My wife keeps bringing up the past like she's tallying a score. "You keep doing this." "You always come up with these ideas, but you never finish."

How do I communicate with that? Some things I really don't want to change. I really am trying to grow, and she knows it, but I feel more and more, she's building things up against me. There are many things she does that bother me, but I don't attack her about it like she does to me. I feel we're off track and I don't know how to get her to stop throwing things in my face from the past. She brought up an insensitive joke I said about her over 3 years ago and which I've apologized for at least a dozen times. I don't know what to do.
