I am assuming you are the one potty training and disciplining him. If so you should be the one to feed him and give him treats. He is young and should come around. My Lexi preferred my husband over me for a while and now I can't pee with out her jumping in my lap. LOL Try loving on him while your husband is holding him. Maybe while your husband is at work take a nap with him. Lay on the sofa with him and just keep touching him. If he walks away, OK just give him a few minutes then pet him again, and so on.

I hope he comes around soon and you feel better.
