In other words, you married a male chauvanist, and now you want to change him. Sorry, but he is who he is. If you wanted someone unlike the exact person he is, you should have married someone who is already that way. You can't "talk" somebody into being something he's not, so quit trying. Accept him and love him for who he is -- that's your only choice.

Let me be honest and tell you what is actually happening... You married him because he was a Challenge. Meaning you felt a strong attraction to him because he made you chase him. The problem is that now you are married and you do not know how to "crack" him....
There is only one way to get him to adjust his ways, and that is you must appear to be willing to give it all up. If you give him the impression that he is loosing you, he will at some point crack and fall for you. At that point you are the Challenge... I can tell you through experience that this is the only way you will ever be able to change him in any significant way..

There are some great answers here. I agree with the general thought that you can't change people. People must seek change for themselves.
I dated a woman who admitted that her first husband was the bada** type... probably that was part of the attraction. Her situation didn't work out, but of course each situation is unique.

if he's like that then, good luck! male chauvenists don't adjust very easily. it's usually their way or the highway.
i feel for you, but i think you might be stuck honey.
hpe you weren't couting on marriage being able to change him, b/c it doesn't really work like that.

It will only get worse if you allow it to continue. You need to sit down and have a serious talk with him about what bothers you. Don't be confrontational, or he will not listen. You may need to seek couples counseling if it continues.
Why would you marry someone like that?

Good luck to you... Men like this get set in their ways and you will realize that you don't want to raise your kids in this atmosphere but it well be too late. You never should have married him unless he changed, now he has no reason to change, he has you. I really don't know how you can get him to change short of getting him to go to counseling. Good luck with that one too...
