Husband’s comment

(Background info - we received the link to photos from a family wedding (his side) yesterday. I hadn’t looked at them yet ).

Earlier this evening, DH and I were sat in our living room on our own. I was scrolling through the news when I saw an article about the daughter of DH’s favourite musician. I commented that she looks totally different to last I saw her and she’s aged a lot, looks like her dad.

DH then said “just wait till you see the photo of you from the wedding”. I rushed to the pictures and found the worst photo of me ever. Saddest bit is I felt lovely on the day, had a great time, and I’m laughing in the photo.

I’m really hurt and told him so. He’s angry at me for being upset at his comment.

I’m upset that he’s obviously seen the photo and thought ‘Christ, my wife looks shit’, then hours later, decided to deliberately hurt me and make me feel ugly because I made a vaguely offhand comment about the daughter of his idol in the privacy of our own home. He doesn’t get it. AIBU?

But surely he’s saying it’s a bad photo? Not that it represents what you really look like? We all have those photos snapped just at the wrong moment when we look awful!

It is objectively a bad photo but what’s upset me is rather than mentioning it when he saw it, he’s saved it in his memory and then hurt me with it hours after when we weren’t talking about the wedding photos. Like he wanted to punish me for commenting negatively about another woman.
