Why I CAN'T talk to my husband

I want to have conversations with him and tell him what's on my mind, or something that is stressing me. The problem with it is every time I enter the conversation with calmness, he seems to make me feel worse. He has the tendency to tell me I shouldn't feel that way, or I'm wrong. I have come to the conclusion that trying to tell him what I'm thinking or feeling is a waste of time, as it will always end up in an argument where I just walk away. I'd rather avoid it all together.
