I got upset that I've barely heard from him all week. He got mad at me for being upset when it was the anniversary of the death of my son and he didn't want to come over. I don't expect him to understand because he has never lost a child before but I felt like he could've at least came over and cuddled and held me, instead of acting like I was making a big deal of nothing. He went on a trip 2 hours away and it is now 3 days of him totally ignoring me. We had a conversation about him in the past about him keeping some contact with me. Even if it's just twice a day. In the past when he started ignoring me, he was caught sending sexual text messages to another woman (who turned out to be one of my lesbian female friends catfishing him on her own accord. I didn't ask her to do that but she did because she things he's a sleezebag), making plans to meet up for sex. I was going to break up with him back then because I felt like if he really loved me, he would've shut it down right away by saying that he has a girlfriend and isn't interested. I decided to give him a 2nd chance because I love him. He claimed that he never planned to actually meet up with her, gave me a personalized ring after that and wore a matching one, said that he'd work hard to regain my trust. Things were going well until recently. I'm not going to blow up his phone with texts or phone calls. I have this rule of 2 where if I make 2 attempts to contact someone and they don't respond, I will not try to contact them again. I will wait to hear back from them. Should I assume that this 3 days of ignoring me is his way of breaking up with me or do I just continue to give him space by not contacting him and waiting for him to contact me? This is so frustrating.
Are you sure that he's some place where he could contact you? If he went hiking or camping in a remote area, he might not be able to contact you.
If he could be in contact and isn't, and especially considering the other things you mentioned, I think you should consider whether he's a good partner for you. He doesn't seem to be doing what you need in terms of emotional support and communication.
I agree with you about not continuing to try to contact him when he's not responding, but when he gets back, if you decide to stay with him, I think you should talk with him about how it makes you feel when he goes silent like this and ask that he not do that again in the future.

I would say you need not to reach to him you have already tried two times to reach and it's enough. Now it's his turn to respond. I know it's frustrating and making you anxious but sometimes just to break a bad habits or addictions it happens and love is very bad addiction so to feel these things are normal for you. Try to keep yourself busy and wait. And see how he responds, does he explain you or not and how convincing it is for you, you decide. If you feel you are getting played you decide. Trust your intuition and your own wisdom. You are not fool and you deserve all respect. If someone doesn't deserve you why to let them have you. I'll say whatever is you decide. See how he acts and you decide what's right for you.
Sounds like both of y'all need to take this time to seriously reconsider whether you are emotionally compatible...
