I've thrown my relationship away - devastated

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

If anyone has a minute to give advice I'd really love to hear.

A week and a half ago I had a disagreement with my DP. We don't live together - I'd say boyfriend but feel we're too old for that term!

It was quite one sided in that he said something that upset me (it was a communication breakdown type misunderstanding - he thought he'd told me something when he hadn't).

I got really upset and left - said that was it and I wasn't coming back. I was fuming - but I really didn't mean it. We never argue! This is horrible.

Anyway - I left it for a few days and have tried to text and call him a few times - I just want to talk. We can't end a 8 or so year realtionship like this! He won't answer the phone or reply to my messages. I have to just leave it now don't I? What can I do? I'm absolutely heartbroken - I need to get a grip but this is awful and all my fault.

Wannabe, your views on relationships are very strict.I think compassion and forgiveness is a big part of loving. OP acted a little immature but no-one is perfect. She did not commit a crime or abused him.
OP, I understand your pain. Sending you hugs. Hope you are feeling better now.

Hope things are better for you? Any contact yet? Stay strong and don't keep texting or ringing. Let him make the first move and if he keeps the ghosting up then leave him to sulk. If you've been together 8 years then no one sane cuts you off like that. Maybe this was an easy breakup and he was thinking of calling it a day but with you taking the blame, not sure but sounds like he's just sulking and punishing u. Look up silent treatment.
