[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like an a&&hole.  Is this new behavior, or has he always been like this?    If he doesn't seek help I'd consider leaving him. This seems like potential dealbreaker behavior to me.[/quote]

It started after we had kids. I'm kicking myself for not realizing his selfish tendencies before having kids. Or maybe looking back I saw them and thought he'd be different with kids. I'm not sure. He's an only child and has always been very much 'my way only' on how to do things. He likes to call it his OCD but his parents had him evaluated and he was never diagnosed. I'm a very laid back person so I went with his flow prior to kids. It's like he's not realized that with kids, things don't revolve around you anymore and what you want right then.

I also think he's learned the silent treatment behavior from his dad. I've been present when his mom and dad were fighting and that's what his dad does. Since it seems learned, I don't want my kids learning that it's an appropriate way to behave. I also don't want them learning that it's an appropriate behavior to put up with from a partner.
