I tell you because my partner, his first reaction is becoming defensive but after a time, he seems to understand my position a little better.
He did admit fault right after this last incident and apologized. But he will not own up to having a rage and anger problem. I know if I approach that subject and tell him he has a problem, he will become defensive and will start an argument with me. He can be very difficult to deal with sometimes.

And I know in my heart that I cannot work with a person who is so defensive and who ultimately cannot take ownership of their behavior. It's doomed to fail if he cannot.
