Yesterday was my 57th birthday. I’ve learned to cherish each year that enriches my life, feeling free in embracing myself and not seeking others’ approval. However, my husband, Mike, clearly doesn’t understand this. For years, he’s made fun of my age, my gray hair, and the natural wrinkles that come with time. But it was at my recent birthday celebration that the depth of his contempt became truly obvious.
A Husband’s Hurtful Behavior at the Party
Throughout the party, Mike’s behavior was unbearable. He started making passive-aggressive remarks right away. I’d chosen a beautiful dress that made me feel elegant and comfortable with my age, yet Mike couldn’t stop making snide comments about my outfit and makeup. His words were sharp and hurtful, undermining my confidence.
