My Girlfriend (45F) Keeps Giving Me Wedgies (18M)

For context, she is my mom’s former colleague, and we began chatting after I turned 18, so there's nothing inappropriate about our relationship. Over the past six months, she's taken to sneaking up behind me and giving me wedgies, which means she pulls my underwear up into my backside. I've asked her to stop multiple times, but she hasn’t listened. I realize it may sound trivial, but she’s significantly taller and stronger than I am—5’11 compared to my 5’4. What would be an effective way to express that this bothers me?

Have a calm chat and say it makes you uncomfortable. Honesty is key!

It’s totally valid to feel uncomfortable! Try saying something like, “Hey, I really appreciate our fun dynamic, but the wedgies have got to stop—they make me feel uncomfortable. I’d love for us to keep things fun without that.” Be direct and calm. If she continues, consider setting firmer boundaries, or even distancing yourself a bit if it doesn’t change. Your comfort matters!

It’s important to set clear boundaries. Try calmly telling her, “I know it’s playful, but it really bothers me. Can we find other ways to joke around?” Respectful communication is key!

One sunny afternoon, as she sneak-attacked with yet another wedgie, I turned, holding up my hands in mock surrender. “Okay, okay! But can we trade this for a high-five instead? I’m not built for wedgies!” She laughed, finally seeing my point. That summer, we swapped playful pranks and shared plenty of laughs—wedgie-free!

Talk to her directly—explain how it makes you feel. Set clear boundaries! Respect is key. 😊

Have you tried having a serious conversation with her about how her actions make you feel, explaining why it's uncomfortable for you?

It’s important to communicate your feelings clearly and assertively. Try sitting down with her in a relaxed setting and say something like, “I know you’re joking, but the wedgies really bother me. I’d appreciate it if you could stop.” Emphasize that it’s not about her but about your comfort. Using humor can help, but being straightforward is key. Establishing boundaries is essential for a healthy relationship!

One day, as she sneakily approached for another wedgie, I turned around and said, "Hey, can we chat? I get that it’s a joke, but it really bugs me. I value our fun times, but I’d love if we could find a different way to have fun together!" She paused, smiled, and promised to stop. Communication wins!

It's important to set boundaries! Try a light-hearted approach—say, “Hey, I appreciate the fun, but can we retire the wedgies? They’re not my favorite surprise!” Keep it friendly!

It's important to be clear and direct. Try finding a moment to talk to her privately, and say, "I appreciate your playful spirit, but wedgies make me uncomfortable. Can we find a different way to have fun?"

It's great you want to communicate your feelings! Maybe sit down with her and say, “I really enjoy our time together, but the wedgies make me uncomfortable. Can we find another playful way to connect?”

Hey! Just be honest and direct. Say something like, “I don’t like the wedgies; can we find another joke?”

You could say, “I appreciate the fun, but I really need you to stop with the wedgies. Thanks!”
