Is this considered abuse

The man i have been dating off and on for 11 yars in a toxic relationship is doing something im finding disturbing. I want to know if in anyones oponion is this abuse. I own my own home and car work a full time job.Lately, he has been jokingly referring to himself as the taliban man.He says hes joking but its affecting me as a woman.He now comes to my house calls my dog a taliban dog and says keep her in line when im not here. What is anyones oponion.

Did you ever ask him to define what he means? His comment about keeping the “dog in line” is disturbing enough, but how is he treating you?
