My [23f] boyfriend [27m] is acting like I?m ruining the day for bringing up that my feelings are hurt and not letting him sweep it under the rug

He?s been off all week. His only love language is touch and even when I hug him he doesn?t really hug me back, he?s been quiet, etc. he said he?s been having a rough week from house stuff but that it?s not us. I?ve tried to help but there?s nothing I can do. So I bring him home snacks, takeout, and I did almost all of the dishes the day before yesterday (there were a ton). Towards the end of doing them I sliced my finger open really bad so I had to stop but it?s really just cutlery left.
I work Tuesday-Saturday. Friday night I told him I feel like I?ve been on the back burner and wanted him to do something nice Saturday. He said ?tomorrow? We?ve got so much going on tomorrow. I will Sunday.?
We were supposed to go fishing today (Sunday) but I was honest with him yesterday and told him I wasn?t in the mood, considering our hour plus distance from the marina, the 40 minute ride out to deep sea, then the whole ride back and having to put in at a lake to wash out the saltwater. He said okay. I said why don?t we paint or carve pumpkins. He wasn?t into this idea at all and brought up regular painting.
The semantics doesn?t matter but it was a little squabble at best. We were on the couch and both annoyed with each other but not bad. I fall asleep on the couch.
I wake up and come to bed, he?s in bed watching a video on the TV. So I lie down next to him and hug him and he doesn?t hug me back, just keeps his elbow jammed into my side.
Then he ?jokes? this morning about how annoying sleeping next to me was because I was all over him.
I got upset after a bit and told him I feel like I?ve been on the back burner and my feelings are really hurt.
He overreacted and said I don?t need to share every feeling I have and just made it seem like nothing I felt was valid, it?s dumb that I?d bring it up, I?m ruining the day by arguing. I?m just sitting there crying telling him I feel hurt. He says ?so we just won?t get the canvases and paint then.?
I said ?I don?t really want to go like this.?
Now he?s saying I?ve ruined the entire day. I said I didn?t ruin anything, he did. He said fine, he?s not dealing with it and he?s doing his own thing today.
And I?m hurt because I told him that I feel like I?m not a priority and instead of apologizing he?s made me feel like a complete idiot, like he thinks I?m dumb for communicating. And I?m so hurt. I tried to do everything right by not raising my voice and being nice and he just is acting like I?ve ruined everything.
I don?t know what to do. I can?t get over it. I?m just so sad.
TL;DR?don?t know how to handle this one
UPDATE: thank you for the advice but we worked it out and went on a date and he said he?s literally just been tired and stressed. Def not checked out, lol
