This is often the case, but sometimes the other one is asking for it. In fact, they might even be attracted to that type - despite possible denial.  So how would you deal with the situation?  Would you put up with it, try to reduce it, or change it?

Bullying your partner is never a right thing to do its a sign of disrespect. And you will never ever lose respect to someone you really love.  It causes a lot of pain and trauma to your partner.

No, teasing and bullying is not appropriate unless the partner has morphed into a total psycho.  In that case, it's more like tough love.  However, though, there could be other ways to deal with it.  Can someone suggest some?
