He didn't! Her father, Saul, gave her to another man, Paltiel, after she helped David to flee his jealous rage. David became a brigand, and neither returned nor tried to get Michal back - from his point of view it had been a political marriage (though the Bible records that she loved him passionately), and he regarded her as an encumbrance.
For a number of years she lived with Paltiel as her husband, and it appears that they were happy - The Bible records that he followed her on foot, crying, when David sent Abner and a force of soldiers to get her back. This may be where you have got the idea that he gave her to Abner.
Again it was a political move - Saul was dead, and having the daughter of the late King as part of his harem strengthened David's claim to the throne. Poor Michal was kept for her political value - the Bible records that she had no children to the day she died, suggesting that David never bothered with her, saving his affections for his other seven wives and numerous concubines.

Who was especially upset over Michal's return to David?
"But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Layish, who was from Gallim." (1 Sam 25:44) "Then David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying: "Give me my wife Michal, to whom I became engaged for 100 foreskins of the Philistines." So Ish-bosheth sent to take her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish. But her husband kept walking with her, weeping as he followed her as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him: "Go, return!" At that he returned." (2 Sam 3:14-16)
Was David's marriage to michal prearragned?
Technically yes. Saul was trying to marry one of his daughters to David so he could somehow have an advantage over him and somehow that would make the Philistines kill him... (there is no clear reason). David turned down Saul's first daughter, Merab, after he tried to arrange a marriage for them. Saul then figured out that Michal was in LOVE with David, and again tried to have them married. David turned him down again, but Saul wasn't going to give up so easily. He was still trying to get David killed by the Philistines, so he said that David could marry Michal if he could get the foreskins (please don't ask what that is) of a hundred Philistines. So David was finally satisfied with this (an issue with pride and humbleness) and did just that. Only he killed 200 Philistines and brought back 200 foreskins to Saul (yummy). Then David and Michal were married. It said David married Michal to become the king's (Saul's) son-in-law, but it also mentions how much Michal loved David. 1 Samuel 18:27-28 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented the full number to the king so that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage. When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David," So yeah it was prearranged. Though I feel as though Michal may have asked to marry David after he turned down Merab.

What was the purpose of David's army collecting foreskins of his enemies to bring to Saul?
King Saul was jealous of David, but Saul offered his daughter, Michal to David as a wife. David said he was too poor to give a dowry to Saul for his daughter, but Saul said he wanted no dowry, but wanted David to avenge him (Saul) upon the Philistines by bringing 100 foreskins of the enemy back to him. But Saul's motive was not what he said, but rather he wanted David to engage in battle with the Philistines in hopes that David would be killed.

Why is the distance between the bases on a major league baseball diamond 90 feet?
Because Abner Doubleday was a genius! I don't think there was any rationalization ever give when the first 90-foot diamond was laid out, though I wouldn't be surprised to learn it had something to do with the size of the field he was using at the time.
