To ignore someone when they are talking to you, just carry on what you're doing and not even look up.

To refuse to engage in a discussion after an argument and just sigh and huff and then walk off when the person tries to talk. Or say "right, fine, whatever". When the person tries to ask if they will contribute to the discussion the reply is "I've got nothing to say".

To walk out / drive off after a disagreement leaving the other person to look after your joint young child.

To tell the other person's family members "I'm planning on leaving her" and then act totally normal with you afterwards and not say that to you.

To get angry when you want to contact them at work - all contact is on your terms. You call when you want to, if the other person says anything about a topic you don't want to discuss "I'm not discussing this now" and / or hang up.

To ignore someone sobbing their heart out and just walk out the door/ room.

When the other person raises an issue or something that upset them and calmly tries to discuss it you get angry, raising you voice, then say "well here's all the things you do wrong"

I'm going crazy here thinking am I the problem? He's convinced me I am.
