He distanced me and now I have no idea what to do

Advice Wanted

What started as a small argument escalated really fast. Misunderstanding into misunderstanding and now we don't talk.

After he tried to tell me something without actually telling me, I misunderstood and trailed off on just one specific comment he said which was just supposed to be another explanation of his whole point. (That he only admitted after he got really upset about something I said)

My intent was genuine, never meant to hurt him which he didn't understand and insisted that it can only have two meanings that I either tried to insult him or I really am just clueless about something obvious.

I tried my best to explain that it was neither and that I just wanted to understand what he meant even if it was a mistake that I trailed off on that specific comment. After some arguing I apologized, tried my best to say I wasn't thinking and intending what he thought I was and that it's not that simple but all I got was "ok. You're right. Whatever you say" for the fourth time as a response so I stopped talking because we will clearly not reach any point with this. Just what can I even do after that? Wait? This argument has been taking around 2 days which will probably lean into the third if he just keeps answering me like that.

I might be really immature or "can't understand how a man works and how to control a man's anger" but I'm not built with the knowledge
