When couples lose their playful banter and inside jokes

My husband and I used to have this running game of terrible puns that would make us both groan and laugh at the same time, but somewhere along the way I started finding his wordplay annoying instead of charming and now he's stopped trying altogether. We've lost this little language we had together and I don't know how to tell him I miss it without admitting I was the one who killed it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The delicate ecosystem of shared humor has been damaged by one person's changing response, creating a silence neither knows how to break.
