Puts off husband surrounded by personalities (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shelves

'puts off' is the definition.
('shelve' can be a synonym of 'put off')

'husband surrounded by personalities' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'surrounded by' is an insertion indicator.
'personalities' becomes 'selves' (I've seen this before).
'h' inserted inside 'selves' is 'SHELVES'.

(Other definitions for shelves that I've seen before include "Horizontal surfaces" , "Postpones" , "Storage surfaces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
