Is this a silly reason to feel disappointed?

I will try to keep this short. I have always seen my husband as a jewel, even with his imperfections and everything. Those things didn't deter the way I saw him.

Some days ago we went out with friends and amidst a conversation he said twice, and very sure of what he was saying that "absolutely no one is a jewel".

He said it like a truth written on stone. And it actually made me sad and hurt because well... Seems like he looks at me from a very different light than the one I used to see him.

And I guess that if my imperfections disqualify me from being seen as "a jewel", then I guess I should also see him from a different light as well.

This might sound stupid, I know... But it really caught me off guard. It put in perspective how much I accepted his flaws and still put him in a high pedestal because his good things almost made the bad ones non existent, or at least for me.

Edit: I have never told him he's a jewel as though he was perfect. Most of our discussions have been because of stupid shit he's done to me and which i never let just pass. I meant a jewel in the sense that I see and appreciate the value of the good things he has. I acknowledge flaws and accept them because perfection is simply unnatural and impossible to achieve.

I don't expect him to be perfect. None of us will ever be.
