My boyfriend (M25) and I (F23) had an argument that is giving me red flags. Is it enough to leave our years long relationship? Please advise.

My boyfriend and I have been together for over five years and have lived together for 1.5 years now. For context, I was getting ready to go to a Halloween potluck with some of my girlfriends and their respective boyfriends. When I was getting ready, my bf began discussing the idea of a curfew with me, explaining that no woman should be out late because ?nothing good happens late into the night? and that I shouldn?t be out til 3am. I explained that I don?t want to be out that long, but the idea of him putting a curfew on me made me uncomfortable. He told me that unless he is physically there with me, I (a female) shouldn?t be out of the house late and at a party.
I told him there is no need for him to be this controlling with me and that I was confused, since he had never done anything like this before. I go to social events pretty regularly, but rarely go to parties like this (maybe once every 3 months). He was also invited twice to come to this party with me and declined. I asked my bf why he?s saying all this, and he said that, ?I have standards. These are my standards. If you don?t like them, you don?t have to live with me anymore. I?m not budging on this.? and then explained that, ?Now I expect you home at 1:00 am because you?re pissing me off but I should be saying 11:00 pm.? This freaked me out. I packed a bag, left to my parents house, and haven?t been back since.
I don?t know what to do from here. I want to emphasize he?s never done anything like this before, which really threw me off and hence why I?m asking for advice on an internet forum. I left the house crying and upset and my boyfriend hasn?t reached out in over 72 hours to check in or initiate a chat. Ideally, I would like a conversation to be started by him, but I?m convinced my boyfriend has no shame for his actions and believes I am the one in the wrong. Please let me know what you, an unbiased random internet stranger, thinks about this situation. I love the relationship my bf and I have built together, but this seems like a huge red flag to me.
TL;DR My boyfriend told me I need a curfew before going to a party without him. When I told him this made me uncomfortable, he tried to ?punish? me by making the curfew more strict. I left the house upset and we haven?t spoken in 72 hours. Not sure what to do from here.
