Public nuisance

Are your friends attractive than you ? I feel your husband doesnt like your friends coming home. Or he his trying to attract the attention of your friends. You strictly tell him not to do so, explain him the feeling that he will have when you do the same thing to him, when his friends come home.

Maybe one of your friends could turn the tables on him some day. Make him look stupid .... saying something like, "what kind of a man talks that way about his wife?"

it could be that your husband does not like to see these friends of yours coming over. if i were you, i will talk to my husband about this odd behavior of his. tell him that you are getting hurt and embarrassed by the way that he behaves and talks infront of your friends. you are not his daughter, so he'd better stop treating you like one. tell him also that, he needs to show some respect when your friends are around. after all you are only doing some clean socializing. why then is he behaving that way? clear this up with him. you might hear some surprising revelations from him once, he will succumb for a good talk with you.

Do you still love him?. If yes, you should talk to him or both of you go to psycologist. If not really, divorced him. That's a good way to release you let him go, cause that bad habit cannot be fixed.

if your husband is egoestic fellow its realy hard to change him. its realy bad to critiise any one in publically at least your better half.

He definitely shouldn't be scolding you in front of people. That could be considered verbal abuse. It seems he is trying to show he has control. You need to have a heart to heart with him and tell him how it makes you feel and if he doesn't stop, then you need to put yourself first and perhaps remove yourself permanently from that situation. My ex abused me physically and mentally. He did the same thing to me. He even beat me in front of other people. You should take this as a warning sign.
