What does it mean when your 'loving' spouse is more rude and disrespectful to you than he is to perfect strangers?

I feel like I'm watching the slow deterioration of my marriage and I try to communicate with him but he wont; he shuts down. I think he's lying to me about something again but I can't guess what and when I asked him who he was texting earlier he got super defensive about it.

Then when I asked him why... why he works so hard to hide things if there is nothing to hide he said, "because I like to see you make a fool out of yourself."

How can someone love you if they want to see you look and feel stupid? I feel like I'm at the end of a horribly painful epiphany in which I figure out that you can't love someone that you don't respect.

That this last time, it didn't even hurt. It should hurt, right?

He should be more loving as your marriage evolved! Message me.

@Serendipitymaybe I'm going to be fair and say he has gotten so much better since we were first married, but some things seem like they will never change and some things that are new are not very nice.

Understood.
@Angelfire21 THIS is better? He will not change. And these new things? They are worse!
