When they laugh at their own mistakes or accidents- This is your permission to laugh along with them because they aren't too proud to admit that they've made a fool out of themselves.
When is it ok to be a joker?
When they need cheering up- Sometimes your partner might be upset about something and they need you need to lighten the mood. Judge it carefully but you might be able to get way with making light of the situation with some well-placed humour.
When it's an ongoing joke- If they are really bad at cooking or making decisions for example- something that they have always been poor at- then it's probably ok to take the mickey out of them for this. By sticking with something they have always been bad at- it won't feel like you're finding new things to have a go at them over.
When their family takes the mickey out of it too- You're on safe territory because you can judge how your partner reacts to their folks first and gauge whether they're ok with it or not.
When they take the mickey out of you- If you're both in a playful mood, you know you can get away with being a little bit cheeky with what you say to each other.
