I can say that in my own little imagination, I thought my XAH was being a jerk b/c he was an alcoholic. He was clean for a year, he was a jerk then too. I slowly came to realize that just because someone does or does not drink does not necessarily make them less of a jerk. Just my .02
And you are absolutely right, it is 100% NOT acceptable!

Amy55's story and this thread is reminding me of a recent revelation I had with my husband. He was complaining that I don't communicate. I asked for more particulars, which he gave me. Then I realized that I had told him my feelings on each of the issues he recalled; he just didn't agree with me. So I realized that for him, "communication" means listening to him long enough until I agree with what he says. When that doesn't happen, in his view we have a communication breakdown . . .
Yes, as Amy55 said and I'm now realizing, it's all about control.
