Has your partner ever criticized you in front of other people?
Ask your friends

Yes, in a veiled kind of way like sarcasm or a joke... not so funny, but not horrifying either ;-)
He doesn't necessarily criticize me in front of others but he will embarrass me. Sometimes its on purpose and sometimes I just don't think he realizes he's doing it.
No, never!
No, never. And if she ever did, it was more a tease than actually criticizing me. I, however, have done it before, and I felt bad about it for a while after...
No
Never... She saves it for when she says...We need to talk.
I feel you

Never, if you really need to criticise, do it at home. Never put your partner down in public.,
Not really. He sometimes argues with me in front of other people, which is embarrassing. I know I've criticized him in front of family and I really shouldn't. I've been working on it.
Only jokingly. My ex boyfriend did it all the time though and it lowered my confidence. It's actually emotional abuse!
Yes, he a show off , he only do it when I get smart w. him
Never ever. Only jokingly.. But not enough where I take it personally by any means. He compliments and brags on me every chance he gets
I can't remember this happening in front of other people.
Yes. We're comfortable with it, but not everyone around us is.
Sometimes, but she's pretty good about not doing that
I don't believe so. Not that I can remember. He is extremely respectful! :-)
