Have I been unkind?

My boyfriend is currently ignoring me. Basically, he wanted me to come over but due to various reasons I am not free until Friday.

He wasn’t happy with this and said that he might not be able to wait that long and might have to sleep with one of his colleagues to ‘tide him over’.

I replied that I knew my worth. He replied that it was a difficult decision and that he should crack on. I also said that he might want to consider keeping quiet about things like this or I might make the decision for him and remove myself from the supposed ‘competition’.

He is now not speaking to me. This is a man in his late 40s. I want to have a sensible conversation with him where I explain that I found his comments hurtful but I am starting to think that it’s not worth it.

I just wanted some outside perspective though on whether I had been unkind to him.

The correct response to you would have been something along the lines of...
"Of course SunnyDoc, I completely understand, is there anything I can do to help. When will you be able to meet up? I miss you."

What he said was gross and pathetic and well worth dumping him over.
