Hope, I hope (hmmm sounds funny), you can distance yourself a bit and realise what you describe are a lot of unhealthy interactions.And IMO, some you would be better off without.
Put yourself in an imaginary circle and dont allow him to cross the line. No bullying is acceptable, no threats, no hidden anger, nothing of all that is healthy and allowing it surely doesnt bring you closer to your goal. I dont see him respecting you at all. And that is not a good thing. K
