That's a really common thing for sociopaths.

Nancy is part of the pattern of abuse, right?

Devalue the woman, shame her for her sexuality, humiliate her, embarrass her, try to take down her credibility in front of the children.

These are classic abuse signs.

Also trying to isolate the victim from sources of support.

They're having this romantic evening.

He bursts through the bedroom because what he's trying to do is assert dominance.

He's actually humiliating himself as well as her.
