Husband is weird

He is still an amateur I am afraid!

Yes he should have responded how beautiful you & your smile are.

He owes you a steak dinner tonight for sure.

I find people who make “jokes” like OP’s husband does are often insecure and trying to cover it with odd remarks that make others feel confused/bad/uncomfortable.

Sounds like a case of a missing personality not missing teeth. Weird is right.

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Stop sending him pics or asking his opinion of clothes, it sounds like he doesn't care or is just a mean person. I have relatives like this, and have never heard them give a compliment.

Op here. This sounds like a sad way to live. I should be able to expect compliments from my husband. I don't think he's intentionally trying to hurt me.

You've been married for 10 years and he has always sucked at compliments. At this point you need to accept that he's just not that kind of person. If he is otherwise a good spouse just accept that this is his weak area and stop setting him up for failure.

Op here. Um no. That's a lazy ass excuse. He can improve. He needs to improve or I will leave.

You go girl! Take those new teeth for a spin and see if you can upgrade!

OP here: haha yeah maybe. I lost all my baby weight and my baby is 8 months old. I'm in great shape. My husband doesn't compliment my body either. I'm sure there are lots of men who would be interested and appreciate the hard work I put into taking care of myself.

Why did you marry this man and procreate with him when you don't even like him?

He claims I don't have any teeth in the picture. I'm seeing the picture and I do indeed have my teeth 😁 I guess he was trying to be funny. He does weird stuff like this a lot. I am expecting a compliment but he turns into something almost insulting. Anyone else have a spouse or friend like this? What sort of disorder is this?

He realized that you were being an attention seeker/ fishing for compliments and he didn't want to encourage or enable that type of behaviour.

Ugh, you sound insufferable.
You're going to divorce your husband after just having a baby and you think that the grass will be greener on the other side??

Just wait and see how many men will be throwing themselves at you when they find out you have a baby... it will be a rude awakening for you.

I agree with the PP, attention seeking behavior.

OP here. I don't know honestly. He says he was trying to be funny. If his jokes were geared towards other people or something like that it wouldn't be a big deal. He also called me a witch yesterday.

I think he might have a point there.

Op here. Wow thanks for reminding me why I left DC. Expecting compliments from your SPOUSE apparently makes me high maintenance. You guy's are nuts.

Haven’t read all the reps but sounds like it could be high functioning autism, depending on other factors and symptoms, of course. As a veteran HS instructor, I teach 1-3 students with HFA each year. Most of them are male, and many make jokes like this, usually in an effort to bond. Another possibility is bipolar, though less likely. My close relative has bipolar and when manic (or getting there) makes jokes that don’t really make sense or are not funny to anyone but them.

Expecting it years and a baby later is what’s nuts. He didn’t just all of a sudden become this way but married him regardless.
