It's hard to read your post the way it's written and understand exactly what's going on, but you two have to have a sit-down and hash this out, and if you can't work it out together you should try counseling.
I couldn't understand the OP with my coffee deprived brain. Maybe after a few cups of coffee...
Your advice sounds good for a lot of these types of situations irrespective of the actual details.
Your posting would be better if you edit out the extraneous stuff and tell us what you want, what you really, really want. Perhaps be more succinct and leave out non-essential details like dates, etc.
Yeah I literally did so much effortlessly, I realized my mistake and while it can't be undone, I definitely can show how I plan on being in the future by how I behave now which is easy for me because to me mistake was so minor that it didn't take extreme internal effort to change.
Last week my ex found me on social media and dm'ed me. I told my SO to be open with him about what was going on. He didn't seem bothered at first he just asked what I planned on doing. I said I'll either leave the message unopened or on seen, but that my ex was definitely getting blocked. I ended up leaving the message on seen (something my SO prefer me to) without my SOs input. I showed him I did and everything seemed fine after. Two days later he said he was upset because I insinuated that I would leave the message unopened because for him leaving it on open sends a better message to ex's and random guys who may message me. I told my SO that I felt opening the message from this particular person may prompt him to write me again because they know I saw the message and I was trying to avoid that (SO has seen with his own eyes that this person is like this). But I opened it anyway because its what SO would prefer and instead of being okay he got upset because I said I may not open it. He always preaches he cares more of my actions than words, but I'm not confused because he's not upset with my words and said it's not that you did what I expected of you, I'm upset that you said this.
Do you see my confusion?
Ok, so I think this is a red flag. It seems like he will keep you in a no-win situation no matter what you do.
So what are you gonna do?

OP, I still don’t understand what happened but it sounds like you were only a few weeks into a relationship when you “transgressed” and did whatever it was that he found so horrible. I don’t know what mistake you can make that early into a relationship. You barely even know each other at that point and it certainly doesn’t sound like you cheated. It sounds like you just need to move on, to be honest.

Well he asked me not to do something that I did anyway (I'm a very aloof and oblivious person at times) and "lied" about doing it. I didn't cheat and he agrees. When I realized I really made the mistake I made it my duty to show that I'm not a bad person. It didn't take much to correct my behavior because my action was minor to me and took little effort to correct because I realized he wasn't asking much, but I realized I needed to be more attentive to his needs, which I have been and no matter how much I show him that he throws it in my face. We'd only been together for a little over a month after the situation occurred but were head over heels for each other and I still am for him. It's just that he doesn't trust me now and feels as though I can't be the person he fell for. I try explaining that people make mistakes but it does't take a way from who they are. I'm still caring, fun, etc.
Jesus says to forgive. He often gives (gave) good advice.
When the boyfriend stops by for advice, maybe you can sic Jesus on him.
