Was I wrong for calling him out at looking at a girl to teach him a lesson on accusing me?

My boyfriend, now ex, would constantly accuse me of cheating subtly all the time. I told him that I don’t like those jokes because I believe he meant it. He told me he needs to see that he can trust me but I never have him a reason not to.
when we would go to the gym I’d see him starting at other women all the time and i ignore it. Even when we went on our first date he was looking at another girl. I said something about her to see if he’d know who I was talking about and he knew exactly who I was talking about.
I didn’t say anything about him looking.

I have a male friend who I am very close with. He did not like me having him as a friend and I didn’t know that until I had to go to his bday party and I invited him. I told him if he didn’t want to come it was “no big deal”. And that set him off. He asked why isn’t it no big deal and concluded that I didn’t want him to come bc he was my guy friend. He brought up how me having a male friend was a red flag and I kept explaining to him it’s not like that and he just didn’t want to hear it and I cried. He told me to go by myself. I calmed myself down and still asked him to go to the party. Which he did. When we got there he was acting weird with me. I caught him staring at my friend’s girlfriend multiple times and I told him I felt he was more interested in her than he was in me. I let it go and I just enjoyed my time.
When we got into the car I asked him how he felt and he was FURIOUS. He said he didn’t like how I accused him of looking at the girl and how I barley talked to him at the party. He was so upset and I just held his hand and tried to calm him down and apologize for how I made him feel. I told him I felt the need to do that because that’s how he makes me feel when he accuses me and I felt he didn’t really want to talk to me either. He called me immature and left me. I cried and asked him not to leave. Was this my fault
