Did you ever notice a person in a restaurant who mistreated a waitress or waiter horribly, with complete arrogance? Such a jerk might loudly argue about the order or quality of the food, may be extremely impatient about the length of time before food came, and certainly would have left a tiny tip or none at all.
Be advised: that person will, sooner or later, treat YOU with the same disdain! Just as you can't get rid of a tiger's stripes, you can't change any one else's personality. Accept the reality. You don't have to live with a jerk!
IF you tolerate living with a jerk, know that you are marking yourself with a "VICTIM" label. Is that how you really want to live? It is very painful, never-ending.
Gather the strength, get help if you need it, to 1) never get into a relationship with a foul jerk, or 2) if you realize you are being mistreated, leave!!! Nothing is black-and-white, there may be compounding factors, such as children, but, please don't stay in a bad situation.
Lord of all, help us be wise in our choice of friends and spouses!
