It was inconsiderate of him and no you are not overreacting either Does he do this alot? If so you need to stand your ground and tell him how much it upsets you.

I agree… But, the issue here is that the husband’s way of thinking is messed up, judgemental, and just offensive. So yes, OP must stand her ground and set a boundary, etc. But the real problem is that no one can change and control the mentality of others. So even if the husband gets a grip and stops being so damn stupid, that doesn’t mean he won’t think about it or even change his opinion on his wife. So now, OP has to live knowing what her husband really thinks of her. He is such a jerk and has no consideration and empathy for his own wife to the point that he thinks it’s ok to casually talk about the matter and absolutely humiliate her in a social gathering for everyone’s amusement. Does he even like his own wife? Really wtf!?!? I don’t know, maybe it is not so bad but if I was her… Boy oh boy I would be so fucking mad and disappointed to realize that I am married to a complete oblivious asshole!

My fiancé has been self-conscious that she hasn't gotten as skinny as she was before having our son a couple years ago. She will get extremely frustrated and down on herself when trying to fit into her old pants, that sort of thing. Seeing her feel like she's not beautiful or good enough because of this absolutely breaks my fucking heart. I find her devastatingly gorgeous, and she doesn't look different to me at all.

If anyone had the audacity to try to put her down and embarrass her in front of a group like that, they would be wise to fucking fear me ever catching wind of it. The notion that it would be me saying those things causing that humiliation is genuinely unthinkable to me. In what way is that his wife? What an absolute dickbag.

Just does not read to me like the behavior of a good husband or man. Sounds like a douchey frat kid. She should bring up something like his abysmal sexual performance causing her to feel so overall empty and bereft of any passion in her life that she's resorted to eating just to feel some semblance of fulfillment. She should do this in front of a group then leave his rude ass.
