I can't get over something my boyfriend said in an argument.

Hello.

My boyfriend & I have been together for nearly 2 years, (both 19) & have lived together for nearly one. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has a bit of a temper & can say some harsh things when upset. Most of the time I can brush it off because I know that he doesn't really mean it, however in a argument that happened about a week ago, he told me he could go & date someone else without my problems. "I can go & date someone else who doesn't have any of your problems." Obviously this crushed me, & the next night he came forward & apologized. He said he didn't mean it at all, & it just came from anger. I believe he may be one of the few people who doesn't always mean the things he says when mad, from him telling me, to other stuff that I know he would never say. Since then, I've been an anxious wreck. It's hard to keep myself together because I keep thinking of what was said. We've been going through a bit of a rough patch since early July, & this isn't helping matters. I really don't know what to do. I just wanna forget it was ever said, & I feel terrible when I bring it up because I don't like reminding him of it. Please help, I'm at a total loss. Thank you in advance.

TL;DR: boyfriend said he could find & date someone else without my problems, don't know what to do or how to move past it.
