That IS considerate of you but stop trying so hard when it doesn't seem to be appreciated anyway.

Whenever I cook a meal, it almost always ends up with, "Well, you know what I would have done?"

Ok, how about instead of just cooking something for him..ask him if there's anything in particular he wants and is there any particular way he wants it cooked? Would this work? That way you're sure to do it *the way he would've done it*
What happens if instead of cooking, you go to his favorite restaurant/take out place..and order his favorite food? Does he find fault in that and come up with something you still did wrong or forgot to make you look like an idiot?

Makes sure he lets everyone know what idiotic thing(s) I've done lately to make himself look superior. He loves doing this in front of my family.

Sounds like a jerk.
lol.. what happens if you stand up and say "Yes, I'm an idiot. He does everything right and I'm so stupid. I wish I could be more like him."

Doesn't show affection to me at all except for the once-a-month (maybe) roll in the hay when he has to get it out of his system.

What happens if you try to initiate it instead of waiting for his once a month thing? A guy that only wants sex once a month? Any chance he's getting it somewhere else? Sorry, just a thought.

I wish I could tell myself that it's all my fault and I'm the terrible one, but I just don't feel it in my heart that it's the truth. Don't know what I can do to fix it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's not you. It's him. It sounds like you're asking us to tell you what you can magically run off and do to make him appreciate you and even if you cooked the perfect meal, said or did the right things.. he'd find something wrong and complain about it. How about marriage counseling?
