Aside from being described as an asshole, etc I'm wondering if there is an actual term / name for my husbands behaviour. One of the most frustrating behaviours my husband does (aside from yell at me) is muttering under his breath so I (or the person he's annoyed with) can hear him.
A few examples:
If we are on a day out and pushing the pram and other child was walking with us and people milling about / walking didn't move out of the way he would get through the crowd and then just after so the offending people were still in ear shot he would mutter "hmph people here don't seem to be very friendly" or "the people here don't have any manners"
We were in a shop and didn't receive the best service at the till or whenever and when we're done he will turn his back on the person dealing we were dealing with and start to walk away and say something like "they're not very helpful here" or "people just don't give good service anymore like they used to"
We were in the park and some older children were being a little annoying and not sharing the equipment while my daughter waited patiently. He would say within hearing range of the kids "some kids just don't have any manners any more" or "it's ok <daughters name> some kids are just a bit rude
In arguments with me he throws negative comments left right and centre at me. Anything he can do to put me down. I don't bite back because a) I hate confrontation and I will always lose, and b) the arguments are often in front of the children and I don't want to argue in front of them but he doesn't care and often makes me look band in front of them. He'll mutter other put downs and very negative things about me as he walks away or while he's just in the room but not right next to me so I can hear him muttering but sometimes can't hear exactly what he's saying.
It's getting really tiring. Is there a term / definition for this behaviour? And is there anything I can do about it?
