Hi reddit.. I need some help to figure out if this is normal or if I'm just being too sensitive. Basically, we've been together for 2 and a half years, lived together for the past 6 months. Since the beginning of our relationship, he used to hurt me physically every now and then out of fun/jokes, and I guess I didn't look much into it. It increased in frequency as our relationship progressed, and since moving in together in the past 6 months this happens on a daily basis. For example, he will do things such as lightly pinch me, punch, bite, drag or push me around. It's pretty "light" I suppose, but sometimes it does hurt a bit. I have sometimes asked him to stop the behaviour, but he just brushes it off and reiterates that it's just for fun. He also jokes about hurting me, but without actually physically doing it. Lately I just can't get my head around it... is this normal for a significant other to joke like this? Am I just being overly sensitive or overthinking it since we've moved in together? We have a great relationship otherwise and usually never get into serious arguments. I just need a second opinion.... thanks in advance everyone!

Boyfriend of 2.5 years keeps hurting me almost daily and joking about it. Is this normal? Or is it
