    you say you have low self esteem - so are you taking what he says to heart? and is he being really vile or is just passing a remark that someone more self confident would ignore or laugh off?
    my grandparents spent most of their time bickering - and anyone who didnt know them would think they hated each other! but it was banter!!!!!!!!!! could it be he really does not know that his remarks cut you like a knife? or you really are not clued up to his sense of humour?
    Its just a thought - but please hun think on - if you were a bold, self confident woman - what would you say to him after a 'put-down'? I dont think you need counselling hun - I think you need Assertiveness training - that would help you and it may help your relationship and if not - then you certainly need help for your future!
