Shutting down all the lines of communication

I hate to say it, but I have never had the best relationship with my hubby, then even in the start when we were dating we would frequently have disagreements, still we wanted to be married; Both of us figured once we were married things would get better, and in some ways they did, then however, over time things have only gotten worse.

I do not recognize care about there is any getting through to him.

If there was 1 thing that he was to do that I cannot stand, it would be that he shuts down all lines of communication, but what I mean by this is, whenever we have an fight he typically has to right, he cannot handle any kind of criticism and he will really refuse to talk about it, and as someone that is a firm believer that talking about what issues both of you are facing will help you understand each other better and bring up some solutions to said issues., his outright refUnited Statesl to talk about anything is sizablely frustrating. When there is no communication in a relationship, you will find no solutions. I think this all too well from my own experiences. A recent example of a fight we had was over the thermostat. When we first moved into our apartment together he wanted a new thermostat, I was nice with the old dial thermostat however since he wanted a smart thermostat he gave to buy it, however then he did, now he has gotten it into his head that since he pays for it, and that he “did it for me” which he didn’t, that he has full control over our entire heating and air conditioner unit and I am not allowed to complain about because he “does so much for me” I am starting to see how manipulative the whole thing really is, and you don’t go acting care about you’re going to do something nice for someone, only to use it as ammunition against them later. A gift with strings connected isn’t a gift at all.
