He will continue to manipulate and threaten if he is allowed to. I feel you are right to expect some respect and consideration. The other comments sounded right.

I think you've adopted the correct course! And one would hope the time will come when your son recognizes that and will thank you for it...

Good it is to draw boundaries. I used to worry about those arguments too like your husband is doing, but more often than not, people still interacted with one another.

It's tough but right
to draw your boundaries and insist that he respect them. You don't have to be angry about it, though that can help when you recognize that anger helps us clear out other people's energies, and their truths that they want us to take on. Anger can be very cleansing, if it is let to flow, and not thrown around at targets.
Your husband's from a culture that is very forgiving of men.
