When you described how H viewed you as an extension of himself it really snapped the anxiety thing into focus. I have a friend with an extreme anxiety disorder and in that context your H's behavior bears many similarities. If that's the case, he doesn't say and do these things because he thinks you're a moron or incapable, but rather that you are a lever he can use to combat his anxiety by telling you what to do
