How do you deal with someone who twists your words around?

Anonymous
I feel like my boyfriend always twists my words so that we end up in at argument. It's almost like he's looking for a fight. I could say the most innocent comment and suddenly he acts like I just ran over his cat or something.

I feel like I can't say anything that's different from what he wants. For example, we are planning a summer vacation and he said that he wanted to go to Florida. All I said was that Florida would be really hot and humid during the summer. And we got into a huge argument over that.

He twisted what I said into something completely different. He said that I didn't care about all his efforts in planning his vacation, that I didn't respect his opinion or ideas. All I said was Florida is hot in the summer. That's a fact. I never said I wouldn't go or that it was a stupid idea. Just that it was hot.

I feel like any other couple wouldn't get into a fight over something like this. I don't even want to see or hang out with him anymore because he ruins my day. He makes me feel bad about nothing.

I mean, did I say something wrong? I have hundreds of these examples and it's getting harder and harder to put up with.

And yea, I have sat him down to talk to him multiple times. He will either tell me I made it up or that he's prefectly fine and it's me.

I always end up apologizing just so I don't have to be in a fight anymore and I feel like he's get pleasure or amusement or something in seeing me apologize and beg for forgiveness.

Is this something that he can change or should I just leave because I can't take it anymore.
