How to deal with a childish rude husband!

I am furious!!!! So I have a cat sitter I use for holidays and we are due to go away. My cat has diabetes and needs insulin so my sitter came out this morning so I could show her how to administer the insulin. When she arrived my husband was hoovering and had disappeared upstairs and I made coffee. As we'd just had coffee and he was upstairs I didn't make him another. So then he finishes hoovering, comes into the kitchen and sarcastically remarks 'I'll make my own coffee shall I' along with a few patronising 'yes and no dears' thrown in for good measure. Not only do I find this unacceptable on its own but the cat sitter barely knows us and this was in front of her and I was so embarrassed! After she left I took him to task on it and asked him to not be rude to me in front of people that it's totally unacceptable. To add insult to injury, instead of owning his childish behaviour he threw it back onto me admitting he was rude but he didn't care and how I was rude not offering him coffee. Needless to say I told him to grow up and he's stormed off out. This isn't the first time he's been rude to me in front of people and it's not the first time I've pulled him up on it. And his response to being pulled up on something I find unacceptable, such as disrespecting your wife/partner, is pretty standard, he throws a hissy and storms off out. How do I make it absolutely clear to him that being rude to me, particularly in front of people, just is not on. Needless to say I am furious. More because he's stomped off out rather than apologising despite admitting he was rude!!!!

Well I've booed my ticket home from sorrento. I have one booked for Friday but I'm coming home tomorrow. Enough is enough. He rewrote my reality again tonight. We are here for his friends wedding, which incidentally I've paid for the entire trip. Admittedly I'm tired and too much wine was drunk but even so I think I know when the entire wedding party is in one bar and my husband and another woman's husband are in another bar. She even said to me at one point at least they're not abusive, I've had worse! But then apparently I don't remember being in a bar beforehand with them and leaving them. Really? Is that why I spent my evening in a bar with his friends wondering where the hell he was and then later him his mate finally appeared?!

Oh god Flossy, it wasn't boding well for the holiday before you went, was it !

Good plan to cut your losses and get out of there. He'll drive you round the bend if you stay any longer, better to be home and making plans.
