maybe he has other reasons for not wantin to see his family or friends and just hasn't shared these with you
maybe you should introduce him to your friends??
hope this helps

 It's hard to say why he reacts that way. Seems to me that he "expect" you to be his entertainment at all times?
I would honestly stop suggesting he goes hang out with family and/or friends. If you are away from your partner and can't hang out just tell him that you can't and why. Then hopefully he can stop acting passive-aggressive and figure something to do by himself?
And I certainly would tell him that getting angry with you because you have other plans is not the way to go. ( though perhaps in a more gentle way) :)

They may not have had any fights and be on good terms but that does not mean he enjoys their company. If it makes him uncomfortable and it stresses him out why do you keep bringing it up anyway? I'm sure he's sick of it give him a break we don't all like spending time with their family. I see mine on special occasions birthdays and xmas and that suits me fine. Just accept him as he is why are you analyzing and over thinking this so much give him a break.
