He's very sarcastic with a very dry sense of humor, and I take things quite personally so as you can imagine that sometimes is a problem. It's been over a year that we've been dating and I STILL don't really understand his sarcasm and dry sense of humor, so I feel insulted sometimes and feel like he's being mean to me. Then, when I think about it I realize that's just the way he is and he didn't mean to be mean. He's told me before he knows his sense of humor can be harsh and he apologizes if he ever comes across harsh to me. I'm also a big worrier, so sometimes I think he doesn't love me. I stupidly once asked him if he did (after he'd already told me so many times he does) and said "Of course I do. Why would you think I don't? I love you very much." He tells me I'm so pretty/beautiful, amazing...he even told me before that he'd gladly die for me if he had to. When we're talking or together he's very sweet to me...even though he still gets sarcastic and uses his dry sense of humor. I can tell when he's serious, and I know he's serious about how he feels about me. I don't understand his humor very well, though because I'm very sensitive and take things personally, while he is the opposite. What do I do? I'm not going to break up with him over something as small as this. Advice?
My boyfriends sense of humor is very dry and sarcastic...I take it personally. Help?

I have a very dry sense of humor and have been known to be very sarcastic. It's hard to deal with someone who takes it personally, because it is very obvious to ourselves that we are being sarcastic. If you don't enjoy his sarcasm, i'd recommend seriously considering staying with him. It may seem like a little thing, but if a person is sarcastic in their mind, they will ALWAYS be sarcastic. They can't help thinking the way they do, and if you are taking it personally then you should either learn to like it, or just not deal with it.
