<human>: My boyfriend promised to quit smoking when we moved in together, but he hasn't. At first he was sneaking cigarettes but you really can't hide the smell and soon he just didn't seem to care anymore, and is now smoking openly. I complain about it to no avail. Also, he is one of those people who believes that 'mental illness' can be overcome and 'drugs aren't the answer.'

Recently, one of many occasions where I've huffed angrily or asked "Do you really have to do that?" when he lit one up in the car- he goes- "How would you like it if I asked you to just quit taking your pills, huh??" I am prescribed bipolar meds and klonopin and take them on time every day. I'm sorry to sound blunt but how the fuck do I get this guy to understand that medicines I have been prescribed after visits to MANY doctors and therapists =/= cancer sticks he had promised to put down in the first place?

We have like NO communication tools and every time we touch on a sensitive issue, it ends with me crying and him storming off after having slowly raised the level of his voice with each response to my attempts at discussion until he's yelling, then enraged, and leaves, blaming me for having 'pushed his buttons' purposely or 'bothered the fuck out of him,' when I just want to talk. I can be a bitch too, but I feel like I have far better communication skills and general maturity than he does in a lot of areas. He's agreed to go to couples therapy but right now I don't have the money.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: My boyfriend thinks my taking prescribed crazy pills is an addiction comparable to his smoking cigarettes. Also he can't talk about a problem without getting loud and defensive or flat out refusing to acknowledge me/it.
