yesterday night me and my boyfriend were talking over the phone and we were discussing about his job interview next week. He wants a second job because his current job doesn't pay well

yesterday night me and my boyfriend were talking over the phone and we were discussing about his job interview next week. He wants a second job because his current job doesn't pay well and he wants to make enough money so he can move out to his own place. I understand that and if he gets the job, I will be happy for him. But then he mentioned that he doesn't mind taking 4 to 5 shifts a night. And then I got this idea in my head that "he won't have enough time for me" since he's working in the daytime and then would work at night. We see each other every 2 days and we talk everyday so I think Im scared that we won't be as close any more and so I took it out on him. And then he got extremely furious at the end. This was our conversation:
HIM: why are u thinking like this? I will make time for u. if a guy really likes someone he will make time so i will make time. i know myself
ME: i dont think u will. i just have a feeling. my friend and her boyfriend are on and off because of this
HIM: dont compare our relationship. we are all different. you are thinking about urself. u just want all the attention and its not fair. i need to think of my career first.
ME: ok... i think we need space for a week. we been talking everyday
HIM: *getting furious* WHAT THE F? why a week? are u interested in someone else? i thought we are seeing each other on Monday. i have a feeling u dnt want to be with me. if u dont just tell me and im out of your life. dont play games with me. im pissed. i will call later. bye.
Then he hanged up and then called me again
HIM: what do u want from me? do u want to break up?
ME: i dont know what i want.
HIM: *still furious but i can tell he was going to cry* why do u do this to me all the time? i dont know what u want. if u dont see me on Monday i will take it that ur not interested anymore and thats it. i will leave.
ME: yea i dont know..
HIM: look just see me on Monday. i will call u Sunday night. i will give u space tomoro. goodnight.
ME: ok ill see u on Monday. goodnite
