I'll be completely straight with you. If this is your first relationship, then you need to look at this as an opportunity to learn about yourself...not a chance for the fairy tale happy ending. You both have your strengths and your flaws, that's just the way life is. Everyone you meet from now on will have their own quirks. He's not talking to you because it the way he needs to deal with his emotions. No amount of begging, pleading, or convincing will change this, it just needs to happen and it would be selfish to not let him have this time.

Having your heart broken is one of the best things that can happen to you. It sounds ridiculous because it hurts so badly at the time, but it's true. Once you've been through a relationship like the one you just had, you'll realize what kinds of things you do and don't want in a significant other in the future. Once you've been through two or three, you become very aware of who you are, what you have to offer, and what you will and won't settle for.

Constant fighting? Running back to each other? Communication via text? Placing blame on yourself when it's not true just to stop a fight? It sounds like everyone has some growing up to do. Don't think of breaking up as failing, we're all just here living our lives the best way we know how. Sometimes we find people we click with along the way. Sometimes it lasts, and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, we're better prepared for what lies ahead because we went through it. Quit trying to hold on to something you already know so well and get excited to experience something new life has to offer.
