Really upset!

Not always, and while it isn't "new" per se, it has been going on for a few months now. The thing that drives me nut is how he is afraid to open up. Knowing his family history I can see why, but shee****'s so frustrating.

It's the Y (chromosome) or, possibly, testosterone poisoning.  Most men have it.  Most men just don't notice changes.  He's most likely used to you at your starting weight, and isn't that interested in your progress.  You're going to be changing.  Many men are not comfortable with change.  What if you start looking all sexy and hot and decide that you don't want him any more?  It could be really scary for him.  Plus it's even scarier that he doesn't know that acting like a jerk will just make it worse.  Cut him some slack, expect him to say nothing.  If he still gets huffy and acts like an ass, cut him loose.

Thinking on your situation, and personalizing it, my husband made no comments On my body size when I was (still am) overweight. Given that, I think it makes sense that his comments would remain few and far between with respect to my smaller body. The size of my body has never been a topic of conversation for him, or a focal point, so why would it suddenly become one? Maybe it's the same with your husband? Maybe he's able to see beyond the "physical" you?

Now, given that you're clearly fishing, he could throw you a bone and mention how lovely you look, but unless you've posted other things with respect to your marriage, I think it's a little alarmist and out of line to start forewarning you about an impending divorce.

Are you being a little sensitive? Maybe. As for the whole manicure thing, it sounds like your husband was staying true to form in balking about you spending money on a manicure, given that his nickname is "cheapass", lol. I understand the inclination, but try not to seek external validation. And get you your manicure!
