[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something minor happened the other day, and according to my son (teenager) my husband called me a "F-up" behind my back.   Then, the other night we had some pretty major issues with our son, ongoing thing, and I was crying about it and he flat out mocked me in front of my son.  It was unbelievably hurtful.   In general there is a lot of eye rolling in my direction.  Anyway, I really don't know what to do about it.  In the past, if I tried to talk to him about these things he would say I was overly sensitive.   I may be pretty sensitive, but if you know that about someone you love, don't you try to not do things like that?    This may seem odd, but part of the dynamic is that my husband is a CEO, and while I am well -educated, I stepped away from my career after our third child was born, and now stay at home.  There a quite a few issues with our kids, and my husband travels a lot, so this is the best arrangement and I don't plan to return to work, which he has been clear he doesn't want me to do.  However, I do think the difference in our worlds plays a part in all of this.   Advice welcome.

Nope. That isn't minor. Calling you a f-up behind your back, mocking you in front of your son, and rolling his eyes in your direction? TOTAL disrespect. You need to tell him this is unacceptable behavior. He's teaching your sons how to treat women badly. Ug.

When he treats you like that you need to call him out. "Please don't roll your eyes at me" or "Please don't call me names" or "You are hurting me by mocking me like that" etc. etc.  You'll be able to tell what to do by his reaction to you standing up for your dignity.

Ask him what is wrong that he is having problems respecting you in public.

YES. If you love somebody you don't do that. Sometimes it slips out, but that should be rare rare rare.[/quote]
