[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they rude to everyone? Or just to you? That will be a big hint.[/quote]

Only to family members, at times but not all the time. I do see him same way with his wife. Very loving and daring but could just be rude to her when she is unreasonable. Compared to him, my other brothers would never raise their voices or lose their cool even if they get upset.[/quote]

It may not be rudeness, then. If he is polite and well-mannered with people outside his family, and also with his wife under most circumstances, then there is something about his relationship to his family that is driving his behavior.

As other PPs have pointed out, sometimes people become "rude" because their needs are not met when they are polite. I have discovered I have to be extremely blunt with my mom to get her to listen to me at times, to the point of using sometimes sharp words with her. She has untreated mental health issues and can become manic and anxious and will just ignore everything I'm saying, violate boundaries, work herself up. I have literally shouted at her just to get her to stop during one of these episodes, because I am worried she will do something to harm me or my child. This is not "rude." It's survival.[/quote]
