Numbers 1 and 2 sound very intentionally mean to me, like he is trying to tear down her confidence.

OP, does he ever compliment you?[/quote]

It is interesting how in all examples, he is merely being honest and straightforward with her, and so I don't see how he is being intentionally mean. I think she definitely married the wrong guy for her personality type.  If my husband said that my child only said I'm the best mommy because he doesn't know any better, I would have laughed, and said that's true!  My husband did tell me my extra skin on my tummy could be fixed by diet and exercise, and I was annoyed-- because he was wrong, not that my feelings were hurt.  It is skin and there is no amount of diet or exercise getting rid of it.  I am the PP and I stand by my opinion that OP is too sensitive.  She needs to find another guy who will validate her rather than respond honestly to her.  [/quote]

DP but I think you're just wrong here - how can he be "honest and straightforward" in #5 when he's arguing back and forth with her about her own feelings?  For him to insist she was happy the dog died, when she's explicitly saying it made her sad, is not honest or straightforward.  It's gaslighting and astonishingly disrespectful in front of company.

Add on #2 - weird how when your husband told you it was fat and not loose skin, he was "wrong" but when her husband says the same exact thing he's just honest.  I see that you think OP is a weakling or something for wanting her husband to treat her kindly, but you're contradicting yourself in your rush to erase his bad behavior.[/quote]
