I took my girlfriend and friend out to dinner.
Friend says, “I love living with someone.”
Turning to my girlfriend, she asks, “how do you feel?”
My girlfriend looks at me and then replies, “it’s…fine.”
What do you feel is an appropriate response?
I sat down with her later and tried to talk about it, but she said she was joking. I just don’t get the joke.
I would put a lot more weight on her choice to live with you (pretty good indication she likes you quite a bit) than on a quip she made in a single conversation. It’s very hard to make a relationship work if small things like this can destabilize things to the extent that you’re questioning marriage! Try to measure your relationship by zooming out a bit more and considering whether she seems to enjoy your company etc. If you’re very upset save the assessing for a time where you’re calmer and focus on something else for awhile.
