Ask Amy: Navigating the Line Between Humor and Hurt in a Partner's Jokes

A reader is questioning whether they are too sensitive after being hurt by their partner's insulting jokes, and a professional comedian consulted by advice columnist Amy suggests that the partner is being annoying and not considering the reader's feelings. In another letter, a grieving pet owner suggests making donations to pet rescues in lieu of sending flowers to those mourning a pet, which Amy endorses as a thoughtful gesture. Additionally, a recommendation is made for using Meetup.com to find local groups and make new friends, which Amy confirms as a great idea.
