I just ended my relationship becuase of this. my ex would never want to talk about things, and always said she would change and asked me to remind her when she was doing it, and she never did. we would have a disagreement and I would listen to her and when it was my turn to speak she would cut me off, and say I was wrong, and "felt" as if she needed to defend herself. I never yelled or raised my voice or anything. To me it was her "defense" for everything.
I was the one always fixing things and she would just give up and yell and walk away, and then i had to "give in" to her and let it go, but the next week the same problem came up.
I am 24 and she is 35, so with that in mind, i told myself that I am in a different stage in my life, forever changing and fixing things and learning, and she was content with her life. so I just split.
in the end, if someone wants to change, they will. or at least make an effort.
