I feel like my significant others tells me to shut up more than he tells me he loves me.
Do you know why he's often more angry at you than he is affectionate?
He tends to be a more rational person and is not into showing affection. For whatever reason he finds it necessary to tell me to shut up.
It's quite rude to tell people to "shut up", especially your significant other. He probably wouldn't like it if you did that to him. You need to open with him about how he's treating you badly.
I see what you mean. I'm going to try it out, thanks.
I hope things work out for you and because you deserve to be told that you're loved more often. Being told to shut up is demeaning and rude. I hope your partner listens to you and adjusts his behavior in the future.
