Am I asking for too much?

To keep it simple my boyfriend won’t confront this guy I go to school with who called me out of my name, said I was ugly, and the that god made a mistake when making me plus more. The thing is that he said all of this for no reason and I’m being so honest when I said nothing to make him say any of this. The guy and his gf broke up and I happen to be friends with her. Could me telling her that her ex was talking bad about her on his social media make him want to say those things to me? I guess it’s possible I did say something to make him say the things he said. I was just telling the truth and I didn’t want my friend looking stupid out here. Anyways when I told my bf he told me it’s not that serious and to get over it. I really don’t want to get into detail about the essay log insult the guy wrote me because it really just hurted me. But all I wanted was for my bf to confront him or do something because I don’t know what I would do if I did it myself. Am I being a bitch and bothering him with my problems? Should I apologize? This whole situation has been bothering me because my bf and I are now arguing about it and my friendship with the guys ex is now questionable.

Edit

I do believe people should fight there own battles and I’m not asking him to get in a fist fight with him I just wanted him to listen to my side at least. And I was minding my business I believe the guy was just mad he got caught up it’s really not all that secretive if it’s on social media for everyone to see. These are just my thoughts but I appreciate all the feedback :)
