The moment a mean remark comes out of his mouth, you need to say "excuse me" and walk immediately away. Do this every time. He will soon learn that if he can not be appropriate he will get zero attention. Try not to get trapped with him in the car or anywhere else that you can not use this intervention. If you have the discipline to do this, and not "engage" with him when he gets nasty than you should be able to train him. At the same time, when he is behaving himself try to give him the attention he is seeking. Best of luck.

Is he older than you? Maybe if you just shut down and didn't respond to him , he'll eventually leave you alone. If he needs you that bad, you have the upper hand. Don't give in, let him figure things out for himself, otherwise your just creating a selfish person. Be strong, he'll love you for it in the future.

well... you may not be able to stop him... but you can try to better control how you FEEL about his remarks. If you don't react the way he expects you to, then he will lose interest in insulting you. So, next time just smile and say something like " you're only trying to hurt my feelings to get your own way... and I'm not falling for it this time". and don't let it get to you.

I believe you should ignore his petty thoughts and stand up to him and say No

Keep your promises.
If he is mean for no reasons, tell him to shut up.
