Your husband wants it to be the year 1965. He expects you to be a stay at home wife, with a child, totally dependant on him. Greet him at the door with a martini, have dinner on the table and sit in awe as he describes his day.

Shows like "The **** Van Dyke show" early episodes of "Mad Men" or even the "Flintstones" come to mind.

He is living in a fantasy world. A world that you are helping to maintain.

Why does he treat you the way he does?

Because he can.

IF you truly want the situation to change, then YOU must change the way you react to his actions.

Being submissive only invites more abuse (and you are being abused, btw).

Countering immature behaviour with your own immaturity solves nothing.

I would suggest you consider divorce, but part of me suspects you like the drama this relationship brings you. I mean, why else would you stay, let alone go back to him?
