My bf stopped communicating

Hello,
last Friday I had an argument with my boyfriend, it’s started from me not being able to see him and just said will see when I am done and he is done. He went by saying that he agreed and we should have separate lives which I had to stop him because it wasn’t what I meant and I had to say he wants separate lives that means we are not on the same page. He tried to explain himself by blaming fo being confrontational which I wasn’t and he went saying that he doesn’t pay much attention to words. We agreed to leave it there and talk the following day but he didn’t want to see me and after that we didn’t talk. I tried to give him space but what next? Can you help me? Thank you

What next, accept the end.

His silent treatments/ poor conflict resolution skills weren't good enough for you, even before splitting up was put out there.

With this silent treatment, if he comes back to you, you'll have been trained to never raise an issue.

You won't be able to change him.

Make the decision yourself. " This is very unhealthy, I don't feel heard. I have to put a stop to this dysfunction".

That way you're not waiting for him to deign to communicate with you again. His communication when it finally comes, after his silence treatment will feel like a dopamine hit. THAT MESSES WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT.

You make a decision based on your values to put a stop to what does not work.
