That’s not embarrassing anyone. Check the definition of that word embarrassing is something that causes distress. I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t think putting someone I care about (or anyone, for that matter) in distress is a funny thing to do.
What you describe is being silly which can be real funny too, and hopefully is something we all do from time to time—even those seemingly joyless persons like myself… I will ask my wife, after almost 30 years together she must have had time enough to appreciate my lack of humor and my sad company I suppose, and let you know what she thinks.
Edit:
Since I, too, am not in a joyless relationship,
I should told you how my ex and I met and sympathized while I pretended to be a (drunk) German filmmaker (I was not a filmmaker, but I was drunk), that happened in some film short movie festival decades ago, so I could get for free the drinks I had no money to pay for. I was speaking in my absolutely not German-like worst German and well, I got the drinks I wanted, and I met the girl. We chatted and we laughed quite a bit for quite some time. But not once I tried to embarrass her, if anything I was the one who should have feel embarrassed (no one believed I was German).
