To be honest with you ITH, personally I wouldn't have called him back. It was bound to be a heated phone call. You don't always have to respond to him. Sorry, I know you're feeling bad but this is my honest opinion. It is much better to wait until you are in a better frame of mind to handle conversations like that and you never know, the moment may have past for him also.
I seriously recommend that you sign off IM and don't answer the phone tonight. Give yourself a night off - it won't do you or him any harm.

spouting things from self-help books about me not making his happiness for him.
And if he was reading any self-help book worth it's salt then he would know that you create your own happiness in your life. It sounds to me like he is spouting feelings and feelings change and pass. Remember the old rule about believing nothing - don't let it distract you from your goal. And also, time is on your side.
