You showed courage and you expressed what is on your heart. Good job!

His immediate defensiveness is not a good sign. It sounds like he did not accept or validate your feelings at all.

When you say “Here is what I need in a relationship” and he says “I can’t/won’t give you that,” then he is presenting with a basic choice: “Do without what you need, or find it elsewhere.”
