If your husband said or did these things below over the course of your marriage how would you feel?

1. He never acknowledges my birthday or our anniversary or other events.
2. When I ask him why he never acknowledges these things he says he is not a presents type of person or someone that thinks these things are important.
3. We discussed having 2 kids before marriage but having our first son had to be an argument before he gave in and now I want a second he also only agreed after several arguments with the final comment ” you will get “your” child.
4. When I gave birth to our son and he visited me at the hospital all he spoke about was him being lonely at home. He also started questioning me about recent job interviews instead of focusing on the birth and how I was feeling at the time having gone through a c-section.
5. He tells people we are not having any more kids in my presence even though we never even discussed this as a couple.
6. He expects me to give up my job and move countries for his career. When we get there he gets on my case for not having a job yet. He does not even care if I have a job I like. He just expects me to have one but he is always whining about not liking his jobs and that he has a right to change jobs and uproot our whole family if he does not. His words often are ” it is what is best for the family”.
7. When his parents insult me he never confronts them unless I threaten him. Instead he tries to say I should just ignore their comments and try to get along. So basically he does not care or does not think he should correct them because it is too uncomfortable for him.
8. Everytime his parents tell him to do something he acts on it but often ignores me when I ask him to do stuff .
9. He has to have the last say in most decisions.
10. He makes plans to do things without telling me without thinking that I might also want to do something on that day that would clash with his plans.
11. He values his mother’s opinion more than mine and would often allow her to stick her nose in our relationship. He sometimes does not set boundaries with her.

I am starting to feel like I am married to someone that is selfish and immature. Someone who only thinks of his own needs and feelings. I did not notice these things before marriage so I am not sure how to approach this as they are things I am realizing over time.

I talk to him about them. He says sorry but a few weeks later he behaves like this again.

What would you do?
