Somehow, I think I understand this somewhat. I think I used to treat people close to me the way you describe your husband being, many years ago. But I have changed - fundamentally, profoundly, and on purpose because after a while, I disliked myself being that way. Not saying the roots are the same (I don't see hardly any of myself - now or in the past - in OCPD), just that for some unknown reason I get what you're saying, but maybe more from his vantage point...
I know even if your husband really doesn't *like* you as much as he could/should, he *loves* you and your son very, very much.
Those two feelings are entirely different, don't you think?
