Search Results: love and loss

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and our relationship has been great. We’ve had small fights here and there and would any other couple, but nothing like this. He has been under a lot of stress recently due to losing his job as well as family issues. We got into an argument about a week ago at a friends bbq, it was a very stupid argument but he ended up saying a few hurtful things and I told him that even though he’s under a lot of stress that’s not an excuse to say hurtful things to me.

Since that argument he reached out a few times but the texts were cold and distant and unlike him. The last text I received from him is this “I’m so upset I’ve been thinking about our argument all day. I don't know how we’ll ever get past this” and then - nothing. I’ve tried to call several times and text him but it’s been complete silence. I know he is OK because he has been watching my snap stories and has been active on FB.

I also reached out to his mother and his aunt (I have a relationship with most of his family) and she said she hasn’t been able to reach him either. I am at a loss of what to do at this point because I feel like although I love him and want to support him, there’s only so much patience I can have when he won’t even communicate with me. I also don’t know if this means we’re over because he won’t talk to me at all after several attempts. For reference, every other argument we’ve had over the course of our relationship we’ve talked about almost immediately and resolved so this is why this is even more shocking.
