I’m entitled to my opinion

[Anonymous]

Is my DH’s favorite phrase. It feels like he disagrees with me about anything and everything just to assert himself. God it’s lonely.

I'm sorry OP, I imagine that does feel very lonely. Hopefully you can cultivate other friendships so you don't feel quite so alone. It's not the same as being on the same page as your spouse, but it's something.

He's entitled to his opinion. You're entitled to judge him for his opinion.

Why do you think he's so defensive?

Give an example of a situation when he'll whip it out.

And he is entitled to judge your judgment.

Most of them are small, but they are relentless:

He doesn't like what cooking oil I use (lately I have been using ghee and coconut oil). He went so far as to tell my relatives over Christmas that he thought it was "despicable" ??

He doesn't like when I wear glossy lipstick or when I wear my hair with a wave.

He doesn't like any of my DIY projects like making sauerkraut or bone broth even though they do not impact him at all.

He doesn't like the movies I like to watch. God forbid he watch something he doesn't like once to please me!

It really is endless it feels sometimes. I want to run away.

If not, run now. This sounds awful.

To be fair a lot of those things, especially the food related things, sound pretty awful. Thankfully my spouse allows me to express how I feel about those types of things without getting all butthurt.

DH doesn’t like lip gloss either because it gets on him when we kiss. I prefer kissing him to having glossy lips so I only wear it out on the town or to work when that’s not an issue.

All that you listed is just an opinion. Why do you use oil he doesn't like?

Dump him, OP. I can tell you are a quality woman that many men would love to adore and build a real relationship with.

Sure I got that too from five little examples.

OP here - he is obviously being sarcastic.

It sounds like he's picking on her and belittling her in front of family. That sucks any way you slice it.
