Public praise and private criticism

Meaning:
  • never say a bad thing about him outside of our home
ʺI promise, as your mate, that I will never speak ill of you to friend, family, or stranger. I will not embarrass or belittle you in front of others, nor will I be critical of you in your absence. I will not discuss our personal problems with anyone without your permission. This is my pledge to you.ʺsource
