I know why he's jealous, but why won't he admit it to me and talk about it?

I guess what I'm actually asking is why won't he talk about it with me

In private relationships, jeolousy is caused by comparing yourself with another person, AND then feeling inadequate, and fearful, that the other person will take your place, and thus you lose what you want/have. This is admittance of a lack of self-confidence, and low self-esteem. The more jeolous you are, it only means the poorer your self-esteem/confidence is. Jeolousy then causes you to be angry, and hateful, at the person who you are jeolous of. Meaning, now you have to more negative emotions, anger and hatred inside you.

Now, it is not that easy for anyone to tell anyone you are an inferior (you're the one who is doing the sentencing), fearful, insecure/lacking self-confidence/low self-esteem, angry, hateful person, right? Heck, it means saying, "I am a pathetic loser, living in hell"!

Personally, I stay away from jeolous people, given time they are bound to turn into control freaks. If you happens to be the target, that of course make it worse, because you don't have to do anything except sit/stand there in their line of sight, and you have (unknowingly) created an enemy who seeked to wipe you out at all costs, the worst is some of these losers first approach you and pretend to be your friend, just to gather information about you they can use to fabricate/manufacture "plans of assassinations".

So, be very careful of the jeolous type.

He wants to feel like a man. Men are stubborn and keep things to themselves. Makes him feel stronger, more powerful.
