I talked everything out with him, like how I felt, the things that have been upsetting me, my worry about our relationship, how he seems to act rude sometimes, all his time alone, and how his changes to make things better haven't really cut it for me. I talked about all this since I didn't want to just break up without talking about it again, more seriously this time, and giving us a chance to make changes or agree on something if possible.

He said he understood why I felt the way I did, and we agreed to talk first if something's bothering us before just getting angry about it. He said that has been trying to be a good boyfriend, but I still keep getting mad at him. He said his been stressed by my nagging, but didn't want to say anything since he tends not to complain.

He has been trying more to help me out and take care of things. I'm trying to learn to talk about what's upsetting me early rather than later. I've been asking him why he seems angry when we go out, and he said it's because he doesn't like crowds and being around a lot of people.

I do realize I have been nagging him a lot lately. I've been upset about other things and have been more angry than usual. He didn't understand and was worried.

I also had a long conversation about my own problems and why I wasn't sure he loved me, and my past. It went well.

He said he wants to spend more time with me, but surprisingly, I always seem busy. I let him now that I keep myself busy because I know he'll be doing something else without me all day. So, we've been spending a lot more time together since we talked. Hopefully it'll turn out that it was a big misunderstanding. I understand him wanting time alone, still. I just hope we'll continue to spend more time together.

He said I need to make him more aware if he needs to help out with something. It is true that when I ask, he does help. It's just that I don't like asking for help, and when he didn't automatically help with things, I was upset. He did bring up examples of times he did help, and apologized for the times he didn't.

He has shown strong loyalty to me. He did admit, when we were talking, that he's bad at showing his feelings and does care a lot.

He does want to work things out. I can't change his personality, like Talthybius has said. He does have a personality that's hard to explain. He's very quiet except for when he loves the topic, and will talk about it for a long time. He told me he doesn't think too much about things going on outside his thoughts, like Talthybius correctly guessed. He won't tend to think about the less important things like laundry or cleaning very often like most people. He does take initiative on things out of nowhere on occasion, but tends to stay in the same routine. He also tends to have long-lasting, strong interests that consume part of his life for a while. I always liked some of these things about him, so maybe he just isn't "perfect" and I have to put up with the annoying details to get the full person.

I'll give him another chance.
