You are VERY mature for your age and reasonable.
He is quite selfish, self centered and doesn't know how to have a relationship or communicate.
I know because I was really bad for a long time, albeit I was so introverted I had no girlfriends for long time.
Ever... we'll, that's very close to eternity isn't it? I learned, but it took a lot of suffering from my wife to get past my deflection and self defense. Her training as a teacher helped her find strategies to communicate with me that eventually, got me to where I communicate much better. That's all this guy is doing, you are asking for something and very reaonable... he's deflecting because his personality and training says he is perfectly correct as he is. Standad human. He's blocking...
Will he learn... not without a LOT of pain and suffering, emotionally or maybe continual training. But you'll end up looking like the B and wrong, it will feel really bad. You were better off leaving him writhering in emotional pain at the edge of a bridge.. then he may decide to open up and learn. I doubt he even learns in front of a therapist... why would he? People don't want to change. It is very hard to crack a hard nut... e. g. ego.
If you want to figure him out go into his past and examine the personality... good luck with that:)
Maybe you could win a match with a mountain lion, but then again, maybe that's above your skill level and emotional strength. If you know what you are doing, have skills and energy and plan for the worst, then maybe you are fine sticking with this one. Else, save yourself and leave him to the next victim to work him out. You've learned your lesson and if so, maybe you will see value in other personalities.

He was never interested in fixing things if he had to take responsibility for his actions. He was never interested in fixing things if you were not the problem. In fact he needed things to be broken, he needed you to continue to be just one small reassurance away from being healed because while you stayed needing that little thing then you stayed with him. You stayed under his control

unfortunately they never change because nothing is ever their fault, and everything they accuse people of is really themselves talking in third person and history always repeats itself. the best thing to do is ignore them and block them and don't ever fall for their "I'm gonna commit suicide" scam
He may realize, in time. But that's not really your problem at the end of the day. Getting back with him was both your choice and your mistake, I hope you don't make it again.
Find someone you actually get along with. What you describe as the current situation is no way to live.
I hate this term, because everyone has this characteristic to varying degrees.
He may…he may not. I wouldn’t bet on it though.
