[quote=Anonymous]He probably talks to dear son like this bc it is the way his dad raised him. Very common in that generation. If not counseling how about a joint parenting class? Might he be up for that? If nothing else you could take one and share some insights with him? My DH used to treat me with contempt. Lots of eye rolling and such. I spent some time around his parents and saw that this is exactly how his dad treats his mom. So I started reading about it and sometimes I email him an article. And I talked to him about it using "I feel xyz when you said this to me" language. And you know what, it really helped. He sends me articles too now on strong marriage. He is sooo much better about contempt and belittling language. When he does it I mostly call him out on it, but sometimes I know it's just an old habit he reverts to and he isnt trying to hurt me so I forgive it and move on. [/quote]
