As soon as something goes wrong, does he use his make-up jokes and try to make you laugh?
What a desperate move! Men are always trying to win us back with lame jokes. Maybe this is their way to apologize.
He knows he made a mistake, but he can not find a way to smooth things over other than using his silly jokes. He wants you to laugh and forget about the problem.
Even if you are not happy with his jokes to make it up to you, this is probably his only solution at this moment, so by all means appreciate it.
Somehow, I do not think it’s that easy to hurt a loved one and then ask for forgiveness. After all, he is only a human being.
