There is NOTHING wrong with how you show amusement. The problem is, he trying to mold you into what he wants rather than accept you for who you are. Don't give in to it. Believe me, if you force yourself to laugh, he'll only nitpick at something else for you to change, making you feel ugly and flawed when you're not.
What you can do is when he starts picking at you, be assertive. Cut off the tv, turn to him, smile and calmly say, "This is how I laugh, sweetie. It may not be what you want or expect, but my laugh isn't about you. It doesn't need your approval to be a real luagh, so please, for me, stop bringing it up." You don't have to say this example the same way, but you get it. If he turns it into an argument, calls you sensitive, or just don't understand, then he's not the guy for you or anyone.

He's being controlling.
