How absolutely awful for you.   Sounds as if you need to use some wily female tactics.
 
No, I don't mean withholding anything , but perhaps some sort of positive/negative reinforcement for the alpha male who is probably jealous of how you love that little doggie when HE wants to be the center of attention.
 
Like, "I'll go to a football game with you, if you promise you won't complain about chi-chi (whatever the name is?) for a month while we work on the housebreaking."
 
And slather him with praise (the husband, not the dog!).  Tell him how wonderful he is etc. etc. (they really do believe it and just love all that (as I once saw Roseanne say in an interview) "Aw you are so strong and handsome." sort of thing.
 
I also think you need to be firm:  "The dog is NOT going outside.  End of story."
 
Here's my question.  How long did you know the husband before you married him?  You mean you hadn't already trained him to sleep with the dog?

If you look in the group's homepage, Files section, there's a file called
Housebreaking.txt that contains my technique. It worked marvelously on my
two chis and they are 100% pad trained.

Sounds like your new husband is the one who needs some training. He has a
BAD attitude.
