Was I wrong?
My boyfriend of 10 years and I were watching Millionaire Matchmaker, it’s a reality TV show from the mid 2000s. A guy on the show said a woman was too fat but she was actually skinny, and the guy who said it happened to be overweight himself. I said “ugh I hate men!” In a joking way in response to what the guy on TV said. What I meant was I hate double standards against women and the men on this shallow TV show, I didn’t actually mean that I hate all men. My boyfriend immediately became offended & extremely angry, he was screaming at me that if I hate men I should just become a lesbian then. He kept repeating that I should just date women. He called me a fucking bitch and a cunt multiple times, and said he hates me and can’t stand to look at me. He told me that if he had said the same thing about women that I’d be pissed. The whole time I wasn’t saying anything and I tried to apologize but he said he could tell I didn’t mean my apology and that I severely hurt and offended him with my comment. He also threw pillows at me while I was sitting on the ground. He was yelling pretty loud and his parents were in the other room because we were at their house so they could hear everything that was being said, I was completely and utterly embarrassed to the point I couldn’t even walk past his dad because I felt so humiliated. This lasted for over an hour and the next morning I woke up to him sobbing next to me and he said if I had just listened to him that none of that would have happened, he tried to say that he wasn’t angry at first but that me not listening to him escalated the situation. I remember it completely different, I remember him going from 0 to 100 with anger and physically turning away from me as soon as I said it. He says that my perspective is gaslighting him.
