I love trying new recipes for my boyfriend. He always eats everything but makes little jokes like 'salt much?' or 'interesting texture.' It's starting to kill my joy. Am I too sensitive?

There's a difference between playful teasing and death by a thousand cuts. If it stings every time, it's not funny anymore. Try this: next time he does it, pause, look at him, and say calmly: “Hey, I put real effort into this. Those jokes actually hurt.” Don't laugh it off. His reaction will tell you everything — apology and change, or “relax, it's a joke.” The first is fixable. The second is disrespect.
