as the first girlfriend of my bf, my bf tends to get like the male lead. he doesn't tell me much about what hes feeling because hes scared i might break up if i get mad and ive been through that too with my first bf before, and i just needed assursnce that i can open up. so i assured my bf that he can tell me how he feels. My personal experience is that communicating is a hard thing to do if you get anxious over something they might think of. When im mad too, i dont like communicating much and i let it go since i tend to get too much when mad. so this kind of behavior isnt that uncommon, a lot of great couples been through it, some even take couple's therapy. i hope this answered ur question hehehe have a great day!!
