Do I have a chance at getting him back?

My boyfriend and I broke up. We’d only been dating 2 months but he just recently told me he loved me for the first time. Three days later (and several I love yous later), we broke up after a conversation about ideas for extra income. He said he’s going to get someone to steal his car so that he doesn’t have to pay a car note anymore. I said I was going to work as a bottle girl a couple nights a week. I’m an attorney and I am shy and a homebody. I was joking. He got serious and said he would leave me if I did that. I still thought the conversation was a joke so I said well then leave me. This resulted in him breaking up with me and not speaking to me for two days until I reached out to talk about it. He said he didn’t think we were compatible and that my jokes made him feel like less of a man. I got sad and got drunk and cussed him out and mentioned his ex and his baby who passed away. I was SO wrong for this and profusely apologized. He said he can’t forgive me. But throughout the day we spoke and he said he needs space and will let me know when he feels different. He even sent me a photo of his haircut. I texted him this morning and he said “I don’t think I’m in the space where we can continue our relationship right now.”

Though I really messed up by saying the things I said when I was drunk, I’m remembering that that’s not why we broke up. We broke up because he’s controlling. Still, I want to work it out with him. Despite the little arguments we’ve had, he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met. But I refuse to beg anymore like I did all day yesterday.

is there any chance he’ll come around on his own?
