Hey Rook...
I agree with the things other people have said, but I don't know if it really helps you out of your situation. The reality is that he's upset and telling him "you don't get it" isn't likely to calm him down.
If you can get his attention, I'd suggest telling him that you didn't want the other people at the table to know what you had. Any time he wants to know in the future, you'll tell him, but after you've both left the table, when no-one else can hear. If he'll listen you can explain about the reads and why it's bad. Tell him you're working on being a better player, and this is one of the things you've learned about home games. Heck, refer him to the site!
