Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When I’m upset it all comes out as "you did this, you always do that"
• When I’m upset I go straight for who they are
• The whole thing has become a tug-of-war over whose fault it is
• We have the same fight on a loop, just with different excuses each time, and we always end up convinced the other person is the problem
• Every time I bring something up it comes out as "you did this, you always do that," and they hear an accusation and dig in
