STRANGE RULES IN MY MARRIAGE

Hi RTers my name is Funke, 24 years old and a Legal Practitioner Based in Calabar, I have always been his kinda social girl all my life. I really love fun and hanging out with lots of people of different sexes. It is no surprise that most of my friends are actually guys, i really actually find them cooler to relate with. Anyway i got married this year to a very wonderful cute Engineer from Edo State, and being with him has really been wonderful and perhaps near perfect, however during the marriage ceremony, i was given some certain kinda rules by his family and somewhat supported by him to some extent, and most of the rules has to do with my social life especially with male folks.

1. That i should comport myself and not be playful with them
2. No hugging them
3. No hand shakes (this my hubby is not in support though)
4. Minimize calls/chats received from them

Although my hubby and I laughed about the rules initially when i was being told not really taking it so serious. But recently i was out with hubby and ran into an old school friend of mine. I was so excited that i hugged him tight without realising i did anything bad. When we got home, we had a fight as hubby made a fuss about it not being cool reminding me about the so-called rules. I was simply amazed, and clearly told him it won't be possible to stop hugging other male counterparts not only because that's always been my person but also that such rules are outdated especially in a civilized corporate world where we live in.

Few days ago, a good male friend of mine had his birthday and i used he's picture as my display picture on BBM, i actually change the picture 3x during that day) and i got a call from his sister that i shouldn't be doing that as a married woman. 

Dear RTers, I really need your advice in this situation because i just feel like I'm caged and restricted from being myself. Is there a way i can make them understand there is no big deal about it?
