Me and my boyfriend (who I love deeply) had a fight Monday and he has not wanted to talk to me ever since. I left our house and am staying somewhere else because he asked me to give him space to think. This is very new. We have had disagreements before as all couples do, but it's never, ever been like this. We've never took "space" or a "break". We've never refused to talk things out. Things were resolved quickly and calmly. This is pretty hurtful to say the least.
I feel so bad. I DON'T want us to break up over this. That is my number one fear. It makes me really sad to even think about that. I really want us to just overcome this. I want us to talk, forgive and move on. We've always done that during previous disagreements that came up. I don't see why this time is so different.
I would have thought he would have come around and reached out to me by now too. It's really scary that he hasn't. I know I could reach out first, but I'm afraid to. I'm afraid he'll still be mad or just tell me he wants to break up. He had told me to just take enough of my stuff for a couple days, so he didn't tell me I needed to move out completely or anything.
To me, our relationship is WAY more important and way stronger than this. It is worth saving and it isn't worth just giving up and throwing everything away. We even agreed to that before. We agreed that we wouldn't ever be that couple to break up over petty things. We agreed to recognize our strength as a couple and work through our differences. I am still very much so on board with that. This is all just immature and petty in my opinion. The "stonewalling" (silent treatment). The lack of forgiveness. It's just not right. We are better than this.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can try to salvage this? How can I try to get him to see that our love is still there, and we don't need to break up?
