not good at thinking quietly, which she can come up with an answer really quick).
    In other words, when we came together, we were speaking two languages, and we had to learn how to talk to each other safely. And that's why we've been together for 30 years next month.

    My fiancé told me he fell in love with me because I’ve always made him feel safe, which blew my mind because I always try to be accepting and safe for everyone in my life. So what you said at the end about wanting to be your boyfriend’s safe person is probably one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard someone say because I’ve realized how important being that person for someone else (romantic relationship or otherwise) can be. Wishing you all the happiness in this relationship and in life 🩷

      My partner and I have been together nearly 2 decades now (gosh!), I came close to death twice in that time, and when you go through some heavy crap together it gives you serious perspective. Our code phrase when things get tense is "I'm having a hard time." It's shorthand for "I know I'm being annoying/impossible/etc. but I am overwhelmed right now and I am aware of this and I will do better in a bit, and just need some space and some grace." I don't remember how we agreed on that phrase, but once we did, it made our lives so much easier. And the response is always "I get it, I love you." Which is code for, essentially, "I'm on your side, I understand, we'll work it out." And we give some space and some grace, and we move forward, and talk about stuff when things are calm, if it needs talking about. Having a partner who is willing to talk about hard stuff, willing to consider your better nature and overlook the grumpy missteps, and is willing to do the work to fix the problems and truly move on when things are resolved... and also BEING that partner... it's not always easy, but it's good.

    • @jenniferlynn3537
      @jenniferlynn3537 Před 10 měsíci +12

      My mother never knew how to have fun....except at my expense. Growing up, I never understood why life had to be so miserable all the time...she behaved as though that was how life was meant to be.
      Because jokes in childhood were at my expense, I suppose I became desensitized to them. No joke directed at me one by others in my adult life could ever possibly wound me. Rather, little jokes pointing out my quirks make me feel seen, acknowledged and understood.
      The thing is, jokes should never be sarcastic or cynical or intended to wound. Rather, the stuff to joke about is the stuff your partner knows you love them for - like their athletic prowess or their meticulously manicured lawn that’s the pride of the neighborhood. And the humor should derive from the person’s exceptional gift or skill - and be by way of bragging or complimenting them. A good example would be if a wife said, “Honey PLEASE let the neighbors know before you power-wash the windows again! People are at risk of blindness come sunset from the rays bouncing off our house...”

  • @jespickles
    @jespickles Před 10 měsíci +40

    Regarding your night thoughts on teasing - I voiced the same feelings to my therapist a few weeks ago. Her response: often it’s not necessarily the teasing that hurts someone, but the motivation behind the teasing that’s felt. When your teasing comes from a truly lighthearted place and is done to share or show love, the receiver usually absorbs that energy. But when you’re teasing to passive aggressively communicate something bothering you, or as a defense mechanism (feeling insecure, rejected, embarrassed, etc), it’s likely going to translate as a hostile act to the receiver, so it’s best to pull the brakes on the joke at that point and reflect on what triggered the urge to say it instead.
    Anyway, that resonated and has helped me in those moments, so thought I’d share. You’re killing it at this life shit regardless. Keep being you.❤

    Loved your thought at the end. And, having run the course of "head-over-heels in love" to "annoyed-as-shit that I'm reminding you for the 87th time that plastic bags don't go in the recycling bin," I've been humbled by my marriage repeatedly revealing how short I fall of the loving partner I imagined myself to be. It is a challenge to choose to be unselfish in perpetuity for another person...especially x number of years down the line, when the freshness of new love has faded. I guess what I'm saying is I agree with your goal of being the "safe person" for your partner, and at the same time, what a lifelong challenge to one's nature!! A good challenge.

    Your relationship comments at the end got me reflecting. My husband and I are pretty sarcastic people, but we have never gotten into a habit of teasing one another. I remember at a certain point in the beginning consciously choosing not to disrespect him even in a joking way. I’m blessed to have found the right person who has that mutual respect for me, and it sets our relationship apart from every other relationship I have with other friends and family members. It really is like a sweet and safe place. I’m more traditional in that I believe men require respect and women need to feel love (obviously we both need both), but when I resolved to always respect my boyfriend (now husband), he has always given me the love I needed in return and now we have a very easy but solid bond.

I want to be a person that the kids in my life trust and feel safe coming to when they need me. Same thing with the adults in my life. Being fun can seem easy and exciting. Being safe is a deeper more meaningful connection. Just some thoughts. Thank you for being you Caroline:

BUT, I think if I had taken a different path my live may have looked similar yours in that parallel universe. I’m reminded of a time one of my best friends at the time we’re sitting at a diner, hungover, laughing and eating breakfast when a woman approached us and said she so enjoyed watching us…that she reminded her of herself and a good friend at our age. You’re doing that for me and it’s comfort food for me. So thank you. Carry on. Oh, and I’m not in the camp that thinks we’re watching your slow decline into despair. On the contrary - I fear you will move on into total fulfillment, no longer create content for us and leave a small but not insignificant void on CZcams. Love ya!

But it never feels as good as just being kind.

    Teasing someone, at its core, is just showing off how clever you are.

      It's about vulnerability, really. If you are earnest you are vulnerable because you're showing people exactly who you are all the time. There's no walls. Same with taking someone's side, you're declaring someone to the world that you can't take back and that's vulnerable. If you've been hurt before, it's understandable you don't want to feel that way - it's scary! But it's also part of life. I hope you can find your way to it because it's really quite nice when you do, from a fellow knee-jerk-walls-up person who's also learning still how to be open with the people I love.

I mean, you do you, you know your space, etc., but the mom in me is imploring you to consider fire safety.

    You are so smart, and I loved what you spoke of at the end:
    being someones safe person.
    That resonates and is sincere beyond!!
    You really have been like the sister I never had and help me organize my new loft, think about boys...and help in all angles of life!
    I soooo enjoy solo dining, and once went to Disneyland (my aunt & uncle dropped me off) it was super healing in some strange way.
    Like I got to celebrate myself and do anything~ Caroline, thank you for such laughs, cries and strides.
    Thank you in a really Pivotal part of my life, you've been magically helpful!

      Oh my god, a solo trip to Disneyland sounds incredibly healing. The freedom. I don't think I would have ever considered it before. I'm glad I read your comment. 😊

    Yeyyy, here almost first 😃 Just wanted to say you inspired me to do some decorating in my bedroom, I added pillows, changed my sheets, and DIYed a bookshelf. Now hubby and me are waking up so happy every day, it’s so cozy! Thank you for inspiring me and continue with the awesome work! ❤️❤️❤️
