The point of this was that it was never about you, and you're now reacting to it as if it was about you and thus angry because of it. He's 71, you need to realize that the age difference in old age means you two are at different stages in life. He will begin to experience more difficulty with his body in more ways than one. You need to be there for him for that journey. It sounds like a lack of communication is going on between you two. If you reject him, then you two are headed for a divorce. If you open up to him and take it slow then you can save the relationship.
