That's a toughie. You are getting all the affection you want but he has no patience with you, your son or pets. I think you have to ask yourself, is this what I want for my future? Can you consider trying to meet someone else. Maybe you can take this time apart as an opportunity to think seriously about whether he is offering you the kind of relationship you want. Weigh the good and bad. Personally, I don't think it would sit well with me if he has no patience with my son saying grace. How is he with your son in other areas? Helping him with homework, does he really take an interest in his activities, friends, etc? IDK. If a man is going to be with me, he has to be good with my kids too. That's just me, you have to ask yourself what matters to you?
