AITAH-i left my old partner because i felt guilt over giving him a pregnancy scare

so me and my ex had been together around november of last year , we met on vacation . coincidentally we both lived in the same state as well so naturally we made plans to meet up when we got back home .

we went on a couple of dates , the first one being to the mall . things got intimate right away , the next date he came over to my house . my parents were super against this because i had never had a guy over at my place let alone pick me up in his car , they were naturally hesitant . whenever we would hang out he would always touch me in places that i didn’t really like , even in public and always ask to see my body whenever we called and stuff . so naturally we did intimate things quite a few times , mostly in his car . i wouldn’t say he was lustful for this , i was apparently his first girlfriend , and he was technically my first too irl boyfriend ever .

fast forward a bit , he became distant with me , and i asked him what was up . he said his childhood friend had died , i felt really bad for him . i told him i understood if he needed time , he thanked me and we didn’t talk for a bit . later on he started to decline seeing me , i was confused . i felt a little bit abandoned because this was my first boyfriend ever , i never felt so in love with a guy before . i noticed that my period had been missed , this is soemthing that had never happened to me in my life before up until this point , you can see how my brain might have connected the dots . unfortunately after realizing this i did something i regret , i told him that i’m worried i might be pregnant . i was genuinely freaking out .

this was the first ever pregnancy scare i had in my entire life , i regretted my decision so much . after i told him this he called me and he was extremely mad saying this cant be true , after that i’m pretty sure i got blocked by him . i was in so much pain . i told my aunt about all this and we went to go get a pregnancy test and we confirmed i wasn’t pregnant but i couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that i might have scared my boyfriend into thinking he might be a dad . he told me he wasn’t prepared for that at all , he still has his life ahead of him . part of me believes i wanted to be pregnant just so he would maybe love me more or want to stay with me .

after this we still stayed together but had a lot of arguments and he never really had time for me so i blocked him . at that point i knew the relationship wasn’t really salvageable . he still tries to interact with me but i don’t respond . is this relationship worth reconciling ? i feel like we both hurt each other too much , me by potentially scaring him and him by always being distant and hitting me occasionally . was i at fault here ? my mom still asks if i talk to him. and honestly i don’t know what to tell her . am i a bad person ? just looking for honest input on this situation .
