I think dirtball needs to change his name to something else. That was a really good answer.

It might be time to take a step back and give him a little space. Whatever is causing this he will need to work it out. I would suggest telling him why you're backing off though.
Something like, "It seems like you're always mad at me for something and I don't know why. I want to work on this with you when you're ready. When you are, give me a call. Until then, I'm going to give you your space."
You might want to clarify that this isn't a break up, so that he doesn't interpret it that way. But if communication is causing a problem, then he needs to get back to a point where he can communicate before progress can be made.
