Can't tell if I'm being oversensitive or not so hoped someone on the outside of this situation could set me right.
My DH gets annoyed if I don't tell him what's bugging me (if something is bugging me). So I do try to open up & he can give good advice/comfort etc but then he has a habit of saying 'what are you?...a numpty/think too much etc.'..
It's not meant to be a put down (I don't think) and the tone is never malicious but it feels like he's trivialising whatever's upset me (and i'm not that easily upset). It's also making me feel like i'm some crazy woman who's always overreacting.
Am thinking of saying something along the lines of 'I appreciate you mean well etc. but it's affecting my confidence'. AIBU?
I just don't like the way i'm steadily growing to feel so defensive & dislike him for it
