How you get shocked by electricity?

You get shocked by electricity usually from buildup of static electricity. For example just walking on carpet and touching a doorknob may shock you, but something like that won't kill you. Others ways you can get shocked is from having wet hands and touching electrical wiring, usually appliance plug ins, which has the potential to kill you depending on different circumstances. Another way you can get shocked is if you have a heart attack or your heart stops. To restart your heart, they can use something called a defibrillator shock you and get your heart working again. The last and most dangerous way to get shocked is getting struck by lightning, which most of the time will kill you if you are not insulated.

Why when I'm touching something outside electic and my husband can touch me i get shocked but if i just touch it nothing happens Electromagnetic forces in Humans?

You apparently aren't grounded but he seems to be. Rubber soled shoes could be the answer. When you touch him, the current completes a circuit to ground, and passes through you. Not electro magnetic forces in humans -- more like different footwear is my guess.
