Children and lovers are two of the distinct groups of people that you can love with every fibre of your being, and systematically want to wipe off the face of the planet. In many cases the causes are similar. Listening and understanding are not being achieved. The question is how do you then get through to someone either not willing, or not prepared to listen? With children it's easy, we enforce rules. With partners, unless you want to play the role of parent it's a little more complicated.
If your partner isn't willing to listen all you can do is decide what rules you are going to abide by. Set them and hold true to yourself. In doing so you also have to accept the consequences that go with your own rules. Sometimes those consequences mean having to walk away. Sometimes for good.
