So I'm, a University student that has recently befriended a person that is often in my classes and later developed a crush on. I became great friends with him and I had only been about a month since we actually became friends however we knew each other 3 years prior to our friendship. When we became friends, I found out that he had an eating disorder and that she occasionally cut himself. So as The reason being his father that had passed 5 years prior to present day and hasn't been as happy since.
I tried comforting him by making my presence be know, listing ways to get over his passing by making a larger social network that is willing to be there with him. He is incredibly handsome however lacks self-esteem, which is why he has very few friends and isn't the most extroverted person. Regardless I wanted to comfort him and I wanted him to stop cutting himself. His mother is quite patronizing and doesn't care about his mental health, which has proceeded to more insecurities. From what I know, his father raised him whilst his mother worked, which is why he feels so connected to him. After suggesting more ways to find happiness in other things, he eventually calmed down. Eventually my dumbass asked him if he wanted to hear a controversial opinion of mine, in which he said to tell him.
I told him that his father wasn't coming back, and there are many other people like him. And he could find other people that are just like him, other people could make him happy and that he shouldn't harm himself because of his death. He got angry by this and he blew up on me. Saying that it was his father and there won't be another, and other people aren't the same. I was initially justifying myself when he first blew up. However, after he let out more of his feelings, I realized what how badly I fucked up and immediately apologized.
Since then he has saved parts of the conversations where I am seemed like a heartless bitch posted it on his private story. Multiple people have went to verbally abuse me. I still believe that my concept it correct but I worded it harshly, I did not intend to talk shit on his father. Its currently Christmas break and our mutual friend told me to leave him alone and he won't be mad at me anymore, however I do not want our relationship of the person I've liked for 2 years now to end like this and I don't know what to do
TL;DR Made fun of my crush's father and now our blooming romance has come to an end
