Since he is so understanding, just tell him the truth.

Tell him just what you told me and he will get the picture.

To change yourself, ask for his assistance. Whenever you become argumentative with him or abusive he should point it out in a gentle and loving way. Or say something like "At least I'm not Frankenstein."

At the beginning you will hear him say it a lot and you will train yourself to think before you speak and speak lovingly.

Good luck!
