MF:

I'm not sure how to take that post. It doesn't really sound like you, so I'll chalk it up to travel/sleep deprivation/sickness stress.

I guess the one thing I would comment on are the "zingers" your H would make. After reading some of your thread, it seems your H would either make derogatory remarks about how you looked (after you spent some time to look nice) or just wouldn't say anything at all. He wouldn't compliment you, even when pressed by your friends.

That's just pure jackass. I can understand why he would be a whiny baby about you at a gathering. He goes and acts like a tool by saying something insensitive about how you look, right before a party, and you shake it off and enjoy yourself anyway. It sounds like he has some major self-esteem issues, if he has to tear you down to make himself feel good (or perhaps try and keep you in line).

I would give as much thought to why it bothered him (about you making friends), as I would to where belly button lint comes from.
