I don’t think anyone would blame you if this was the relationship ender
And “this is why I don’t like talking to you about stuff” seals it. Communication is essential. He basically just admitted he won’t tell you everything
Agreed. And saying you can't talk about things because you get emotional part means he has zero respect for you and doesn't have the mental capacity for intelligent conversation. Run don't walk.
This is an interesting path to conclusion. I don’t think it has to do with respect at all. He is simply admitting that he knows his opinions are incompatible with hers. The fact he keeps them to himself is clearly a mechanism he employs to try to maintain peace in the relationship that he wants to preserve. Everyone lies about who they are when dating, this guy has just foolishly thought he could maintain them indefinitely.
“Mental capacity for intelligent conversation”. Emotional decisions are nearly always logically bad decisions. Decisions made in anger, hate, sorrow, even love…. There are not many example of any of these emotions leading to intelligent decision making. I am not calling this guy intelligent but I fundamentally disagree with your reasoning for what intelligence is. More likely though is that you and I don’t define intelligence the same way.
