i admitted my guilt and now what?

My boyfriend and I had a huge fight. Next day I realized that it was my fault and admitted it by sending him Hallmark card. You know, one of those "I'm sorry I screwed up". I guess I just couldn't say what I wanted to say in person.
It's has been 5 days(!) and I have not heard from him. Nothing.
What do I do now? It is over? How much more time can I give him?
Do I just keep quiet?

 

I would call him

 

Call him?

 

5 days is a long time...I'd try to get ahold of him and if you still get the cold shoulder, I'd probably take that as an indication that he's just too much of a pussy to tell you it's over to your face. I'd be pretty mad if I were you.

 

I tried calling him but he doesn't pick up the phone. When I do finally get ahold of him, should I ask if he received my card?? I hate to seem desperate but I really need to know his reaction to it.

 

It sounds like you've already gotten your reaction. If he can't take the time out to be a man and talk to you, it's probably not a relationship you should put a whole lot more effort into. I know it hurts really bad, I've gone through the same deal, but you'll find someone who'll give you the time of day and that's way better than pleading for a guy who's too big of a dickhead to even acknowledge your apology to give you a chance.

 

call him, and if it's over, it's over. i wouldn't tolerate a cold shoulder. to be honest, i'd have called it shut and moved on after 2.

 

Oh if only I could be really mean I would say something but I shall be kind.

Look at it this way if your mistake was something small (not like you screwed his brother, father or best friend) then if he cant find it in his heart to forgive ya piss on his shit ass attitude and move on.

 

well, how about his question- what is more appropriate: card or a phone call as a way to apologize?

 

You've already graciously apologized. If he is avoiding communicating with you then I think you already have your answer. Don't waste your energy on someone who is being such a tool. If he felt about you anything like you feel about him he'd have accepted your apology and this thread wouldn't exist.

 

I think you're overanalyzing it. Send the card. Do the phone call. Don't overthink it. Get over yourself and don't expect him to be all gushy over stuff.
