I believe this is called the ostridge effect, my mother does this. Sticks her head in the sand and doesn't deal with the matter at hand. I'm sorry to be so harsh but if you don't like this behavior than you have a big problem with a HUGE part of who he is. How can you love someone that behaves in a way you can't stand? I'm not judging him or you. You should deal with this, either except it or move on looking the other way is not an option. You will have big problems down the road if you chose to over look this.

Good luck!
