Kind of another just looking for advice.

Drop a pin.

Genuinely don't know what's going on.

Okay.

Please help.

And it's only a day old.

So very, very fresh.

It's titled, My Husband Gave Me a 5 Out of 10.

I'm Losing My Mind.

I've posted here before about my husband's terrible communication skills, how he completely shuts down after arguments, gives me the silent treatment for days, and makes me question if he's even still invested in this marriage.

A lot of the people commented that he might be emotionally withdrawing from the relationship.

Well, today, something happened that's making me wonder if they were right.

Last night at dinner, I jokingly asked my husband to rate me on a scale from 1 to 10.

I expected him to say something like, you're a 10 to me, because that's what I would have said to him.

What happened next blindsided me.

He looked at me seriously, scanning my face, and said, quote, right now, maybe a 5.

I must have looked shocked because he quickly followed up with, quote, but when you're naked, you're a full 10.

Fuck off.

The damage was already done.

He now insists that it was just a joke.
