Derogatory husband - belittling

So long and short of it, my husband has done well for himself, started with no money, council estate, now done really well in his career owns 2 properties etc., been together 16 years.. he has become above himself and at times has said certain things about my family, implying they are slightly lesser.. or for example when we get a food shop delivered he says 'oh they love it when i talk to them'... ?? i confronted him and he got pissed off, but now i'm thinking i hate this side to him and don't want my son around this disgusting attitude..

he came to the uk an immigrant and worked his way up, now thinks his sh*t doesn't stink to be frank..

his parents were/are narcissistic too which doesn't help.. i used to think it was just a cultural thing but i think it's who he is..

He has at times belittled me, very subtle but there.. i have started to pull him up on everything i dislike and now he is confused and annoyed.

For some people, this is a phase. They need some time or a wake up call before they realise was a total arse they were. They then look back with much embarrassment at their past behaviours. When this awakening will come is another matter.

Otherwise, I'm afraid power doesn't really corrupt many people (like it might do in the above scenario that I've written about). Power revels who you are, and I think you might be starting to see who your husband really is, things that might have laid dormant until now.
