My boyfriend starts fights over small things how do I get him to stop?

He said his sisters shoes were on the ground instead of the shoe rack and was like I hope ur not that messy. I didn't respond and switched the topic. It was like 1:30 am I was tired too. He got so upset said I was ignoring him and he has felt ignored throughout his life with his mom and his sister. I didn't mean to ignore him I was just thinking how I'm messy and how that will annoy him. I told him I was sorry was listening to him and was thinking in my own head instead of out loud and id be more cognizant of that.
