One of my friends had hurt my feelings during the day before i talked with my SO on the phone and I told him briefly through text why my feelings were hurt and he was really great at cheering me up. However, later when we talked on the phone, due to me not being able to sleep early, he wanted to know what was going on in my head. I opened up to him about some stuff on my mind but it ended up him being upset at me and that I shouldn't be thinking like that and it's dumb. I explained to him that I did not try to damper the conversation with my negative thoughts and he did ask me what was on my mind. This ended up me just trying to explain myself and him not saying anything... Afer a couple of times of me asking him what he thought or how he felt (and no response from him) i just told him that i can let him go if he wanted. He said "ok" and hung up....
He does this every single time we start to discuss something about our feelings or our relationship and I don't know if I can take it anymore... I would rather him talk and be brutally honest than not say anything at all. Atleast I would feel like he cared enough to try to say something. I don't think he realizes how much his silence really hurts me... and ends up making things worse for us.
What should I do? or How should I go about trying to get him to open up more to me?
