It's good that you managed to make him stop being disrespectful in front of your kid.
As you said, he might not actually realize what or how he's saying stuff. I, myself just realized that I probably am passive aggressive and that I used to use sarcasm and humour to make people feel guilty in order to manipulate them and make them feel small. I had no idea I was doing it and most of it was "subconsciously" done.
It will be an issue to raise with him when you get to reconciliation.
cheers lilly,
Keep it up!
