I'm Confused...

Monday, I got into a disagreement with my partner. He is still mad that I asked a girl if they had something going on because of a very public conversation they were having. It was better off being private. If she said yes, I was going to stop seeing him. I saw it as a sign of respect. This happened last year and I found out Monday, he's still mad about it. I have an issue that it's causing a rift between us and he told me I created my own demons and that I need to "deal with it". There's nothing I can do at this point and I haven't talked to him since. I just don't feel as if I can trust him now. But I'm relieved because I feel like I'm not stressing. Did I do the right thing by deciding not to talk to him right now? I mean, of course I'm hurting. This is the person I talked to day after day, every day for almost four years. I'm a fragile person and there's certain ways that you just can't talk to me...
