Why does my boyfriend get so defensive when I ask questions?
He is defensive because he is defensive. You two have to be able to discuss unpleasant subjects or your relationship won’t get very far.

Does my boyfriend have a right to be so upset?
In a logical and rational world he would have little right to be so upset. But, relationships are not guided by logic and reason. Rather our feelings carry the day when it comes to love and romance. And you exposed his lies, which is a very painful experience to endure (see pointing out the truth ).
How do I know if my boyfriend is lying to me?
You start a line of questioning that makes him uncomfortable, so he diverts and gets upset with, “Don’t you think I have been through enough?” or “You are doing just what my ex wife/girlfriend used to.” Getting upset is a manipulative tool and should arouse your suspicion as it is among the signs someone is lying.
