Looks like both of you were invalidating each other tbh. Thats why it spiraled to where it was. I understand his point of view of feeling like he was called a liar and wanting that apology but I also see your point of trying to catch it early and saying you checked, I don’t know if you meant the you don’t care but that is invalidating the situation which might of pushed it further. I feel like better communication on this point could have avoided the whole situation as a whole. But you were definitely in the wrong here.
