Advice needed for another issue....

In addition to my last post, I need advice on another really embarrassing issue.
Whenever my DH and I argue, he inevitably calls one of his friends or his brothers to vent and tell them about it and seek advice/acceptance.

THis is very embarrassing for me. When an immediate family member/close friend knows of your marital woes, they automatically take the side of the spouse who is their blood.

It makes me look like an idiot....and furthermore embarrasses me and makes me self concious when I see them. Of course they must think I'm a horrible person! If my sister ever called me crying about something her DH said to her, I'd think he were a jerk! Even if he were arguably correct!

I have discussed this with DH before, and gently explained that our arguments/disagreements are between us. This is private. However, whenever we have a disagreement, large or small, he storms out of the house to take a walk, and call one of his friends or brothers.

THis is really really bad. We are supposed to go visit one of his brothers next week in CA, and I'm almost feeling too embarrassed to go.

Thanks for the vent again.....
