My husband and I belong to a bible study group consisting of several members of our church. This bible study group meets once a week at one of the members house, and food is served. The bible study began late summer 2018 and has continued this year. Group bible study discussion occurs after the meal. Individual comments are supposed to be encouraged.
The older retired married couple:
There is an older retired married couple who has adult children and grandchildren. For the past several years I have noticed that this couple likes to correct the behavior of my husband and me either at church or during group bible study.
Examples are:
A group of us are gathered together, and the husband comes up behind me and says to only me “stop hogging the drinks, I cannot get to where the drinks are.” But I am not the only one who is in the way. Other people are in the way. But I am the only one he says this to.
Several of us would be getting the food that was made for the bible study meal, and the wife tells me husband “elbows down” when he is holding a plate of food in his hands while on the way to the table. But he is not the only one doing this.
I have noticed that my husband and I are the only ones who are treated this way by them.
Both of us are old enough to be their adult children.
The group bible study:
A male member leads the group bible study after the meal.
The group discussion is a free for all. Individual comments are supposed to be encourage by all, but for my husband it has not been this way. Beginning last year this male member has dismissed my husband several times either verbally or non-verbally by his body language. That bothers both of us. But other members can comment.
And we are supposed to be a family according to the group members.
Any advice or suggestions from the customers suck.com members?
How should we handle this?
