Dominance in conversation
When you talk to him, all your attention should be focused on him. You can't pick up the phone, watch TV at this moment, or just be silent. You have to be involved in any conversation, comment and fully direct your attention to it. In a sense, you feel like a service person at such moments. You have to belong to him completely.
If you do this, he is offended feels "that he is talking into the air."..Then he tries to stir you up even more, as if to shake you and knock out of you what he wants to get.
Any idea what types this might apply to?
