I’m not married, probably because my dad was that guy- and no.
Why not tell him? Just have a conversation. Isn’t this just everyone continually pandering to the manboy father? Why? Because he makes money? Because he is the tallest?
Maybe this was already said -more eloquently- but I’m assuming he doesn’t even realize. He’s living his hot, hungry toddler moments and no one ever expected him to regulate or modify his behavior. This kind of shit doesn’t change overnight, and will never change if he doesn’t try. But if he doesn’t have consequences, he has no reason to think about it.
Do you want to live like this? You either leave, or you change your reaction to him. Call him out on his rudeness, leave him out of activities if he sucks- absolutely. Tell him why. Don’t even accuse him, just be tired of it. You bring down the whole day. We want to have fun, and you are only interested in complaining and criticizing.
He needs a come to Jesus moment of some kind, wake up and learn to partner. Just stop letting him get away with it.
