Exactly. I complain all the time that xh does this. It's funny how I can do it, too, and not even realize it at the time.
The other thing I've noticed that drives my anger is when he has distanced himself. Usually I go off on some tirade about how he expects too much from me. Really, I haven't changed what I do or don't do...it's just that he's pulled back, I feel like I'm running on empty.
