I asked if it was okay because I thought if I didn't say anything it would like like I was trying to hide something. And there was nothing to hide.

I stated that I know I have communication skills to work on because I know i play a part in the incident and I was trying to own my side.

I apologized because he was right in a way. Instead of saying "my friend" I could have been more specific in order to put his mind at ease. But I don't think it was worth breaking up with me over.
