[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came downstairs ready to go to a friend’s bbq with DH and our two DC. When DH saw me he flipped out. I was wearing a yellow JCREW off the shoulder top and jeans. He told me I looked like an insect because of the top being bright yellow, and said to our boys, “doesn’t mom look like a bumble bee”. He asked me to change and I said no. He said he would go without me then, which he did (and took the kids).

He called me several times during the bbq and I didn’t answer. I think he feels bad now. I left the house so I wasn’t home when he got back. What would you do? [/quote]

He sounds borderline abusive (at least a bully, saying things meant to make you feel bad) and controlling (I can imagine my husband either kindly, sensitively telling me he didn’t like my outfit or something more subtle like giving a look) but he would never tell me not to wear something or that he wouldn’t go somewhere w me unless I changed. That is way the top. It’s disrespectful, mean, and a bad example for your kids too. You wouldn’t want your kids to become people who make fun of others’ based on their appearance…that’s bullying behavior [/quote]
