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?

We also have that type of relationship and had he sent me a copy of the photo with stickers etc, I’d have laughed. It’s that he only said it in response to my comment on a stranger.

I totally get it. I’d be hurt too. You commenting on a celebrity is a different thing.

People can be bonkers on here and nasty. all that dish the dirt get the dirt back rubbish.

I do look bad in the photo but I don’t generally make a habit of recalling terrible photos of my DH to draw his attention to if he makes a mildly negative comment about a total stranger.

You made a hurtful remark about someone which would be insulting to that person so you got a taste of your own medicine. It's not nice is it when the tables are turned around on you

@Dallas1989 That’s really harsh, it was a light hearted private conversation with her husband.
@peony89 agree with @Missj25
completely understand where you’re coming from.
