I love him to bits but I just wish he didn't nit pick on everything... Any Ideas on how to deal with him or this situation? I have tried to talk to him but i just don't get anywhere with him. Someone please help!

Time for locating both your senses of humor, I think. He needs to stop nitpicking and you need to stop taking everything so seriously. Try to find the humor in whatever it is that's causing friction between you two.
A little laughing about idiosyncracies won't hurt and might help each of you get your points across without any shouting. It's all about compromise and accepting differences in how you approach things.
Good luck!

The time is not right to stay together.
Best is to stay apart for now.
There is too much conflict and trivial issues can flare up which is not good for your relationship.
Sorry , you two are just like a cat and dog world.

I think it was solved by talking to him about these annoyances and striking a balance. Sometimes I had to let it go, because it was really trivial. It got better as I waited and now it is cool. Just like when you get annoyed with friends; sometimes it is better to wait and let it simmer.

If you moved in with him , you will have to obey his rules .
Just follow them like he wants and there will be no problems.
Give and take .
Lastly , if you cannot take it, then move out.
