This is the story of my sexless hellhole. Remind me to care about you. Remind me to touch you. Remind me to kiss you. Remind me to have sex with you. Remind me to love you, bc I just can’t possibly bring myself to remember and it doesn’t come naturally. Just make sure to remind me to the point of nagging so I can say you’re starting a fight and shut down. Then I’ll tell you that you’re the problem and the reason I can never be intimate with you is bc you’re nagging and I never know what to expect. Then everything is all your fault and I’m just a good person trying to get along. Blah, blah rinse and repeat.

It reads like you are writing this from your spouse's point of view Sister smith227 . That's good from a perspective of 'knowing what sort of idiot you are dealing with' but is not terribly helpful in advancing your agenda of getting out. He, and his behaviours and actions aren't actually particularly relevant any more. You have your agenda to run. What he might choose to do is out of your control and as far as possible, something to be ignored.

That is classic DARVO. shrink4men.com/2018/06/25/narcissist-dictionary-why-are-you-being-so-mean-darvo/As baza said " What he might choose to do is out of your control and as far as possible, something to be ignored". Ignore it, while at the same time ,it's helpful to identify the 'problem' as HIS PROBLEM. Something he will continue to do for the rest of his life, not just to you, but to others as well.

I think you are realizing it’s HIS issues causing this (not you), and that is a good thing. Maddening while you still have to deal with it, but the clarity is good in the long run.
Hang in there.
