Boyfriend pushes boundaries on a nickname

Vent!!

So my boyfriend of a few months and i were talking on the phone. We were talking about internet memes such as "hello kitty pajama girl vs goth femboy" and somehow the topic got on my dislike for petnames in a relationship that uses family dynamic names like mommy or daddy. I stated that I never would like that with a partner and wouldnt be comfortable with it. Naturally, I thought that he would respect my choice and move on. He did not.

A couple of days later he brought back up the topic and asked again how I would feel about being called mommy. I stated once again that I felt deeply uncomfortable with the nickname for myself but I didnt care what other people do in their relationships. He went silent for a few mins and then asked "can I please call you that?" I got mad and just said no firmly. But he just kept pushing it. Asking in different ways untill I snapped. I yelled that I didnt want to be called that. He went quiet and we sat on the phone for a few minutes, and eventually I just hung up.

He claims to be so against boundry pushing and hates to be lumped in with other men that are SA-ers but went and pushed after I said no.

Idk, im mad and ignoring him. Am I making it a bigger deal than it needs to be?

edit + update

Yes i am 19, and this is one of my first relationships. Also this isnt the only thing he is pushy about in our relationship.

Also, I know he views it sexually because of a past comment of his. And what makes this weirder is that I've told him because of my past I dont want anything to do with sex or sexual aspects of a relationship for a while.

the update is that I found out through some mutals that he told his best friend about it and that the friwnd is encouraging him to break up with me. Im just going to break up with evening. istg im done with dating for a while.

Thankyou to the comments reassuring me that im not crazy. I'm probably not going to update this anymore.
