Would a guy get over something in 3 weeks?

Question

If you argued with a guy and things ended badly, between you’s, so you unfollowed him on everything… then u give it 3 weeks space for it to calm down to text him again! Do u guys think he’ll be less angry and willing to talk again?

3 weeks is a long time. If you do plan to text or call him, check on him first and see how is doing. Whether you want to admit it or not, one or the both of you are still gonna be thinking about your issue so it'll be best you speak on your side on how you feel without an attitude and admit a wrong with an apology. If he's reasonable, he'll do just the same before or after you've made your statement. Arguments happen, but they are not healthy at all. Especially if they have you going as far as blocking someone on everything.

Hypothetically speaking, if I got into an argument with a girl over something that caused her to act as you describe, we'd have nothing more to say, ever. That's a ridiculously petty way to act, and unbecoming of anyone I'd even want to be friends with, much less anything more.

If the argument was really bad, most guys would find a new girl in those 3 weeks and forget about you.

Getting back in touch with a guy every 3 weeks sounds ridiculous. Just sort out your conflict right then and there like adults. If you can’t communicate properly then stop bothering him. Unfollowing him or blocking him and leaving him alone for 3 weeks, and then messaging him as if nothing happened, is incredibly childish.

Unfollowing him when you want to talk to him sends a wrong message... That unfollowing or blocking sends a message that you're done and want nothing to do with him, so the text out of nowhere may come off as contradicting and confusing. The best way to clear things up is in person where nobody can just ignore you.

I really hated when this girl did that to me every few weeks. She'd argue with me and then delete me on everything. After a few weeks she'd come back, add me on everything again, then expected me to just pick up where we left off.

No thanks... too much drama for me.

When something like that happens with my male friends, we'd get over it in a few hours. We'd just apologize then go play video games together, hang out, listen to music etc.

It would be more heartfelt for me if it was a telephone call or a request to see them in person. Why does everyone just do everything via text now? Seems so inconsiderate and bland.

Lonewulf57 · Answer

Okay, first anybody can get over an argument in 3 weeks, or it might be 10 years, and they still won't let it go.

Abòut his response, it might not be "good," but it sounds like he is taking responsibility for the argument.

Ms boo-thing and I had a falling out. She asked; What did I ever do to you?
I replied; nothing, it's just me. my fault. Meanwhile, I think she betrayed my trust with her friends. I DO think it's my fault, because I shouldn't have extended her my trust.

HollyK21 · Answer

Unfollowing him isn’t giving him space, it’s sending a message. If someone did that to me after a bad fight, ghosted for 3 weeks then came back like “hey how are you“, I would not be so welcoming. The time to talk and clear the air would’ve been way sooner.

magiusX26 · Answer

the unfollowing and all, yes i would move on without her and try not to think of her again. fair chance i would not welcome communications from her after all that and any long length of time without hearing from her, especially after her actions essentially indicated we were through (3 weeks is plenty long enough of a time) .

XXblack88 · Answer

Maybe depends on what the fight was about. Now giving space is good but blocking that person in my opinion is saying I'm done. 3 weeks seem long to me. Just call/ text him if he move on he'll ignore your call/text or tell you to stop calling/texting him

What could possibly go wrong trying to reconnnect with someone when it ended badly the first time?

Neilbud · Answer

My advise, spend a couple of weeks accomplishing one or two items on your bucket list and then text him for a coffee date. You will have something to talk about, photos to share and some mental clarity. At that point you should have an idea where things are going.

hahahmm · Answer

If he's tried of drama and/or he found another woman already then it's not looking good for you. It's a lot easier for a guy to overlook you bailing for 1 day or 2 days than to overlook 3 weeks.

melanieeeB · Answer

Depends on a lot of things, like what happened, how you both stand with each other etc but I know I would lose interest after 3 weeks or just by the the fact that he would unfolllow me and all

AncientWisdom · Answer

That's awhile to cool off. Be careful waiting that long, as he may think you're done, and move on. A few days is sufficient. Anything longer it looks like a ghosting occurred to the male.

Dragonpurple · Answer

He might be, does he care about you a lot or what kind of relationship did you have? He might think it is already over and moved on.

Apulu_3 · Answer

It depends from guy to guy. If he texted back like this then maybe he really felt guilty or is being sarcastic.

RobT312 · Answer

3 weeks is a long time for me. i like to hash it out in a day. I don’t like to hold anger grudges

joe2511 · Answer

I’d move on and find someone that may be a better match.

integrale77 · Answer

Depends on the guy and the issue but I tend to calm down and get back to normal in 3 weeks

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

It depends on the issue, people don't get over something. What would you do if the situation was reversed? would you be okay after three weeks?

dudeinohio · Answer

It depends on what it was. If you were in a relationship and broke up, then there is I good chance it is over forever. If it was something less severe, it wouldn't be as long as 3 weeks.

sean1234 · Answer

Sheesh, all the questions, just talk to him already, pray to Jesus, don't be a horny toad like all the rest and you'll be fine.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

Unfollowing him kinda burns your brushes, but not as bad as blocking him. But go for it girl. Hopefully he’s chilled out by now.

Citizenkirk · Answer

If you block and unfollow him, I think that would just piss him off more, wouldn't it? Give him some space, but don't be a dick about it 👺!

rabbitzzz · Answer

Make him remember the good times. Remember when went to the beach and there was this red crab or something like that.

dustybiker · Answer

If he didn’t reach out in that time he’s incredibly hurt. Move on.

Depends on the guy. Men are like women... Joking... Not all men are like women... Some move on without much thought. Some never will

awkward_author · Answer

It depends on the severity of the fight, but I'm sure he's, at least, cooled down a bit by now. Why not try messaging him, and see what happens?

noohair · Answer

I am not good at 21st century texting etiquette, but I know that if you damaged his ego, you can't fix that.

nawtee_me · Answer

If it were me I would not answer your text. not at all... There are always consequences to your actions.

Anonymous · Answer

Guys don't usually hold grudges like that so yeah, three weeks and you speaking first is definitely good. He's over it.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Could be! It's mostly women that hang onto EVERY LITTLE THING he did for the rest of her life

boobliker · Answer

i would say he is not over you as yet and may still hold feeling for you!!!

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

Need more context. What’s this bad you’re talking about?

krin_m · Answer

It really depends on bad the break-up was. If you cut off all the social media connections with him, he may have already moved on.

Shy_Steve · Answer

I think he might still be angry so It might not be a good idea to text him again.

Jerre · Answer

Depends on what the argument was about. Not hearing from him in 3 weeks, he is most likely not interested.

If he hasn't talked to u for 3 weeks it means he doesn't love u

Shiningtempest · Answer

@bratz1211 In the end, it depends on each individual if a guy will get over something in 3 weeks or not.

TheSpartan · Answer

It entirely depends on the magnitude of the disagreement and how badly the argument went.
