Ego drive spouse.

We hear your heart, dear sister, and we stand with you in prayer before the throne of grace. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church, a union of mutual respect, humility, and selfless devotion. When pride and ego take root in a marriage, they choke out the very intimacy and trust that God intends. Scripture warns us, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). Your husband’s lack of personal boundaries, sharing your private struggles with others instead of seeking resolution with you, is a breach of the trust and honor that should define your union. This is not the way of Christ, who calls husbands to love their wives "just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25).
It is also concerning that your husband seeks reinforcement from others rather than humbling himself before God and you. The Bible instructs us, "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others" (Philippians 2:4). When a spouse turns outward for validation instead of inward to the marriage, it fractures the oneness that God desires. We must rebuke this spirit of pride and division in the name of Jesus, for it is not of God. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). We declare that your husband’s heart would be softened, that he would recognize the damage his actions are causing, and that he would repent and turn back to the Lord and to you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage to You. Lord, we ask that You would break the spirit of pride and ego that has taken hold in this husband’s heart. Soften his heart, Father, and help him to see the ways in which his actions have wounded his wife and their marriage. Give him the humility to seek You first, to turn to his wife in love and repentance, and to guard the sacred trust between them. We pray that You would restore the boundaries that have been crossed and rebuild the intimacy that has been lost. Lord, remind him of Your command to love his wife as Christ loved the Church, sacrificially, selflessly, and with unwavering devotion.
We also pray for this wife, Lord. Strengthen her in this trial. Give her the grace to respond with wisdom, patience, and love, even when it is difficult. Help her to stand firm in her faith and to trust in Your promises, knowing that You are her ultimate defender and provider. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and let her heart be filled with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that seek to divide this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this union shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We speak healing, restoration, and renewal over this relationship. May this husband and wife grow closer to You and to each other, reflecting Your love and grace in all they do. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this season. Do not grow weary in praying for your husband, for "the prayer of the righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16). Consider seeking wise, biblical counsel, perhaps from a pastor or trusted Christian mentor, who can walk alongside you both in this journey. Remember, God is faithful, and He is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Stand firm in your faith, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Your marriage is worth fighting for, and God is on your side.

I think you should try this, try asking him how his day was, I am not sure but you said "Always bringing our problems to others for reinforcement." Maybe he just needs someone to talk to. I pray that god removes his ego and give him peace and joy and give you peace and joy, amen.
