What does that mean?

I don't post here often, but hubs said something to me the other night, and I'm not sure how to take it.

We spend our weekends at a marina with friends from all over the place. Saturday, we had a live band that was really good and I danced most of the evening. Sunday we went to a local "Key West" type bar, and both places I met lots of "friends of friends" that also came up for the weekend.

I had more than a couple gentlemen compliment me, saying what a lucky hubs I have and what not. It was a fun weekend. So tongue and cheek Sunday night I said to hubs, "ya know, you're a pretty lucky guy to have me because I got a few nice compliments in the last couple of days".

He blew it off and said it's only because I FLAUNT it more now than I did before since I lost some weight. I said "I FLAUNT?"

I don't feel like I flaunt, and that word just bothers me, like it implies that I was seeking out the attention. I like to dance, have a good time, meet people, and I can say that I'm much more confident than I was 40+ lbs heavier, but good grief, I still have a ways to go. I'm just more comfortable in my skin now. Am I being too sensitive, because I'm still thinking about it 2 days later? And darn it, it's bugging me that he said that.

Confidence is sexy.... Men notice.

It doesn't sound like he was upset about what he called "flaunting it". Maybe he's really proud of you and the word "flaunt" was just poorly chosen?

He's a jerk for saying that to you. He should be damn proud of his wife.

I agree he should be robin breasted proud. He probably is, and just didn't have the words to express it properly. You should tell him his word choice bothered you.
