<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

We've been married for over 5 years. We have known each other for a long time and were very good friends for a long time before ever dating. But now, I hardly recognize our relationship. We can't have a conversation without it turning into some bickering match. I feel henpecked. He feels henpecked. Neither of us is happy and we can't figure out what to do to get back to a happy relationship. We are in marriage counseling due to various problems, none of which are the immediate dealbreakers such as cheating or physical abuse. Our main issues are communication related, but the issues are so serious and repeated that I am unhappy and losing hope that we can solve the problems.  Yesterday we left our counseling appointment and I was in tears. He said nothing about the fact that I was crying, nor even spoke to me about it. Later, after getting so frustrated with trying to speak about our issues, I started crying again in the car and again, he said nothing.  My husband is extremely loved and is known to be a caring person. If he saw a stranger walking down the street crying, he would swerve across three lanes of traffic and pull over to find out what was the matter with them. Not exaggerating. But I am the person that lives with him and I feel that he treats me differently, and not in a good way.  He agreed to go to marriage counseling and so did I, but now all discussions turn into long drawn out disagreements about basic and stupid issues. It has gotten to the point where now I don't even want to talk for fear of it starting another pointless argument. Now instead of not communicating, we argue! I don't want to go back to having no communication but I can't take this fighting either. I hate conflict! I am withdrawing and seriously considering moving out to give us both peace and quiet. I know he is tired of the way our communication (fails to) work too, but neither of us can figure out what we are doing wrong.  Suggestions? Advice? Theories?
<bot>: Two people who really know and love each other are driving each other crazy and are miserable with the constant argument that has resulted from us trying to improve the quality of communication.
