YANBU. He's a disrespectful twat & quite probably one of the depressingly large army of men who believe that anything a woman has to say is less valid than things a man might say.
As it's persistent, I think you need to 'show & tell' on each occasion, rather than try to reason with him outside of when he's doing it.
- If I am telling him something that has happened, he says, “Darling, could you skip to the point of this story”
"Darling, could you skip past talking to me like you're my headmaster? It's rude & unappealing. Thank you" (& resume your telling)
- Sometimes when I’m talking he holds his palm up to me as if to say “stop” or “pause.” Then he asks a question which is too pre-emptive or kind of missing the point.
When he holds his hand up, stop talking.
As soon as he starts talking, hold your own hand up. Start talking immediately - even if that means talking over him.
"You've just done that rude & dismissive hand gesture at me again darling. Now you know what it feels like, do you think you could remember to stop being so rude? Thank you."
- If I am on the phone he will think nothing of interrupting the call with whatever he needs to tell me at that moment.
If you respond, you are teaching him this is acceptable.
The ONLY response you should allow yourself is (stop hand gesture if you wish, too ;) )
"Excuse me for one moment, person-on-the-phone -
Darling, as you can see, I AM BUSY ON THE PHONE. That means I am unable to deal with interruptions. I will talk to you when I am free. Thank you."
& TURN YOUR FACE AWAY before resuming your phone call.
You need to get your arrogant git trained up, Mintlime, & these techniques should do it.
I'm betting he wouldn't behave like this to a man ...
