well, by trying to be smart, you may not act clever ... if he loves you the way he says it, he is probably over emotional about it.. and if does not feel respected by you he prefers to quit communication rather than sufering or entering useless destructive discussion. Stoping communication is sometimes the best way of avoiding conflict. My advise: Just respect his sensibility and if you can't, this guy is not for you; just move on !!! Remember, the concept of respect changes depending on the culture, so dealing with different cultures sometimes means to understand what is respctuous versus non respectuous in this culture.
