It was in the way he said it Puppy: very patronizing. I shook it off and as he walked out the door to work he promised he would keep any and all bees away from me.

But it speaks to a pattern. I voice concern about something and he totally dismisses it out of hand as irrational. He spontaneously bought me a scooter even though I said I didn't really want one (I had joked about it after seeing all the scooters in Paris). When I took it out for the first time it totally freaked me out because I had never driven a motorcycle before, only ridden on the back. He just laughed at me and said it was easy and there was absolutely nothing to worry about. I signed up for a motorcycle safety class so I could learn how to safely ride and get used to it in a controlled environment. I didn't tell BF about it until after I finished. He asked me why I wasted good money doing that. Umm, for education, personal safety and my peace of mind. And why didn't I tell him about it? Because I guessed how he would respond and I was right.
