Husband always thinks he knows more and is always right. Anyone else's?

[Sickofthis027394]

I've been with my husband for over 20 years since we were teenagers.
Background we both came from council estates , he didn't pass any gcses, both worked minimum wage jobs. We were very equal.
10 years ago he decided to get some qualifications and now is in senior management roles. Since then he has completely changed as a person and I hate it.
It's like he thinks hes better than all of us. I am very proud that he chose to further his career and increase his earnings and hes done wonderfully well but i dont like this side of it.
I feel like he talks down to me. Everything i ever say he always has to question or agree with the other side. Its almost as if its an uncontrollable thing that he now does all of the time.
I've just ordered a new diary for work as I like to use paper not Outlook calendar, hes asked me 20 questions about it, why I need it, its stupid, why dont I use Outlook, bet I don't even use it etc. I use it every single day and would be lost without it. I've ended up just shouting at him and storming out. Not over the dairy itself but the bigger picture. Im sick of these constant put downs, constant questioning etc . I really dont know who he thinks he is!!

Why are you staying married to someone you describe as a “master manipulator”?

Just thought you might like this poem by Wendy Cope, Op

He Tells Her

He tells her that the Earth is flat -
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.
The planet goes on being round.

You are being reactive.... to his abuse, which is perfectly understandable.

I would start getting my ducks in a row op, he has contempt for you, you don't fix that.

I have four degrees, including an Oxford doctorate, and I use paper.

OP, your husband is a dickhead.

It's a good moment when you start to realise that they're wrong quite often when they pontificate.

The other week he insisted that the old dog was 13 . I said no he's 11. Showed visiting son the album on FB. DH doubled down, demanding to see the birth certificate. In the office, black filing cabinet under certificate. He stomped off rooting through. Walked back in saying nothing.

Now if I disagree with his factoid he double checks on Google and shuts up .

Trouble is he does bluff it out with others who think him an oracle 🙄

😂😂. That's brilliant.

You do have a choice re this man.

What is the point in staying with someone whom you describe as a master manipulator?. Are you hoping against hope and your prior experience that he will somehow change back into Mr Nice?. This is who he really is. You met him when you were but a child of 16 and you've never known any different. That is also a problem.
