Well, unfortunately he doesn't have to listen to reason. No matter how persuasively you present it. I think it's important for you to recognize that, or you'll blame yourself if the outcome isn't what you desired. It takes two people to make a relationship and you can only control your half.
Maybe it would help to have a concrete set of examples where he responded differently than he has in the past. And you can ask his motivation for responding differently.
