I have been dating what seems so far to be a great guy. His ex was an attorney & he seems to have some of?

Question

those characteristics when dealing with issues or disagreements. ie, embellishments of how he perceives something, half truths, making you feel like you are on trial, etc. I have pointed this out to no avail & am sure that since he lived on the receiving end of it for 11 yrs., he's pretty conditioned to it but how can I try & impress upon him that it's not right?

Answer 1

Tell him that for 11 yrs you realized he was on trial however you are not on trial so treat you like a lady with love and respect or he can find another lawyer to be controlled by with !! You poor thing HUGS

Answer 2

Since you have pointed his abusive behavior to him and he continues it, the only way to impress upon him that it is not right is to explain to him you cannot continue in a relationship that is not fair, kind, or loving for both partners. He will either reevaluate his behavior and you may possibly be able to have a healthy relationship or he may not. Either way, you will find out if you should invest more of your time and emotions in this relationship. NO ONE can change someone else, only that person can change their behavior attitudes. I wish you well!

Answer 3

You probably can't. You can't change people. If you're not comfortable with it move on because it probably won't change. If he lived like that for 11 years it's probably more than a habit to him.

Answer 4

It will take 11 year to mend his habit
LOL
Dnt change him .smile when he argue too much(NOT get involved)

Answer 5

what's he do for a living? perhaps you are only attrached to him for what he does or how much he makes.

if such is the case

why you complaining about him?

Answer 6

make a rightous kick to his evil nuts
