Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Your feelings towards his action are completely justified and not crazy at all!
Your boyfriend's masturbation habits mirror the symptoms of Compulsive Masturbation Disorder. Or if he masturbates about 20 times a week, it could be Chronic Masturbation Disorder which is slightly different.
Both disorders are a destructive force in relationships. People who have the disorder often isolate themselves instead of acknowledging they have a problem and seeking help. So, the fact that your boyfriend often shuts you out is also a red flag he may have one of these disorders.
You did not cause this, or do anything wrong. It's a problem he has probably had for a long time. And his disorder will most likely end the relationship if he does not seek help soon.
I've pasted a couple links below. The information will help you understand him better and may help you find your next step.
