<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

It all started because of a misunderstanding through a text message. I was trying to explain to him that it makes me feel not so great when I give him care and support for what he is going through in his own life, when if I don't bring up what's going on with me, I seem to be forgotten about. I'm not really comfortable with just laying my problems and stresses on him without being asked anything like "How are you?" or "What's been up lately?". I feel like I'm shitting on him when I go to him first. He tried to explain that "That is how he gives support". But asking for it also makes me feel needy and annoying.

Anyway, we were talking about it on the phone the other night, and instead of waiting until it had boiled inside of me, I wanted to talk about it straightaway before things got out of hand. This is something he has encouraged me to do since we started dating (been together for about 1.5 years). But the thing is, even when I bring things up as soon as they start bothering me, his feelings get hurt and then I find myself apologizing for making him feel badly, when nothing even gets resolved in the first place. I'm not sure what else I can do if when I do what he encouraged me to do, he gets upset. I just need some advice on how I can make this better. We haven't talked for nearly 2 days now, which isn't like us at all, so I'm a little concerned. Any help?? Thanks so much!
<bot>: Boyfriend doesn't want me bottling things in anymore, and when I tell him of a problem straightaway, his feelings usually get hurt. How do I fix?
