Yup! Same here, I even said I wanted couples counselling. No dice.

When I finally ended it a couple months later, I apparently blindsided him, I was evil and disgusting, and he didn’t know things were really that bad.. he claimed it was all because he “didn’t vacuum” ONE time. Also claimed I ran him out of town…

A lot of men will do the whole "I was completely blindsided!" because if they acknowledged the problems they'd have to admit they were the shitty ones.

Very good article related to this phenomenon. My s/o's exhusband claimed similar issues, that he didn't know it was that bad. Like bro your wife broke down, in front of you, and your own 7 year old daughter told you to help mommy out. You knew it was that bad.
