Am I Wrong?

My boyfriend of two years just asked me for space on Saturday because he feels verbally abused by me. It came about when he didn't answer my calls the day before and I felt dissed. I asked him why he did not answer, and he said he was with a friend. He said I left a message that had a snide remark.
I said I was sorry and that I was pissed. He said he was sorry and he would call me on Monday. It is now Wednesday and he still has not called. I am afraid I think he is done with me.
Am I wrong for still hoping we can fix this? Should I call him? I must note that this happened 9 months ago too. He said he needed space because I was jealous of him flirting/staring ( way way more than just looking) with other women in my presence. He called after 2 months saying he missed me and wanted to get back together. We went back.
In the past 9 months we have had two confrontations about this. I have since been more tolerant of his flirting, although he still does not believe he is flirting or staring at other women when he's with me.
