In limbo in LTR. Need to break stalemate. What do I say?

Very long relationship of nearly two decades.
We've never lived together by both our choices but do spend a lot of time together and see (or saw!) each other as family, committed etc.

We had a big disagreement the day before new year's eve. We both think the other is completely in the wrong.

We literally haven't spoken since. Only the absolute essential things due to business we have.

This has happened before over the years (infrequently, maybe twice before), But never has it been so long and so silent and cold before. It would usually be me trying to talk more, but this time I've ignored too. He is usually the first to put out an olive branch though.

If we argue it's most often resolved within hours if not a couple of days!

I've been hurting and starting to think the relationship must be over for him.

I'm going to send him an email as I can't stand the limbo any more.

What should I write?

Please no LTB replies, I may well leave or he may well have left me, but I need to get him to communicate (he's not good at it) first so we know where the land lies.

Any help please xx

What does your DC think about the way you both handle this relationship? Do DC's relationships work the same way as yours?
