Once when discussing his latest unacceptable behaviour, one friend's response was "well, he's never like it with me". The implication that it was something unacceptable I was doing to make him that way. We're no longer friends but the split wasn't because of this.

Oh, I relate to this! There were people who thought my dad was charming/a gentleman, but he had a different side at home. Not overtly nasty, unless he couldn’t have his way, but he could be very entitled and had this nasty grin that he flashed when he knew he’d annoyed you. So much more I could say, too, but the gist is that, like with your stepfather, a lot of people have very different sides. We all have different aspects, of course, but most of us don’t have to go to great lengths to hide them.
