If a man is uncomfortable around his wife's friends and family isn't that sometimes a sign he's a jealous and controlling husband?

@Miram bingo

@Miram He sometimes makes fun of his wife's relatives and tries to alienate his wife from her brother.

@flipper1966 did you witness this in person?

@Miram Yup. His wife admits he doesn't feel comfortable around her friends. He constantly ridicules and devalues his wife's brother.

@flipper1966 witnessed it not heard her narrate or admit.

I mean were you there when he ridiculed her brother?

How are you related to this woman?

@Miram She's my sister. He's my brother-in-law. 🤣 He constantly bad mouths me. He once told her that our father is a jerk.

@Miram Probably jealous and controlling? Oh, and he ridiculed our uncle at my sister's and his wedding.

@flipper1966

I am sorry to hear that. You never know in this site, sometimes people ask questions like that here because they have an agenda against someone's relationship such as participating in an affair. I hope you understand why I needed to ask.

I would probably draw a very clear line. It is not his place to criticize you never mind disrespecting you. A lot who suffer inferiority complex derive value from a dynamic of abuse masking it as superiority.

Is he controlling with his wife?

Pretty possible , she needs to take care of her own connections. It is her own responsibility. Some people are fine with living like that.

@Miram
I'll answer with an anecdote. He doesn't like my sister spending money on books. She's a reader. He's not. I was at the mall with my sister when she bought a book at the bookstore. I said, "What is ---- going to say when he sees you bought a book?" She said, "He'll never find out. When I get home I plan to hide it under the bed!" 🤣 By the way, she's happy with him. She says "he's perfect! He's the perfect person!" To each her own!
