All that you indicated are accurate and most of it is disrespectful. He cannot understand it or simply will not.  I allowed it because I saw only one side of him for a long time.  He drank socially on weekends when I was not around.  My Dad heard in the streets that he was a drunk.  He was from a neighboring town.

Had my Dad said do not marry this guy, I would have listened.  My Dad trusted me to make a good decision without explanation, just a general statement.  I had so much upheaval in my life moving from the suburbs as a teenager, then moving to the woods, a mom with mental problems, on and on.

i survived it all and thrived.  My way of keeping on doing no matter the circumstance or situation, made it appear as though I cared less about myself.  Not, so and thank you.

It sounds like a combination of all three: he doesn't like the attention you're getting, requires more attention for himself, and doesn't care to hear you talk, for one reason or another. Personally, I would never do any of those things to my wife, not because they appear "childish," but because they are "disrespectful!" It appears he has a lot to answer for . . .

Yes, and he seems to have a high need to be that way without understanding it is just plain wrong.

Yes, he does want all attention but has figured a wrong way to get it.

Yes. The answer is in my book.  The little fellow James has a habit of bossing and correcting the behavior of others.  When he gets to the principal, he is told of his behavior.  No one can tell my husband of his behavior for he only shows the really bad side behind closed doors and by mouthing off in front of friends and family members who are like him. They see only wrong in me.  I deal with them by letting them know it is unacceptable.  Most of it has to do with educated and uneducated. They seem to have an inferiority complex but need to prove I have a superiority complex. Crazy meets crazy.

I think every relationship has its ups and downs, the trick is not to fall apart.

It does seem to be that he does not like the attention you are getting.
