Have you tried to face this problem head on? For example if he says something that hurts your feelings or bothers you in some way, ask him what he means. "Are you trying to imply that I'm not intelligent enough to enter this field?" "Why do you find it so surprising that I am interested in this?" "When you say ... it sounds like you are saying ...."
Sometimes what we hear and what they actually say are entirely two different things. By asking a direct question immediately, you can accomplish several things. You learn exactly what he is trying to say, he learns that his tone, or the way he phrases something is insulting to you.
