What to do when your partner says "give me a very good explanation or ask to be forgiven for what you've done" which was argue about your needs?

Basically my fiance and I had a argument and we haven't see each other or talked on the phone its basically been just a text argument because he's been sick and wanted to be alone for a few days. I felt the way he expressed that to me was a bit harsh and hurt my feelings (we are currently long distance for a few months), so I decided to give him space. After some hours I brought up I felt we needed to change the way we discuss things and not necessarily what we discuss and its been a two day argument because he feels I have to make it up to him or apologize for "being mad and treating him with disrespect" because he is the one sick (a cold). Bottom line, my stance on this whole thing is to take a reload period, cool off so we can then clear the air and move pass this but he says he hasn't done anything to me and I have no right to be angry and he won't get over it until "I give a very good explanation or ask to be forgiven for what I've done." Which again, has been me addressing the fact that we're too harsh during arguments and I'd like to drop it and move on. Am I in the wrong here?
