I have been with my husband for more than a decade. Our friends compare us to Gomez and Morticia - and I always did too.
Recently, I was telling him about a quote I heard about why people who have abandonment issues, like me, are drawn to villains over heroes: “A hero will sacrifice you for the world. A villain will sacrifice the world for you.”
I said, jokingly: “You would sacrifice me for the world, wouldn’t you?” He admitted he would. I wish I hadn’t said anything at all. It’s hard to explain why I felt hurt, but I did. And weirdly alone.
I said: “You know you can’t be Gomez in that case? He would burn the world for Morticia.” He just made a kind of “aww” sound and went about his day.
Again, I feel weirdly sad and hurt. I thought we were on the same page.

ReplySounds like he wasn't interested in the conversation as much as you. Why did it need a conversation? You prompted his initial answer and then framed the next one in a similar fashion. Look up the difference between closed and open questions. You seem to want particular answers but we're human. He gave his answer based on his own beliefs and values and being honest you're asking silly hypothetical questions because of your insecurity. What did you want him to say to your follow up question? Is he supposed to feel guilty? Sounds like he avoided a potential fight.
Replyi think that maybe he was just joking, so i wouldnt think to much about it. but if it really bothers you, you should maybe talk to him about how it made you feel.
