Should I be upset my husband did this?

I am pregnant so I could be overdramatic but yesterday I made some food for my husband and gave it to him while he was playing playstation. He told me that it could do with a bit more salt. I don't mind critique. In fact I always ask for it. Problem was that he had his mic on while playing playstation and all his friends and his cousin could hear this conversation. My husband went to get some salt and I assume one of his friends on the other end said something along the lines of "is the food bad?". I could hear but I just heard my husband say "it's nice, it could just do with more salt. I just felt a little upset and I don't know if I'm making a big deal

@LateButNotTooLate If you don't ever want to hear any constructive criticism especially from someone who is as close as your spouse then that leaves you being stubborn and thinking everything you do is good and you don't have anything to improve. I cook food and I would definitely ask my husband or my mum 'Hey do you like it?' Is there anything else that may improve this dish. And when I get feedback and make the dish a second time I improve and become a better cook. I think you missed the point of the post. There's a difference between receiving feedback in private Vs in public with other people listening.

@Babadook76 Most people are agreeing that he wasn't out of order for the salt issue, which is what this post was about. A lot of people are trying to say he was out of order for either gaming or not making me food or eating with me etc. Which is irrelevant

What did you want from this post OP, because it seems like you're criticising the ones that were actually supporting you for not knowing how amazing your relationship actually is, and how cool you are with the scenario that you started the thread to discuss ?

Obviously its your life and you can live it how you feel best.

You’re still not making sense op. You’ve repeated several times how much you apparently love criticism, and even had a little dig at those who don’t. But you’ve come onto an online forum terribly upset, and written a thread about how offended you are that you oh made such an awful comment as to suggest your cooking could use a little more salt. And you’re disagreeing with anyone who agrees with you. I’m not sure what you’re looking for people to say
