My (25F) boyfriend (29M) has been giving me the silent treatment although HE is the one who has hurt my feelings.. what should I do?

I was at his house one day when he did something he has done in the past. This action has upset me a little before but I have never spoken up about it.

We’d be watching TikTok on his phone and he’d proceed to open his Instagram/Snapchat DMs and go through his messages with girls. To be fair, in the 2/3 times he’s done this before I have not spoken up because I thought he was simply showing me the girl friends he has and what their conversations look like, it made me feel bad but not too bad.

However this time was different, it seemed to me like he was doing it with bad intentions (getting me jealous, etc.. although I cannot be 100% sure.)

When I got up to leave, he didn’t even walk me to the door which he normally does.

I left his place quite mad, and I could tell he knew I was angry because he sent me lovely texts and even ordered me food the next day.

Fast-forward a day or two later, I wanted to speak to him about it. I had carefully formulated what I was going to communicate so we can have a productive conversation. I asked him to call me when he gets the chance (because I didn’t want to call out of nowhere I wanted him to be comfortable, free, and available for a call) (also I called because he was in his hometown and we could not meet face-to-face)

He never called me. He made up an excuse about falling asleep.

Fast forward 6 days later and I’ve heard nothing from him. No calls, no responses to my texts, nothing.

We’ve been together for over a year, and he has never given me the silent treatment.

I am very open when it comes to communicating, and I understand he may be feeling scared or worried about what I wanted to talk about. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, I know I deserve better than this.

What should I do? Should I keep trying to reach out? Should I block him? Should I break up with him? What should my next step be?

I love him but I know silent treatments are a form of manipulation to gain control.

Tl;dr: BF is giving me the silent treatment. What should I do?
