It's definity more to this for him IMO....Him bringing up that you two have never been good a resolving conflicts in the past and seemingly not being better now...makes me feel like he's trying to prove something through this. Like confirming for him self "we are just too different....I knew we could never get along".
He does seem to only want things to go the way he feels is right.
