To think my husband was a dick.

I'm really low at the moment because of my body. My husband knows this. Ever since we had our DC, I've hated my body. I basically put on too much when pregnant and I've struggled to shift it. I was used to being quite effortlessly slim beforehand and it's just really affected me. I've been in tears to him about this before, recently as well.

Anyway, his ex was here last night just briefly to drop off their child and he came in and said X has lost some weight, she's looking really good.

I KNOW it's probably petty but I think why the fuck would you say that? Yeah okay she's lost weight and looks good but why say that to me?

He's conscious about his hair, I wouldn't say 'oh my exes full head of hair looks great', even if I thought it I'd have the awareness to not mention it to him because I know it's a sore point and the last person he probably wants to hear about looking great in an area he's conscious about is my ex.

AIBU for thinking he was being an insensitive dick? Even if unwittingly.

He's said things to me before, I've joined the gym and have started a diet recently and if I eat anything remotely unhealthy he'll always say something. Just a little comment but enough to make me feel shit and like I can't have anything. He says it's supportive but it doesn't feel it.

Unless he was doing it so you'd get competitive and so would motivate you to lose weih0ght? Or else he's a total dick.

Although actually his policing your food intake makes him sound less of an insensitive dick and more of a nasty bastard tbh.

This.

Watch him and be wary.

He's a tosser.

Next time you see your ex? “Ooh - ex has had a fantastic hair cut. It looks really thick and shiny.”
