Boyfriend is ignoring me because he is angry, please read!?
This is my third time asking this because people are misunderstanding me and saying immature stuff like "OMG leave him he is insecure" that is honestly the worst thing ever, I am insecure too and he has feelings I will not call him out for doing what he does. Just no. I just want to know a MATURE way to deal with this. And I much prefer a mans perspective because I had been receiving answers from what seems to be 12 year old girls who thinks girls deserve everything when in reality in a relationship it must be equal and dealt with.
ON Monday my boyfriend got mad at me because I over apologized about me over reacting, he took it as if I was trying to make him feel bad and that wasn't the case. I then explained the whole thing to him and then it cooled down. I posted a picture of my celebrity crush and he commented "wow" then I reply them he says "whatever" and proceeded to delete the comments and I asked what's wrong and he hasn't replied at all. This is the first time he has done this because I had posted pictures of my favorite singers before. I am very confused because yesterday he texted me saying "I think it's best you forget about me" and I checked his fb and instagram and he is still following me, I still have him added and we both are in a relationship status. So I am puzzled to why he I tolde that and why is he mad at me and ignoring me. What can I do? Should I wait till things calm down and I talk to him, should I wait for him to talk to me? And If I have to text him what should I say WITH OUT APOLOGIZING AND WITH MATURENESS AND RESPECT. Because seriously I am not going o say ignorant stuff like "I deserve better " "you're an insecure asshole" and I won't leave him over a silly fight. This is the second time he ignores me out of anger and I am bad at dealing with this.
To all of you who made good and mature responses thank you and finally! I really wish I can communicate with one of you and give you all a big hug. I am going to have to let things calm down. Idk how long it will take but I will surely have to wait. Is there any way I can communicate with the three who commented well?

First of all, kudos to you for being very mature in recognizing that there are better ways of dealing with any issues and grievances in a relationship. Second of all, I won't sit here and dictate to you what you must do. I will only give my best and honest opinion, and then leave you to judge my viewpoint and involve it as part of your decision-making process. Thirdly, I'd also like to commend you for being such a considerate and understanding girlfriend to him, even though he is not reciprocating your thoughtfulness towards him in kind. Now here is my formal response to your question: It is obviously clear that your boyfriend uses reverse psychology, or at least he's employing it in this particular instance, in order that you may start 'feeding off of' his own selfish perspective. The thing is that even though you haven't done anything wrong to warrant such a negative backlash from him, he is toying with your emotions and manipulating your thought-pattern and processes so that in lieu of you looking at things 'panoramically,' so to speak, you only start looking at and responding to them from his own point of view, so that you find yourself apologize for having committed no offense. I have read your post in its entirety, and I haven't seen anything that puts you at guilt of anything. Now you have to keep in mind that a relationship is a two-way street; what gives, has to get and vice versa. It can't be sustained or based on the satisfaction of one partner's self-absorbed and self-centered wants. In your case, you're the 'feeder' while he's the 'fed.' I do not find that to be proportionate or balanced in any way. Remember that as stoic and resilient as you may be, you're still human and you might end up crumbling with no one to catch you from hitting the ground hard. Love always has to be returned in equal measure from one partner to the other in any and all relationship(s), where each partner claims to care about and show concern over the feelings of the other. It's as simple to explain as that. No deciphering is needed. Now only you can make the best decision for yourself, but you have to let it count by making it be a very wise one. The ball is in your court, and only you can play it not your boyfriend. Don't fumble with it, since you'll most likely end up being the one to cry. I hope that this insight helps. Good luck in your choices.

By cheating on him you started your relationship off on a bad note. Why are you keeping this other guy around? If you don't want him then block him, he should not be hanging around you guys anymore, don't keep in contact with him! Either way, I think its time to call it quits between the two of you, all trust is gone, he went through your phone for a reason, he felt as if something was going on. He's hurt and there's not much you can do to change that, he's not going to be able to get over what you did to him. Move on, take space from him and if he wants to work things out he'll come back to you. I don't suggest it though, your relationship is kinda tainted now.

Step back and take a breather girly!!! You are high strung because this sort of thing is hard to deal with and I will try my best to help!!!
Okay, obviously, he is having some problem in his life that he doesn't know how to deal with and he's taking it out on you.
You need to talk to him. Not via text, not over the phone or over facebook. Uou need to talk to him face to face and see what is going on. Call him up and tell him that you guys need to meet.
When you two get together, hug him and peck his cheek to let him know that you aren't mad, and actually be happy to see him because that will say a lot.
Then ask him if everything is okay and make sure that he knows that you are there for him and that you are a non-judgmental party who will stand with him.
There is something else going on here and you need to get to the bottom of it. I don't know what it is, but there is something that he isn't telling you.
See if he's jealous of your celebrity crushes or find out if he read into something that you thought was casual but he thought was something more.
I promise that as long as you guys communicate well face to face and don't hold back, then everything should turn out okay because if this is an uncommon occurrence, then it shows that the relationship is healthy.
Recap, talk to him face to face and find out what is going on in his life that has him down and offer to help him however he needs help.
Good luck girly and i hope that helped!

It doesn't matter how mature you are if your boyfriend won't show you the same courtesy. He is acting like a child. This isn't how you treat someone in a relationship of equal partners. An equal partner would discuss their feelings with you face to face, and not play petty mind games just to get their way. You need to stop excusing his behavior and see it for what it is.
But if you won't leave him, then you are just going to have to wait until he decides to get over himself and contact you. This won't be the last time he does this to you though.

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/NIb9u
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

I overly apologize with my bf all the time. He says it gets annoying but we laugh it off after he and I both calm down. Whatever your disagreement was about he may be still up set and why he left the comment in the celeb pic. Just let him cool down and I'm sure his other comment was just out if his anger.
Maybe let him be the one to apologize and come to you instead. Good luck

It is not possible for one person to be adult about an anger issue if the other person is childish or immature. If he will not communicate with you, about the best you can do is wait to see if and when he cools down and re-thinks his options.
Your best option is to tell him you understand he is hurt and angry and that you are available to talk when he is ready. Then WAIT.

well by the way you say it he got mad because you put a celebrity crush picture maybe he is just jealous or something what you need to do is not text him not call him you need to talk to him face to face because if he is mad he probably wont text your or call you so just look for him and ask him why he got mad
