Ask Evie: My Husband Speaks Poorly Of Me To His Friends Because I'm A Stay-At-Home Mom. How Do I Approach Him About This?

READER’S QUESTION: "So, I have overheard my husband speak poorly of me to his friends, and I am unsure of how to approach this. Their conversation consisted of remarks belittling my role as a stay-at-home mom, stating that I don’t add value in ways he thinks I should. His friends agreed and chimed in how I don’t work for what I have and how I don’t deserve it. That has resulted in them being dismissive of me, and it has fostered an environment where they don’t respect me in my home and where my husband feels validated in his feelings. And it has left me feeling very depressed.
