Okay, I have identified five things I am going to work on;
1) Support those that matter to me, and have their back. I realized I would question my husband when he would say things that embarrassed me in front of others, when I felt like other people could tell that he was exaggerating. How horrible! I should always have his back, no matter what. Same thing goes for my family and friends. I should never say anything negative about them to others.
Hold up there, Mary. Why is it ok for your H to embarrass you in public? Did he really say hurtful things, or were you just overly sensitive?
I agree with not speaking negatively about H in public, but that doesn't rule out speaking with him in private and telling him you were embarrassed.
