Christine12, I am amazed of your man and the way you approach the situation.
But, as the others said, it is not easy and you will see it. Your question on how to react or how to change yourself is from my point of view not so simple to reply to - they all react differently, or dislike different comments, reactions or behaviors.
Some things are just similar, but I guess at the end it is complicated and everyone of us has to find out ourselves.
Love, understanding and stepping back or out, can help a lot.
All the best!
