[quote=Anonymous]I'm putting this in Family forum because it involves not just me, but DC and others. DH is a wonderful loving person. Very family oriented. Accomplished at work. BUT the way he expresses himself to others can come off as irritated, impatient, condescending. He has been like this for years. He blames it on a headache, or hunger or work stress or irritation at the actions of others. When it happens to me I will stop him and say, "I cannot hear what you're saying when you speak to me like that." or "Do you realize that you're using a condescending tone with me?" or "Please don't talk to me like that." I'm not trying to shame him or treat him like a child, but it needs to change. FIL was/is the same way if it matters. I'm looking for resources. Books or techniques? I'm not sure he would sit down and speak with someone about it.[/quote]
