M, your H told you exactly why he's acting the way he's been acting lately:
"I will tell you that a significant portion of my frustration here has been my inability to talk to you directly and openly."

No, it may not be rational. No, it may not be fair. No, it may not be karmicly balanced, but THAT'S the "why".
All the best,
