Public Criticism and Mockery
Making sarcastic jokes or pointing out your husband's flaws in front of friends, family, or children.
A husband's sense of self-worth is deeply tied to his wife's respect. Demeaning him in front of others destroys his confidence, deeply wounds his ego, and erodes the safety of the relationship.
What this looks like
Interrupting him while he is telling a story to friends to correct a minor, insignificant detail.
Joining in when other women are complaining about their husbands' annoying habits.
Making a sarcastic joke about a mistake he made at home while having dinner with extended family.
