Is it ever ok to disrespect your spouses family?

Hey ladies, My marraige is no walk in the park, but alas, we have made it through all the highs and lows gaining scars all the way. I feel like I've lost touch with reality and need a wake up call. My husband often brings up "the great men in my life," patronising, as these men (my dad, Brother in law, ex) are all jobless bums). Does this make him feel superior, why compare yourself to trash if you want to be seen as gold 👀 I dunnoe.. regardless, is it OK to drag family members in to heated conversations. I tread really carefully and know that he is sensitive about his mum, but I can't even remember if I have ever dragged her in, unless she's directly been involved

I'd address it. That's just disrespectful. You already know about the men in your life. You don't need to be reminded and you sure as hell don't need to be reminded in a way that is meant to make you feel stupid or meant to make you feel like you need to be grateful that he's not like them. I'd ask why he does that and let him know how it feels and that it's just not acceptable.

No I don’t think it’s okay unless they are directly involved in the conflict like you said and I wouldn’t stand for it, bringing someone else into it when it has nothing to do with them and then comparing yourself to that person to make yourself feel better is a low blow

Only I can talk shit about my family. It's off-limits for anyone else. It's so disrespectful. You should speak to him about not talking down about your family. He wouldn't like it if you did that to his mum.

Thank you ladies. Its been years of breaking this boundary, I feel like there's no way to reverse it. And he just tries to play it off saying I was angry, I said it in anger, I said it because I know it would piss you off.. like that's kind of malicious and tactical.. I don't know if I really like that, I'm just so exhausted AND if i try to address it, it's you need to move on, let things go etc etc 😮‍💨
