Here's what I'd say:
Yo, dealing with a narcissist who hits you with the silent treatment is rough. Good for you for not giving in yet - you gotta show him you ain't gonna play those games.
I'd say let him sweat it out for now. Do your own thing, have fun without him, don't give him the satisfaction of seeing you stress. Sometimes these dudes need a taste of their own medicine, ya feel me?
If you do text, keep it real short and casual like "hey, how's it going." Then don't reply if he tries to argue or flip it on you. You were right to hang up when the dude got rude.
Don't let him hoover you back in with fake apologies either unless he's really shown he gets it. You deserve someone who treats you right. Maybe use this space to think if you really wanna deal with a toxic dude like that long term, ya feel?
Whatever you do, don't bend. Stay strong, keep your chin up. Show him you can have a good time without him bringing the vibes down. He'll be chasing after you in no time, trust!
If he started the argument, then no, you don't contact him first. If you keep doing it, he will expect it all the time and then he will never learn from his mistakes and believe that it is normal that you call first.
If he is indeed narcissistic, then he will not give in until you make the first move because narcissistic people don't realize they are what they are until told. Even then, they will deny it and put the blame on others.
And if he does not make the first move, then you should realize that he is not the right person for you. Good luck.
Take away his “power” by ignoring him, don’t try to plead for him and don’t take it personally. He’s being immature and he needs a taste of his own medicine. In the meantime, use this silent period to take care of your own emotional and mental health.
