Never say "You always" or "You never" unless it is really true.
Understand that not agreeing with you is NOT the same as not hearing you.
Be willing to hear your partner express thoughts about you and the relationship without taking it as a personal attack.
Is this venting? Well, yes, but in a more civil way. If these things didn't apply to our relaitionships we wouldn't be saying them, and we're not saying these things to our partners (at least not at the moment).
