When your partner's stand-up comedy mines your relationship for material

My partner does stand-up about our relationship and while I agreed to it initially, I'm starting to feel like our private moments get dissected for material and I don't know if I'm being too sensitive or if there should be boundaries around what gets turned into jokes. We both believe comedy should come from real life but I'm questioning what that means for us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The boundaries between private intimacy and public performance have become unclear, creating tension around what parts of life are fair game for examination.
