Dear Queenie,
My wife has a habit of saying insulting things to me and then when I say she hurt my feelings she says it was only a joke and I’m being too sensitive.
Queenie, what’s your take on this?—Offended husband
Dear Husband,
You are not being too sensitive. Your wife is being incredibly insensitive or even downright cruel.
You might consider professional counselling to learn to deal with this problem, and if you can persuade your wife to go with you hoping that the counsellor also will tell you you are being too sensitive, perhaps she will listen when a professional tells her her behaviour is unacceptable.
