Can you fix my sentence?

Question

If I treated you the way you treated me, you would still try to justify yourself.

Clive · Accepted Answer

What do you mean here by 'justify yourself'? Can you say it another way?

Like, "Prove that what you are doing is reasonable. Everything you do is always right."

Clive · Answer

I don't understand the connection between the two parts of your sentence.

Well, What if I treated you the way you treated me? You would still try to justify yourself. Is this correct?

Clive · Answer

Can you explain how the other person has treated you? That seems to be the key to understanding.

There is nothing wrong with your sentence.  Obviously it doesn't mean a lot out of context, but it's perfectly correct.
