His leaving abruptly was his talking to you.

Talking does not always happen as in "and now let us go through the slides of our presentation and discuss discuss discuss".

You asked about being on top, once. He said "no".

You did not understand the language of a verbal "no".

So eventually, after he exhausted the tools of verbal language, he got up and left, which was his way of talking and revealing his exasperation.

It is not any better or worse than your way of talking. It is just a different mode of talking.
