Your story sounds very similar to many stories I have heard from other females and from my own life at times and what I have come with is that many men do not like to talk about their wrongs in a relationship as it leaves them feeling like a failure (a mans worse fear - is being a failure) therefore, one must talk their partner with out it coming across as you are wrong or you need to change this or that.... I pass my ((( hugs ))) along to you for I know this is no easy task.
