Is the man I love gone forever?

The guy I have been dating for the past 8 months has not always been the most affectionate (up to my standards I guess) and so this has been an issue since day one. We have discussed this and he has always made an attempt but then things go back to the way they were. My bf has not had many girls he actually calls his girlfriend and all his friends say how much he loves me but I think that he is about to jump ship. Recently in the last couple months we have had some heavy duty fights and one most recently infront of other people. :( Even before this last fight he has had a lack of interest in me and in general and in the bedroom. It makes me feel so unwanted and unpretty. He told me the other day that he cannot get over all the things that I have said to him when we have fought and that he has a huge pile of negative thoughts resting on his head. He said that he doesn't know if he can get past this and that he doesn't know if we will last. He used to be sooo caring of me and I felt like no other woman existed before me but now only 8 months in I feel like I am losing him. I have a hot and quick temper and say many stupid things when I get mad but never did I mean them. He has told me that people say things that they don't mean when they are upset and now he says that there is a little truth behind everything said. I have been nothing but devoted to him and all I want is for us to work. Is the man I love gone forever? How can I make things better between us so that he looks at me like he used to?
