My husband owes me an apology

Seeking Advice

But I won't get one. How do I respond?

The details aren't really important for this post. The bottom line is he treated me with disrespect and hurt my feelings.

I know he won't apologize. When we argue, I tend to let things go after a time because I don't like being in conflict and it doesn't seem worth it. Or I apologize when I feel I'm wrong or have acted unfairly.

This isn't marriage ending material. I love him, he loves me, and he's a good partner in many ways. But I am really tired of being conciliatory when he doesn't do me the same courtesy. It feels like a pattern of disrespect.

How do I address it? And/or how do I move on? I have this low level of dissatisfaction that lies dormant for a time but eventually resurfaces.
