Glad he has responded to you with some understanding LT. It sounds like sometimes he is just activated/triggered by some of your questions/requests and causes him to respond in a less skillful way...Perhaps a mix of personal comfort levels, even maybe attachment style stuff -you attempt to move closer and he pulls back etc... mixed with him trying to uphold the boundaries so become acutely aware of that in the moment.
