Am I asking for too much?

If you kept having to be the one to initiate a conversation with your boyfriend/husband/etc. about problems in the relationship, would this bother you? He knows what the problems are just as much as I do, and he’s completely oblivious to them. I’m always the one bringing up the issues and how much they bother me and then I wait for him to respond or say let’s sit down and talk about things, and he never does this. He just lets problems bypass as if they don’t even exist. This bothers me so much because he’s the one who caused the problems to begin with. When we first got together he cheated with his ex over and over again while I was pregnant with our first child. He has also been caught talking to other women. In return this made me insecure and “naggy” I guess? I was trying to work on things but him acting blind to everything kills me. He says he wants to “start” over and he’s trying to do everything right. But a conversation is too much for him it seems..... Yesterday we went on a walk downtown with our son and instead of using that time to say “hey let’s talk” he had in one of his AirPods and was listening to music instead. When we finally sat down to eat I brought up that it was a great time to talk while walking and he how he didn’t even think to use that time for that. Also the “talks” that we have had are never really talks. It always ends with me ranting and him just walking away or saying “ok, I understand” etc. That’s considered “communication to him............. It’s so much I can go on about but I’m so over this mess. I’ve felt single the whole time I’ve been with him and unsure of where we even stand because of his ways. Am I asking for too much??? I don’t get it smfh
