I've never cared for the phrase "douche bag," but I think that refusing to apologize to someone for hurting their feelings is pretty terrible behavior. It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, basic human decency says that you should value your relationship with someone over your own pride.

The only thing that I would add is that just like it's important to swallow our pride and apologize even when we're pretty sure we're in the right, sometimes it's important to forgive people even when they don't make an apology. It's the opposite side of the same coin. It may be that this guy is a dick and you should spend less time around him, but if we cut our friendships off every time somebody won't acknowledge that they've been an asshole, eventually we'll run out of friends. Don't let one terrible incident be the deciding factor, particularly if you've had a good history together.

Give all parties some time to cool off. If this behavior is part of an ongoing pattern, yeah, quit giving him so many opportunities to be a jerk to you. No need to continue spending time with him. Otherwise, I think it's a good policy to give a dude a break every now and then.
