Explain what you said to us to your boyfriend. He can't read your mind, but you can speak yours. You show him your perspective and that won't give him much room to doubt himself in this situation.

Assumptions really are the mother of all fuckups and you don't want him assuming shit because you're both 18 and your brains aren't fully developed yet, so you're both likely to fuck up at that point.

So I basically told him that I knew what he meant and that he wasn't being rude or snide with his comment, I said that I'm not mad or upset with him or anything but that information did catch me off guard and kinda hurt. I explained that it hurt because even after all this time I still can't get far enough away from what happened. He was completely understanding and apologetic. We have been fine since then but my brain is just annoying. I have not been treating him any different and unlike people on here who haven't faced true emotional abuse I've made it a point to have open communication and time together! Thank you!!

Then it seems like the type of situation that needs time to get better. You probably got it covered then.
