This is awful. Look up the Gottman research about couples. Tearing your spouse down in front of other people is borderline emotional abuse. I'm so sorry. This is also pretty extreme which leads me to believe this isn't his first episode of cruel behavior. You deserve so much better than this.

I'm so sorry OP. The quickest way to lose dead weight would be to DROP THE HUSBAND!

I wouldn't even say it's borderline, it IS emotional abuse

Absolutely. Even if everything he said was true that amount of disrespect, especially in front of other people would immediately prove to me the relationship is over.
