You and your partner are working at cross purposes. It's important to establish clear, healthy boundaries if you're going to stay together. You dislike conflict, but having a fight is better than feeling like you're not respected. Your other half does think well of you, but they aren't aware how certain phrases and behaviours affect you. Be honest and specific in your criticisms. Deliver these concerns when you're calm and receptive. Angry accusations will make a difficult situation worse.
