It sounds like your message is not getting through. There are a couple methods you can try such as the "sandwich technique" and lots of "I messages." The first one involves stating one positive thing --before and after-- one negative thing, thus sandwiching the bad between two good things. The latter is simply changing the way you approach a situation. Instead of saying "You make me feel bad when you _______," try saying, "I feel bad when you __________."
