Husband calling me names infront of people

My husband and I are complete opposites as in I'm introverted, he is an extrovert.

I really really liked when I met him how different we were. I thought we complimented each other but over the years these differences are now are not complimenting each other and instead we are clashing and I'm starting to get nervous about going out with him as he is now starting to swear about me and in public.

I feel embarrassed or nervous because anything slightly not to his satisfaction will turn into him swearing in a loud voice. We have 2 kids together and we adore our children but I am not enjoying our marriage.

I've confronted him about not shouting in public but he keeps saying he doesn't have a filter and he cannot help it.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

He can help it, nobody should humiliate someone in front of others (or at all really). Your husband needs to learn some self control, he is embarrassing himself and his audience as well as you.

Make this a deal breaker! If you don't, he'll carry on doing it.

My ex husband referred to me as his "First Wife" to everyone. He thought it was funny. It actually reflected badly on him and embarrassed me. Ironically it became true. Now I'm with someone kind and respectful I can see what an overconfident loudmouth bully he was.
Sorry. This must have been rubbish for you but it did make me smirk that it became a self fulfilling prophecy for him. What a prat. It great you've found somebody worthy!

This is nothing at all to do with opposing personality types, this is a man who patently has no respect for you & who chooses to abuse you in public.
Your self esteem has been worn down to such an extent, you fail to see him for who he is.

You should consider doing 'The Freedom Programme' - it will help you understand your position.

I'm amazed that he thinks he can explain it away as being something he can't help!!

As pp have said, if he doesn't do it to other people then he is choosing to do it to only you. It is intentional. He intentionally swears loudly at you in public.

How much respect do you think he has for you? Why would you want to stay with this man? He sounds vile. I'll bet the people who see this happening have a very low view of him.

"Oi Mr Small Penis, shut the fuck up!" , Tell him you don't have a filter either.
