Hi, I'm dating my partner for over a year and we're happy together.One night we were with friends and my bf asked one of his friends who is married and has the same job as my bf, how he has a balance in his life while working so much,(keep in mind that my bf works in a company). His friend aswered that it's challenging but the secret is to find a partner who has a similar job and can be a working partner with you while of course she's capable of raising 4 kids (they have 4 kids), while being successful in her job.In a way he suggested to find a woman exactly like his wife.So, the rest of the guys there laughed and my partner said "Where do i get one of those?" and then they laughed again.
Now I know that my partner has a dry sense of humour and I hope what he meant was that it's not easy for everybody to find such a perfect type of partner! Should I worry? What do you think?

cant believe you've posted this in truth Tina I'm certain your fine he won't dump you over that! Lol
As you said he has a dry/darker humour ( is he British hehehe ) he's just jokingly agreeing with his mate that's all my love
I think he was joking...I have a dry sense of humor as well. Perhaps he did not realize that you would be sensitive about his comment.
(Although I have that kind of humor, I too have been very sensitive to comments by men that suggest I am not what they want. I understand in other words how that made you feel.)

No. Don't worry. His friend put him in an awkward spot in front of his friends, so he had to make the best of it. Granted, he could have come up with a better answer if he'd thought about it, but he didn't. I don't know if it's worth mentioning to him that you'd appreciate it if next time, he didn't throw you under the bus just to get through an awkward moment (he could have said, "Tina has her own charms", or something of that nature). If this was a one-time occurrence, I wouldn't bother. If it becomes a pattern, then speak up.
I am a newly wed of two months and my husband and I are both friends with a guy who has been married to his wife for 20 years. When discussing my 1993 volvo, he always jokes, "Where were you THEN?!" just to imply that it is cool that I still rock an old Volvo. Some things are just joking around and not a serious, "Let's run away together" or in your case a serious, "Let me find a new girlfriend to become my work partner"
You have been with him for a year and you can't ask him? That seems very shaky. You should be able to have open honest discussions without any fear or drama.
On the other hand it seems like a very innocuous remark that is routinely made by many people that I have heard, and that you are looking for a reason to get upset. Drama.
Work on your insecurity.
