Hi debcb, I think I would reply and try and be joking back to him about the teasing thing. Tease him back, 'so much alike? really think so? I'll show the differences later... " You seem to have good communication with your H, ask him if there was any truth behind his teasing.

I haven't followed along forever, but how do you keep putting up with his constant talking about monster? It must hurt and drive you nuts! In my case H never talks about his monster, doesn't even admit the whole thing, but if he talked about her all the time I wouldn't like that either.
