Toxic or abusive

My husband and I have been together a long time. We have 2 children 14 and 7. We both have strong personalities however more and more I’ve noticed he’s very hot or very cold with me.
one minute I’m gorgeous and have a beautiful body, the next he’s making fun of the fact I have a bit of a stomach.
Yesterday I was making dinner and plating up the food in the kitchen to be taken down to the dining room. He was in the kitchen with me and he was arguing that I’d counted the plates wrong and someone was missing a plate. I kept telling him I had counted correctly! Turns out he was wrong and yet again a big deal was made out of nothing.
2 years ago during an argument he threw water over me.
It seems like everything I say or do isn’t good enough or is cause for an argument. When he’s nasty I often defend myself but in certain circumstances I keep quiet. I have a large circle of friends who have noticed his sarcastic undertones and as a result avoid coming over.
I just can’t work out why he behaves like this

Thnks for reading

I would say this is both, mental/emotional abuse for the comments about your body and toxic for the sarcasm, belittling etc.

Either way you deserve better!
