Boyfriends too lazy to text

Hey guys! My boyfriend and I were talking and got into a little argument over the phone. I expressed to him how I feel like im putting more effort into the relationship than he is and I asked him why he doesnt usually text me and his response was "im to lazy too". This comment really hit my heart because I love texting my bf and I lovr talking to him and for him to say he is too lazy to text me hurt me. He didnt understand why it upset me and told me to sort of "move on" and let it go. I know I shouldnt have overreacted but what he said really upset me to the core :/ it made me cry. Would this upset you too? Or am I being dramatic? I told him from now on I would be too lazy to text him and call him just so he knows what it feels like. I need advice >.< I dont want to say sorry because I feel like i'm ALWAYS the first to say sorry, even when its his fault :/ but I also dont want to lose him by creating a distance

Arghh
