We have been together for 9 months. We tend to be similar in the fact that we just hold in our emotions about fights or arguments. He said he wanted me to be better at that and I asked him to work at it too. 

But recently when I try to express myself and he shuts down by not talking or ends up getting to frustrated and yelling. 

It almost feels like he thinks he doesn't need to change because he is older and that is the way it is. 

I just need help figuring out if I can help him express himself more and not freak out when I express myself.
