Your framework has a problem. You are expecting and working on getting him to make changes, and it doesn't work that way. You can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do, and you can't make him want to either. You don't need to figure out how to make him feel differently about disrespecting you. What you need to do is to stop allowing yourself to be disrespected by changing what you say and what you do. You can only change what YOU think, say, or do. He may or may not change, but your best course is to learn to set your boundaries effectively.
