My partner keeps laughing at me....?
Find answers to your legal question.





My partner keeps laughing at me....?

anytime my partner and i are having a serious conversation, or have a small argument, he smiles and laughs, to the point i get frustrated and cry sometimes because he's being such a moron. he says sorry, and feels terrible, and says he cant help it, its a uncontolled response. why would he laugh at something serious? is he emotionally crippled, like i think? he's pretty much perfect in every other way.

i dont hink he is a moron, so dont "quote" certain bits, i think he's wonderful, except his behaviour is slightly moronic. get your hand off it......

I get stressed out sometimes when my wife gets upset and I laugh. I often have had it where I get upset or stressed to the point where I want to cry or scream or explode, and instead I just laugh. I smirk more...not like a happy smile...which makes people even more upset sometimes.

I guess that sometimes I just think that some arguments are ridiculous, but I do empathize with my wife for getting so upset...but I do not see the validity in her argument. I care that she is upset, I do not see how she could possibly be upset, and I am flattered that she cares so much about me to be so irrationally upset...it is a conundrum that just makes me laugh sometimes. It does not mean I am happy or insensitive though.

If you're comfortable enough to be in a relationship with him, you should be comfortable enough with him to discuss how his reactions to you when you are upset make the situation worse. I have to tell you though, if you're being honest when you say that he's perfect in every other way, this may be one of those things that you just need to get over.

Its called control. He is controlling you.

Man this happens to me ALL the time. Whenver I get nervous or scared, I laugh. I seriously cant help it. And I dont mean ANYTHING by it. I feel awful when it happens, but still cant stop it most of the time. I have upset many people by this, and it is very frustrating for me and the people involved. Try and give him the benefit of the doubt, and attempt to continue the conversation.

Be careful of him. You say that he is perfect otherwise.

It sounds like he does not respect you and therefore what is serious to you is meaningless to him. If this is the case, then he could easily become more and more abusive and even violent.

Take care,
Troy

It sounds to me as though he is uncomfortable talking about difficult things, and he is using this laugh to stop you from talking. If he continues to do this behavior when you are trying to solve a relationship issue, then you should write him a letter and tell him how you feel.
And if the behavior continues still...tell him to grow up and stop, or your gone...
Good luck

it's a nervous response a nervous laugh some have it some don't

I find when i get nervous about something i get shy. Sometimes i will laugh sometimes i won't just depends on what i am nervous about.

he's not emotionally crippled that's just how he reacts to nervousness.

Nobody's Perfect we all have our little Quirks and idiocinrices that just happens to be one of his

Maybe that’s his way of saying that he doesn’t agree with you or that he finds what you are saying silly.

Either way you aren’t really solving anything by crying. I think that makes you the emotionally cripple one. The next time he’s doing it, say ‘you’re laughing again please stop’ so that he can correct himself when its happening

its a nervous laugh. some people get it some people don't!

perfect? obliviously he doesn't care about your feelings.


mystic_whispers_of_my_soul
hard to say without more detail but maybe it's just a nervous reaction? I myself react with laughter when I am nervous, however inappropriate it is to laugh sometimes. Maybe suggest instead of actual talking maybe start off writing things down....try to eliminate the stress of the situation and in turn eliminate his nervousness......maybe write each other a short letter stating your feelings , opinions etc on whatever is being discussed and then go from there and make a point to end the discussion on a positive note...plan a date or watch a movie together, play a game, try something new etc etc.

It's nerves of not knowing what to say or the fear of saying the wrong thing!
He feels your pain so instead of cry he laughs!

maybe you get really cute when your mad, and he can't help it seeing his partner fussing at him


Well Duh!!
first of all,u have 2 realize that no body is perfect.Try to " cut him some slack"
However if this really annoys u tell him how u really feel and try to find a solution
i'm sure he's a great guy and doesn't mean to hurt ur feelings
and as some say " if u can't beat them, join them"

Good luck and SMILE!!

my fiance sometimes does the same thing...mostly when he is drinking. if thats the case, stay aways from serious converstaions while he is drinking. otherwise, really let him know that you cannot take his desregard for your emotions. or show him what it feels like and start to laugh at him,.

If this is a problem, you are lucky to have it.

Lots of woman ask the question why does my partner keep beating me.

If he is as you say, "pretty much perfect in every other way", see how fortunate you are.

Just let him know you find it hurtful and ask him to please try to work on it. Then let it go. It's likely just a nervous response.

It's not his fault. It's a nervous thing. I do it sometimes, most the times i start to smile. Then i cry. It's just how it goes. Try and understand he realllly can't help it.

Ok, first of all, name-calling ("he's being such a moron"), is a pretty immature way to handle your problems and is definitely not going to help the situation. If you genuinely think that this man is a moron and "emotionally crippled," you shouldn't be with him in the first place.

Some people just laugh at inappropriate times. It can be a nervous response and doesn't indicate some deep-seeded problem. It's also very possible that you act very childish when you're angry, and he might not be able to keep from laughing at you.

hes just trying to break the tension, maybe your cute when you get mad!


Ross
Haha...that's too funny. Lighten up! =] You say he's perfect in every other way? Let the small stuff go, I bet it's not that he's trying to disrespect you, it's just something serious can be really awkward, maybe he's just trying to break the ice and be happy XP Besides, have you ever seen people be really serious? It's funny. Look at your face the next time you're really upset and then laugh at yourself (that's not meant to be mean) it's just good for the soul =]

It's a nervous reaction. I have a "nervous laugh" too when in a very compromising or embarrassing or slightly uncomfortable situation. If he's the type that dodges his true feelings or serious issues, it's just a "reflex". Obviously, he knows it bothers you and has apologized. Perhaps you should approach serious topics via emails or letters, where he can think about what he sees, and you won't have to see him laughing...even if it is out of a nervous habit.

Sometimes when something is serious or sad some ppl dont know what else to do so they laugh.


crystal_raindrop
Some people laugh and get giddy when they're nervous or uncomfortable, maybe when you're sitting down with him to talk seriously, he just gets nervous.. everyone respons differently, but just tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable and it makes you have trouble talking to him and coming to him about things now, see if he can "work" on stopping that and making that habit disappear.
