Would you, as his wife, put up with such behavior?

Any man or woman who loves his/her partner should stick up for the them if others are bashing. This includes if family is bashing.

Man & wife are one thing. Rest of the family comes next, not between the man & his wife. What he should do is to put everyone where they belong and not stand aside or sit on the fence while his wife gets humiliated, unless he needs reminding that she is his other half and without her he is incomplete. His family cannot take her place, same as she cannot take their places. And no man is man enough if he cannot be on the wife's side when she is faced by whatever kind of adversity coming from any other source apart from himself.

I would not allow my husband to just stand there and do nothing if his family was putting me down. I would not make a scene there in front of them, but I would certainly tell him how I felt when we were alone.
A real man should not let his family talk down to his wife. He should handle it tactfully and make is point known that he will not allow for them to talk to her that way, now or in the future. If that does not work, then distance yourself from the ones that are not respecting your decision in marrying this woman and for not accepting her as family.
I had my husband's sister insult him and I asked her to not do that in my house, she apologized for mispeaking and has not done it since. If she does, his family knows that I will ask her again to not do this and if she continues then she is not welcome in my house, this includes talking down to any member of my family.
Good Luck!!

A man should never stand there when his wife is being insulted. A man would express his feeling to his family and tell them that if they cared about him then they should respect her.

i am wondering what your family have against your wife for them to do this to her...
but as a husband, it is your duty to make your family an ideal one... meaning, if any member of the family would show his/her imperfection/s, you have to stand up and straighten this up.
and even with such imperfection/s from your wife or kids, it is your one of your utmost duties to protect them from any form of harm, and that goes with your own family too.
how would you like to be in your wife's shoes, and see her standing and doing nothing while your being is being devastated by her family? would you like that feeling? i guess not.
remember, she is now your wife. and as the man of the house, protect your castle and your subjects... this is your duty!

No, he does not. Your wife should be the most important person in your world. Remember, she is the one who will be there for you for the rest of your life, through everything. I have been through this myself as my mother hates my wife and is a real ***** to her. I stand up to my wife and now my mother does not even talk to me.
She has pretty much disowned me because I chose to be with my wife rather than choosing her over my wife. Family is important, this I understand, but there should be no one more important to you in the world other than your wife, and your children if you have any. Even then, your wife will be with you love after your children move away. Protect her like the treasure she is.

No...my husband sticks up for me when his mother has been rude to me before. She used to treat us like children, even though we are in our 30s. He stood up to her one day when she thought I didn't like her spaghetti sauce!! All because there was beef in it and I don't eat beef. She got so angry, because she thought I didn't like it, and all it was was that I didn't want it because it had the beef. Well, my husband stood up for me and from then on has done so. She has pulled away from us now and I haven't spoken to her since that day. If he hadn't stood up for me then, I would have been very upset and would have thought that he didn't care about me or love me. So if yoou are the type of man that stands there and does nothing, you need to change, or your wife may feel that she is not more important to you than your family.

A real man should absolutely stick up for his wife. His wife should come before his extended family in all situations.

Been married 10 years. He put a stop to it the first time it happend. He didn't want me to work(we are old fashioned that way-i take care of him and the house). His step grandfather said I was lazy and taking advantage of my hubby. And would I put up with it in front of his family? yes. I wouldn't disrespect them. (unless we were in my house). But he would hear about it afterwards. Luckily I married a Jones though. They speak whats on their minds.
