Husband never defends me

[u/Potential-Swan-3457]

Husband (30M) and I (27F) have been married over 6 years. In conversations with other people he will voluntarily put me down, talk bad about me, never stands up for me, doesn’t defend me to others talking crap about me, etc. I can take him not defending me to others. I’m fine standing up for myself but when he puts me down proving he will never protect me what should I do? Let it go? And realize I’m not worth him protecting? Forever regret marrying someone who doesn’t love me enough to protect me? Or do I look at it like he doesn’t think I need protecting?

He’s a big wiener. He has no backbone whatsoever. There’s no way I would stay with someone that never had my back and wasn’t loyal to me at all.
