Is my boyfriend becoming critical and patronizing or is it just me?

Anonymous
He said he doesn't like the way I drive very much and doesn't care for my music taste. He says things like, "I didn't date you for the way you write that's for sure. "

Lately he's been buying me a lot of gifts which is sweet but unnecessary. He said he's getting me a phone case and bike mount because he saw a crack on my screen. He said, "You seem to have a tendency to drop your phone."

I told him I'll see if my mount fits my new bike so he doesn't have to trouble himself with getting me one. He misunderstood my texts and said that I'm often very confusing and have limitations in my communication that need improvement. "I'm merely pointing out some limitations I'm seeing in your communication style. You can choose to think that I'm the only one that experiences it and not hear my feedback. That's your prerogative"

He said I was bringing up inconsequential things. Me-"I was only making sure you weren't buying something I already have. You've done so much, I would hate for you to spend money unnecessarily. "
Him-"You have two bikes, you don't need two mounts?" (Already told him I'm selling one.) If you have something then you should not replace it? I think your cracked screen says you need a new case. I think I would know if I'm spending money unnecessarily. "
Him: "You're not one to spend much effort or time on details about yourself like the way you dress & your hair style for example. But I spend time with you and I care about you. So I would like you to be able to do something about those things because I don't see you normally doing so. I don't think you look like shit. Or you are totally shitty at things. I just think that you can always improve. "
It's like, "Thanks Mr. Lifecoach and critic."
