[quote=Anonymous]He's trying to put you down so that you'll feel inadequate and small. As you point out, these comments are ridiculous, but he's not trying to be rational, and he's certainly not trying to be helpful. He's doing two things: (1) undermine your self confidence, and (2) express his contempt for you. There's a substantial body of research about expressions of contempt and what they say about a relationship. Nutshell version: once a partner starts expressing contempt, the relationship is usually done. Google this - you'll find plenty of articles on this subject. It sounds like you're on the way out of this marriage. Whether you are or not, help yourself by detaching enough so you're aware of his motivations for making inappropriate comments, and work to maintain your boundaries so those comments don't have their intended effect.[/quote]
