Partner makes me feel ugly

I am coming to terms with leaving, but sometimes I second guess myself.

AIBU, one of my children is going through a teenage phase and sometimes her emotions get the better of her. She was being spiteful one day and said
”you’re ugly even dad thinks so” and when I recounted this to my partner he just laughed. Nothing more.

A week later I came home with a new haircut and child said I looked weird (I know I know but hormones are coming in and I try to let it go) but again, he didn’t say anything he just laughed and went back to his computer.

we haven’t had sexual relations in years and he’s not very loving to me at all in any other way but I’m so full of self doubt.

is this normal? Am I being sensitive?

he’s very loving towards our kids, tells them they are beautiful etc so it’s not as if he’s just that way sigh

Not normal OP, I’m slightly shrek like, DH would never say anything negative about my appearance and DD would be brought up short of she ever did either.

I think perhaps move by yourself initially at least, give yourself some breathing space to just be.

I know this is an old thread but any updates @WhyWhyY- hope you’re doing okay!

Your dd will use your relationship with your dp as the blueprint for her relationships and she will think this is normal. Leave and she her that there is a different way. That you shouldn’t be disrespectful to your partner (or anyone for that matter), and that she shouldn’t accept either treating someone like this or being treated like this. She’s already started to mirror her father’s behaviour.
