Is it OK to ignore your boyfriend if you are mad at him?

Anonymous
I saw my boyfriend this Friday that just past. He usually calls and texts me but It has been 4 days since Friday that my boyfriend last called me. I found out that he lied about something so I called and texted him Friday night and Saturday telling him I wanted to talk about it because it was bothering me. I also found out that he was having some family issues at home and wanted to see if he was OK since he gets really stressed out with the issues he has with his parents.

I sent a few texts stating that I wanted to talk about why I was upset but he never replied or returned my calls. Finally on Monday he texts me saying he wasn't ignoring me, his phone has been messed up that's why he hasn't called or texted me the past few days. I just wasn't buying it considering the fact that it said he was on Facebook on his phone for the past few days. So his phone wasn't that messed up if he could use Facebook to talk to other people.

After I received his text I told him that I was upset with him and felt ignored and I called him many times wanting to talk about it. He was confused and thought I was mad about the issues he was having with his family and I wasn't. I proceed to tell him that why I'm mad has nothing to do with his family issues and he can call me so we can talk about what's bothering me and to talk about why he's be alil distant these past few days. He never replied or called me. Its now been 4 days since he has called me.

I'm getting tired of texting him and calling him trying to see what's wrong with him, is he OK and tell him why I'm upset with him. I tried to reach out so many times its not funny. I called and texted too many times and I'm tired of sending things only to be ignored . I do think he is having family issues but at the same time I think he could tell me in a mature way that he needs time to himself. I would understand. I think its wrong to ignore people especially your girlfriend.

I decided not to text or call anymore and let him come to me when he's ready. But I'm still upset that he's been ignoring me (that's the way I see it) and that he lied to me about something. I asked a friend and she said "hes probably stressed out and going through stuff at home, just wait until he contacts you. Then you guys can talk then."

He may be going through something at home with is family or stressed but I don't feel like that gives you a reason to ignore someone. Also when he feels better and he calls me I don't feel like I should jump for him. Just because he's feeling better or wants to talk doesn't mean I will. Because now I'm upset and my feelings are kind of hurt that he has been ignoring me. So when he wants to talk doesn't mean I will want to.

I might want some time to myself and not answer his calls because I'm upset with him at the moment and want to cool off. My feelings right now are a bit hurt. Would it be wrong to ignore him for a few days after he contacts me? Or should I immediately reply?
