Aww, Denise that would make me mad too! I'm sorry I don't have any advise other than to just keep working on your hubby. It seems like it wont get better until his behavior changes. Hmm, maybe a reward system- everytime he takes your side he gets an, ahem, treat.
LOL, probably terrible advise but it would probably have an impact. If he wont take your side for the right reasons then maybe he will for another reason.
Okay, someone jump in and save Denise from my awful and silly advise!
