OP. This is less “omg my xH sucks” and more “WHY do men like him feel the need to tear someone down until there’s nothing left?”[/quote]

It is so common for many men (not all) to be attracted to a woman who brims with life and joy, and then to turn around and put her down as time goes on.

Yep. I think it's even more basic than not wanting other men to be attracted to you. I think it's about male self-esteem. Some men are excited to get a "good catch," or to date someone they didn't initially think they could get. But if they don't have a solid core of self-esteem, being around another person who feels good about herself and experiences admiration is really galling. They will be persistent about taking you down a peg and trying to make you feel less, yourself.

Being with a man who has strong self-esteem and happiness in his life's achievements is a world away from being with one who is resentful that he doesn't have more, and/or who feels shi**y about himself at the core. Totally different. The former builds you up, and the latter tries his best to tear you down.
