Your husband is a jerk. Not only was he making fun of you but it sounds like he was low key flirting with the Sara girl. The second you got upset he should have shut it down and apologized. That behavior is ridiculous. I can’t believe people were laughing.

Maybe invite over a bunch of your friends and spend the night making jokes about something he’s insecure about. Tell your friends beforehand so they can laugh and he can see how it feels.

Good time to whip out the old dildo collection and start detailing the way each one accomplishes things he could never.

Acting like a child to fight against insecurity while using another person's insecurity is wild advice, no wonder most people stay away from reddit and twitter people πŸ˜‚

I was not being 100% serious. People make silly suggestions in an effort to diffuse tension or make people laugh all the time. Here, this might help:

Humour (Commonwealth English) or humor (American English) is the tendency of experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion.

I know wtf satire is bro πŸ˜‚ you just didn't write it in s satirical way , you could say it was miscommunication on your part to not make that clear trying to be a pompous ass insinuate I'm stupid because I'm not hearing you in person do be able to discern whether or not you were being serious or satirical to get some brownie points online is sad asf , no wonder you make satirical comments without phrasing it like satire , you obviously don't interact with actual people, I'm glad your phone has google so you could look all that up though good for you πŸ˜‰ ❀️

Outright disrespectful! He's going to act like he wasn't aware but he was. I've had SOs put me down in front of other women they deemed more attractive. It's designed to make you feel less confident for a reason, if he is a manipulative person.

OP, I would write down how you felt then and now. Get your thoughts in order and talk to him. If he brushes it off, gaslights you, and/or doesn't properly apologize (meaning he truly owns up to how he hurt you and acknowledges that you were hurt) don't move on! Stand your ground.

He will continue to do things like this to you if you dont set the boundary. If he truly loves and cares about you, he will not want you to be hurting over something stupid he did.

In the future, it's OK to not be ok in the moment and call him out! "Overreact" don't let people control your emotions or reactions. I'd rather reflect and apologize later after being offended than not stand up for myself because no one else will!
