I would honestly do what you can to show your appreciation that he was honest with you but that it would be nice if it were expressed more compassionately sometimes.

I agree. When he gets uncomfortable, he apparently goes to anger. Which is a new thing we've talked about. I don't like being cussed at and getting snapped at for expressing something because it makes me retreat and undo all the progress I've had in therapy.
Me being upset over this has decreased since he opened up about his anger issues and his discomfort.
