[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad is more or less exactly like this, and he’s now in his 70s. He does have hearing loss and did address it; however, that did not change his behavior. At this point[b], I chalk it up to never really learning how to socialize politely, and never being corrected early on. My parents have couple friends who tolerate him because they are my mom’s friends first. He had friends over years he only saw at work. A few other friends drifted away, and in hindsight, I bet it was because of this behavior.[/b] The wife would send a Christmas card, but that was the extent of the friendship.

And like OP’s husband, he’d never correct his behavior. My mom complained a bit but tolerated it. Now here she is 50 years later lucky to still have friends. I think she also  got as stubborn as him in sone ways.

My DH also couldn’t stand dinners with them. At this point, we life a plane ride away. Surprisingly, these days, my dad is quieter, but I think it’s because he’s older, his hearing is worse, and he’s never been close with my DH and comfortable pontificating (that’s a whole other story). Perhaps it all comes down to how certain he feels the crowd he’s with will tolerate him, and agree with what he says? [/quote]

Your DH doesn’t even acknowledge there is a problem. You have to accept he will continue this behavior and won’t change. Ever. [/quote]
