Usually people who feel blamed or victimised suffer from lower self esteem, they may interpret your negative emotion as being caused by them and assume they're to blame either for the negative emotion itself or being unable to console you effectively. This may also occur due to your husband feeling like his needs or opinions are less important than yours and therefore regardless of who causes the issue he feels he is responsible for the conflict (for example if there is an argument as a result of him speaking to you about something he doesn't like about your relationship he will assume he is the cause for the negative emotion and blame himself, and inversely if you point out something you don't like he will blame himself for the negative emotion you're feeling) I would recommend your husband work on his self esteem, there is a book called "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Robert Glover I would recommend he reads. Supporting each other through personal issues like this makes a relationship stronger.

Hello! Without knowing the context as to why he feels he is to blame, its hard to really answer this question. There may be several factors that fuel him feeling he is to blame. Some may even stem back to childhood. Have you been able to have a calm conversation to explore the reasons he may be feeing this way? Its also important to take your feelings into account when he does this, its good to check in and see how it causes you to feel and if how you respond mitigates or exacerbates the issue. I'm sure its a tough space to be in!
