How to avoid getting beat from your bully friends?

my bestfriend and your “close friend” should meet up sometime…sounds like theyd get along great lol I have been friends with my girl for nine years now…we practically grew up together and pretty much live at eachothers houses…were like family. my friend does it to try to toughen me up and because she thinks its funny because I wine about it. even the man of the house has joined in on the rough play. they are just playing though…shes like a man. its her way of showing affection towards me because thats how others have always showed affection toward her…through playful punches and wrestling matches. she can take a punch a lot better than me so her called playful punches usually leave bruises but even though its obvious to everybody that I could easily put her in her place if I really wanted to I refrain from hitting her back because the punches usually get harder if I do…but truthfully it has toughened me up quite a bit. it sounds like to me that you have a case of brotherly love. has he ever given you a nugie??? lol toughen up buttercup or quit hanging out with him and lose such a close friend over your man pride…
