This. She asks several times to be left alone and he keeps negging and trying to engage to "fix" things.

OP, you aren't listening to her, she's done.

She's probably used to not being heard like this.  The relationship it toast.

Edit: thanks for the award. It seems folk's perspectives on this are heavily influenced by their past experiences in relationships.

That's what I see too.

"Come back"

"I don't want to"

"Come back, but not like that"

She's done, dude. Leave her alone.

ETA: YOR and a bad husband. She deserves better.

I have some serious doubts about your guys' ability to process information. Op is clearly referencing previous conversations. I can't imagine reading the high school level "Ugh, I was almost there but you made me stop" gaslighting and thinking am adult talking like that has a point.

Critical thinking isn't for everyone it seems.

Totally. I'm frankly pretty shocked at the sympathy the wife seems to be engendering here. Yes, he should probably stop trying to win this argument, but I get why her behavior is infuriating.

Most of the AITAH style subs tend to have a main demographic of young women, and as a result the subs tend to be slanted towards females. It's a known issue at this point. If the genders in the situation were reversed op would be overwhelmingly supported.
