[quote=Anonymous]If a lot of people were telling me that my spouse was a jerk, I'd probably re-evaluate his behavior to see if there was any truth to it.  (Assuming I didn't agree with them.)  And I'd defend him, but maybe also express some understanding of the person.  "Yeah, Jim can be a bit blunt.  I'm sorry his comment about your shoes hurt your feelings.  But you know he means well, and he's a good guy."  And then I'd talk to my spouse about how they were coming across to others.

If it's just one person, I'd tell them to knock it off.  If it's one person who does it a lot, I'd probably stop being friends with that person.

In OP's case, her husband should be defending her.  He can explain to his friends that his wife is quiet, but it's not because she doesn't like them, and he'd really appreciate it if they gave her a chance, because she's really great.  If the husband straight-up says that it's not worth defending her--honestly, I'd be filing for divorce.  He doesn't have to be a jerk to people to tell them that his wife is quiet, not a bitch, and that he expects his friends to be nice to her, and that he'd rather they didn't complain about his wife to him anymore.
