[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you told him it bothers you?  This is one of those things where it doesn't matter who is right (no one is right).  It just matters whether you can live with the status quo.  He's likely to say it less over time.  If he knows it bothers you and still hasn't changed, then your option is to accept it or let the relationship go if you can't accept it.[/quote]

Yes, we have. I am starting to think it is a breaking point. We had one (of many) fights last night. This one is a touch different because I am still thinking about it. I called him about an hour after we both said we ‘resolved’ it and I was really looking for an ‘I love you’ after all the conflict and it didn’t happen. 12 hours later, still bothering me.

To me, this is so easy, [b]especially given all the things about my personality he says I need to work on [/b](which I am and have taken the initiative).[/quote]

This is a huge detail also.  I'm sorry, OP, I think this relationship is in huge trouble.  The "I love you" is just the tip of the iceberg.[/quote]

+1 What aspects of your personality does he want you to change? It doesn’t have to be like this; you could be with someone who loves you for who you are.
Please share with us what you have “worked on” on his behalf.[/quote]

He says I *never* take responsibility and I am mostly to blame for our arguments. He then martyrs himself and say he will
take the blame. I am trying to work on it, but I do think he is exaggerating. It also makes it so if we are both upset, I can’t share why I am upset because I am shifting blame.[/quote]
