How do I let go of resentments toward boyfriend and feel closer?

I have been dating a great guy for several months who treats me very well. Everything had been going well until I started focusing more on our incompatibilities instead of the good things about him and our relationship.

It is very clear when I am concerned about something in the relationship or am displeased. He asks me what is wrong and I just tell him I'll deal with it on my own because it's my issue. He tells me to just give him a chance to know what is bothering me so he/we can fix it. But, I just say it's ok and internalize all my negative feelings.

I do this because I feel as if he'd think I was being nit-picky or controlling. Some of the things I like about him are also some of the things I dislike. It's really affecting how I feel about him, around him or even the idea of spending time with him.

I care about him deeply, but my resentment is so built up I'm afraid I'm pushing him away and/or hurting him and our relationship. I don't enjoy being close to him or sometimes even talking to him.

How do I let go, accept him for who/what he is and feel closer to him?
