I'll admit it, I'm somewhat of a gullible person. Either that or I just trust the words coming out of certain people's mouthes a little too much. My boyfriend loves messing with me. He'll sit there and tell me things he knows are not true just to mess with my head, and of course I'll believe him or sometimes even question him on whether or not he's joking around. But he'll never just give up and confess right away, he likes to drag it out and it drives me nuts. He just tells me I can't take a joke, but he does it, a lot! My boyfriend is your typical jokester and I love that about him, but sometimes he jokes about the wrong things and it feels me with insecurities.
I know most people will say "talk to him about it" and I've tried to some degree. But am I wrong in being annoyed with this or am I really not capable of taking a joke?

Being a jokester is one of those traits that can be awesome and annoying at the same time! I'm sure you are a good sport about it but that it just gets old after a while.
Tell you boyfriend you can take a joke but that he needs new material.
1I also understand the love/hate thing for a joker.
Refuse to even smile when he jokes about certain subjects, but don't get angry. Just make it clear that you find those topics upsetting. He'll eventually get the hint.
All jokers want to be funny, so if you ignore him every time he cracks a joke about say, your hair, he'll look for new things to talk about.
2It's pretty difficult to trust someone when they're constantly betraying you. Even though it seems like it is in such little unimportant ways, you need someone you can just relax with and trust 100%. Him playing tricks on you when you already feel gullible and not so confident is kind of mean! Some might even say a bit controlling, like he's trying to make you realise your dumb and he's awesome. Maybe he is insecure? What *I* did was to try to compromise, and say that there has to be a limit, he can do it like 25% of the time, not 80% of the time. And I made sure to firmly say "STOP" when I had had enough. Good luck.
3no you're not wrong for being annoyed. if he makes jokes that you really can't stand, just ignore him. after a while, he will get the hint.
