TITLE: Me [25F] with my boyfriend [27 M] of 6 months, we keep breaking up
POST: I'll try to keep this brief, I'm just looking for some advice/input. I've been with my boyfriend (let's call him Patrick) for 6 months. Recently, we've been having more and more arguments and I just don't know what to do to stop them.

The arguments are nothing significant, mostly misunderstandings because we're both pretty hard-heading and communication isn't either one of our strong suits. However, a few days ago he broke up with me (again), which led to us having a deep and illuminating discussion. He said he was ready to walk away because he, and I quote,"Thinks I am in this relationship as a waiting point until someone better comes along. He sees me as untouchable. That I am so independent and so far from needing anyone, that he thinks I will regret wasting even more time in the relationship than I already have. That I can build an empire from the ground up on my own."

I didn't know how to respond. I told him his view of me was very skewed, that I didn't mean to seem so impervious, but that I'm not waiting for someone better. I think he's an amazing guy, and he's very genuine, but his go-to emotion (so to speak) is anger. He doesn't get sad or upset, he gets mad. And he's not emotionally/physically abusive by any means, he just...detaches himself emotionally. He can go for days without speaking to me, every time we fight, it's me reaching out to him. It's hard to deal with sometimes.

Now, after our long discussion, we came to an agreement to start over. I will approach him more directly with things that he does that bother me, and he will try to be more emotionally adept to my feelings. 

I guess what I'm asking, is how do I show him that I'm not untouchable? Is there a way that those of you in relationships communicate that would be helpful?
TL;DR: 
Boyfriend and I fight all the time recently, I need help finding ways to communicate with him. I don't want him to see me as "untouchable" anymore.
