"El comportamiento de ella para con él"

I just heard this sentence in a soap opera and it really got me confused: Hay muchas cosas que no me gustan : el comportamiento de ella para con él...
I understood it as : There are may things that I don't like : her behavior towards him...
It got me wondering why they used both para and con together. Why not one? Personally I would have picked con but then I'm not an expert. Can anyone please explain to me why they used both of them? Thanks.

It could mean other things in other contexts: with, unto...
