Just don't start with accusations, they say you're tired of your grievances at everything. It is better to calmly explain to the person that you are upset by frequent resentments, you are uncomfortable from this. That way, you'll have a chance to discuss it calmly.

    Explain to the person what you are willing to endure, what you are willing to apologize for and how long you will endure his offenses. Apologize, try to make amends, but not all the time. Try to convey to the person that you love and appreciate him, but you do not like his behavior. Just make sure that the person does not overstep the stick, set clear boundaries.

    If you want to maintain a relationship with such a person, you need to learn peace of mind. Don’t expect it to change after the first conversation. Stay calm, don't get him into arguments, don't make excuses. Just try to understand him, listen to him, and tell him that you're sorry and that you've already apologized. If you do this methodically, then over time you will come to a compromise and will understand each other better.
