Should I (18F) break up with my boyfriend (18M)?

I(18F) just recently got into a situation where a guy touched me inappropriately. I was sitting down and it was in a crowded area and I had barely any space to move away, however I did stand up and try.

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend (18M) for almost 2 years now. The day that this incident happened I immediately texted my boyfriend and told him about it, and his response was obviously going against the guy and he was immediately protective of me. However, just yesterday, I took a long nap (around 5 hours?) without telling him. It's important to note that we do not live together currently. Anyways, hes upset that we barely talked for the day and is being super dry when out of nowhere he brought up the situation again.

It has been a couple weeks since I first told him about it so it didn't make sense to me why he would be bringing it up now. Then, he started blaming me for it. Even though I had explained to him that I did stand up and I moved the best that I could the day of the incident, he still said that I should've moved away more or at least told on the guy; which I didn't because I'm not confrontational and I just wanted to get out of there. He then goes onto say how weird he felt and how I should have done something more and I was honestly just appalled that he was saying all of this stuff. He also said that I 'brought it up so casually, which in the vm I sent him explaining the situation, I did not sound casual at all.

He denied that he was blaming me. I clarified once again that I did stand up and I did move away as much as possible.

Immediately after saying that, he says that he must've misunderstood and he has been profusely saying sorry ever since now. I can't help but think that if something more serious happened than just a touch, would he still find a way to blame me? I don't know if I should let this go or break up. I'm worried that since we've been together for so long, I wont be able to find somebody else.

TLDR: My boyfriend brought up a past situation where a guy got handsy with me and started blaming me for it, he later apologized but I'm still unsure of what to do.
