I didn't wanted to hurt you vs I didn't want to hurt you

The correct phrase is 'I didn't want to hurt you.' The verb 'want' should be in its base form after 'didn't.' 'Wanted' is the past tense form of 'want.' However, in this case, the negation 'didn't' already indicates the past tense, so 'want' should be used.
