This is unfortuntely causing him immense frustration and as a result he is bringing it home and taking out his anger on me, but we have identified that that is what's happening and that he needs help in dealing with this.It may not seem like a big deal, but to him it makes him dread getting up in the morning and going to work, even though the job itself isn't so bad. This guy at his work constantly 'ribs' him - jabs him in the waist and makes him jump and jolt (he is soo ticklish) and he HATES it more than anything else in the world! They work in a storeroom so are always standing up wrapping pallets of paper etc, so this can't be avoided by sitting at a desk unfortuntely!Now, we have wracked our brains to try and find ways to stop this but nothing works! He has tried ignoring him when he does this, he has tried giving him shit back, he has tried getting really angry, he has tried nicely asking/telling him to please stop - none of which works! Every single day without fail he does this many times and it is really affecting my boy. I know you may think this isn't a big deal and for him to just 'get over it' but, trust me, I have tried telling him this but he just can't let this 'roll off his back' because it gets to him so much - this guy is invading his personal space! Any creative, innovative, simple ideas would be so greatly appreciated as I hate more than anything to see my man this frustrated about this and I just want him to be happier going to the place he has to be 8 hours a day!
