    The person you love is a tyrant! Make no mistake about it. You do not state what you have done, but if it was anything short of infidelity, then he is using YOUR love for him against you as punishment. This can only happen if YOU allow it to happen...so get off the boat! Stop acting as if it makes a difference to you when they do not speak, when they withhold affection, etc. Only you can turn this around, so start NOW...show him that his childish tactics will no longer work against you. Go about your business as if nothing is wrong. If he continues, then show him what is REALLY going to happen! You are not going to take this treatment much longer, so if it continues, think about moving on.... let's face it! this is not the first time he has acted like this, nor will it be the last. IS this the kind of person you want to spend the rest of your life with? I have served my time with someone like this, and .... guess what, I lived to tell about it! No thanks to tyrants...they will not use the armament I GAVE them against me! Never again!

    It might take a little time to get past the issue. If the hurt was deep enough, that person may have difficulty trusting you again. It's up to you to rebuild their trust.

    I'd say, "look, I understand you're hurt but I cannot feel any worse about what I did and I've done my best to make it up to you. If you choose not to forgive me that's your choice but I can't apologize any more than I've done already. I'm going to give you some space to decide and if you want to continue this relationship, you know where to find me."

    There is not a whole lot yo can do til they decide to forgive and move on. You hurt them you said you were sorry now they need to be grown up about it and forgive and move on....

    You can't make them. Give them some space and some time to let their feelings mellow and then try again.

    All you can do is work to rebuild the trust that you broke.

    If someone doesn't accept an apology, then it becomes their problem, not yours.
