Whenever he gets mad anytime you try to talk to him about feelings, he is worried you are putting him on the spot.

He doesn’t want to face his feelings nor contend with yours, given that he is afraid to examine his own feelings and what they mean.

He is afraid to be made privy to what you are feeling as well and how that impacts the relationship.

A guy like this is typically wanting to stay in the status quo.

He doesn’t want to have to grapple with weighty emotional issues that expose your relationship for what it is.

He is perfectly happy living within a lie, or hoping that, by ignoring it, it somehow doesn’t exist.

This is a boyfriend who doesn’t want to face the reality of what your relationship is and where it is heading.

A boyfriend like this is not going to be open to suggestions or criticism.

The problem with this is that it doesn’t help a relationship grow, improve or get repaired where repairs need to be made.

You hope he comprehends what the issues are and fixes them with you, but this is unlikely when he is reluctant to talk about feelings.

Talking about feelings is not only about talking about emotions of love.

It is about talking about the issues that the relationship is currently experiencing or is headed toward.

These are all important factors that must be examined.

When your boyfriend gets mad anytime you try to talk about feelings, he is reluctant to address any issues that need fixing in the relationship.

This means the issues persist.

As issues persist, things get worse, as the same mistakes are made and nothing is done to rectify them.

This is why it is so problematic when your boyfriend keeps getting mad about this topic, rendering the topic mute.

If you care about your relationship and where it is going, don’t let your boyfriend get away with this.

He knows that by getting mad, he shuts you up.

This is a tactic.

You are better off sticking with the topic and forcing him to address it now, than letting it fester until your relationship is so damaged that it can’t get fixed.

Tell him he can’t get mad, as these issues must be addressed.

Were he to leave the room on account of not wanting to talk, let him go, but the next time you are together, bring it up again.

You must address the issues and feelings in order to keep your relationship in check, fix what needs to be fixed and move forward.

Once he sees you mean business, he accepts the gravity of this and does what has to be done.

Talking about feelings enables a relationship to flourish.

It mustn’t be ignored.

Bringing this to bear forces him to take it seriously.
