<human>: Dear /r/relationships, 

I [23F] have been dating my boyfriend [22M] for around two years. The relationship has had its up and downs, but it has stabilized for the most part. 

However, there are some things that still make my boyfriend go on a ballistically angry rampage. Here are two examples of things that trigger his anger:

If I make a comment or joke about him hanging out with friends, he'll start yelling and throwing a tantrum. Note: I actually don't care when, how often, or how long my boyfriend goes and hangs out with friends -- I sincerely think it's really important to be able to juggle a relationship and friendships. Anyway, even if it's something silly like, "have fun, jerk :-P", which he KNOWS is a complete joke with absolutely no passive aggressiveness (as in, I have no hidden/secret desire for him to stay in), he still goes ape-shit. 

Also, if I try to discuss/talk about an issue or event that occurred in the past (i.e. more than a week ago), he'll also go ballistic. I understand that there's no point in repeatedly getting angry about the past... but I DO believe that only by discussions are we able to truly get over things that happened. 

So... I guess what I'm wondering and asking is -- are these issues legitimate things to get angry about (and if so, am I supposed to just watch what I say and make sure that I don't joke around about hanging out with friends or talk about the past)? Or is this something that he needs to work on (and if so, how should he go about doing that)?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: My boyfriend gets really angry over specific topics of conversation... Should I simply avoid these topics or does he have anger management issues?
