You must defend your boundaries. If you don't, who will? You must tell him why you were upset in the first place. Don't let him interrupt you, not even with an apology. Finish your spiel with the statement that though your boundaries were breached, you feel that you've over reacted, and want to apologize. Then apologize. If he's a grown man, he'll apologize too. Then it should be over, never to come up again.

Obviously the both have strong feelings on the topic so id say its better to say sorry for the 'over' reaction and agree to disagree. If he truely believes he's right then he shouldnt nned to justify and stir it all up again just to prove he is point

Not about being right (or saying that). It is about being clear about why what happened happened. As Bronxy said, if you don't--it will happen again. Information is power.
