Need advice please

So basically, my boyfriend almost broke up w me because his mom said how I was clingy and my clinginess is unhealthy and how the amount of time I want to talk to him is unhealthy..... so basically he agreed w her and he had a talk w me about how my clinginess is unhealthy and he said I need to fix my desperate need for attention cause is excessive... like not cut it out just tone it down.... idk how to feel about that because like I didn’t think I was being excessive or overly clingy, nor did I think it was unhealthy but like ok. That really hurt my feelings and idk what to do.. but a couple days ago I started crying cause my cousin had told me I’m not too much for the right person and I shouldn’t have to change who I am for someone to like me and I deserve the world and when I read that I was w my boyfriend and I started crying and shit and he read it and then he said he felt bad and how he was overreacting and how I’m not too clingy or it’s not excessive or unhealthy but like he said all this stuff to me while he was angry so I feel like he just said it cause it’s true and he was literally saying i had to change that or he’d leave me. So idk what to do about this situation cause he said he takes it all back sooo yeah. Advice please.
