Oh dear, a size 8 to 10 is a pretty normal range, certainly not heavy. It does sound like he is trying to build himself up by tearing you down especially doing this in front of others or like he thinks he is asserting himself? The stuck with his sorry butt, kind of hits a chord with me, my ex used that, you're stuck, line all the time. At first it seemed like a kind of cute way of getting reassurance but it turned into a negative as his health deteriorated and he would come up with scenarios, "what will you do when I'm in a wheel chair and have dementia and don't know who you are anymore?" and some point he'd throw in the, you're stuck, bit. It got old fast.
Have you tried just sitting him down to ask, what the heck he thinks he's doing, acting like this? This belittling you and cutting you down isn't entirely new behavior. He needs to understand that if he wants to keep you in his life, it has to stop. You deserve better. I've been through some of this rollercoaster emotional treatment - it's not easy. Does he have a really negative view of himself? Could he be trying to fullfill a script he has in his mind that you will leave him, that he doesn't deserve you? Men (and women) with that script set up are awfully difficult to cope with because they will do what it takes to make you leave. There is a belief that they aren't good enough, therefore if you are willing to be with them, there must be something wrong with you. Kind of hard to get around.
Do something good for yourself. You are a sweetie and deserve it!

I think he is afraid to be happy he wants it but to afraid to actually go after it and get it. To afraid he will get it and lose it. To afraid he can't maintain it and take the super highs and sometimes the super lowers so he just feels low to mid level high.
