So my bf and I have this relationship where we’re always kidding about each other, he tells me stuff like “you’re only pretty when I’m drunk” and stuff but it actually is for fun and nobody gets hurt. Yeah, this might be childish and dumb, I realize as I write this. 

Yesterday i told him something jokingly and didn’t realize that he was upset. When I arrived home he asked me if I still have his stuff at mine. I panicked. He was like yeah we need to take a short break. Two hours after he calls me and explains me that this joke hurt him. I completely forgot about it by then and I apologized and tried to tell him that I didn’t mean it that way because I really didn’t. In any way it wasn’t meant to hurt him but he was like no i don’t believe you etc. He told me that I’m a disgusting person and that he doesn’t want me in his life anymore. I was really hurt and shut my phone off and just took a nap and he called me like 20 times to see if I’m okay. Then in the evening he called me and we talked normally. 

Then today he was at work and texted me something like “now I realize how you feel when I tell you rude things” and that he feels like he has an open wound. At this point I don’t know what to do anymore, he doesn’t believe that I didn’t mean the things that way. I don’t know what to do, I feel like the relationship is going to change completely.
