Generally when people experience a break up they need time and space. Perhaps you should utilise that time for yourself also.

This is something a lot of people will do. It may seem painful right now, but it is going to help both of you regain a sense of self and learn to once again be responsible for your own happiness.

People ignore after a breakup because of many reasons. They are uncomfortable with how it ended, they may be sad or unhappy about it, or they are sorry they hurt you and don't want to give you any hope that it might not be over. It's normal to experience this, and remember, it's not about you, it's always about them.

He is trying to get over you. It's not easy to talk to a ex right after a breakup it just means your still holding on. Its just his way of dealing with the breakup doesn't mean he doesn't wanna reply he just thinks it's best for both of you.

He is probably trying to get over you, especially if you're the one who broke up with him. It's not the best way to move on, but it's common.

If he initiated the breakup, it may be that he wants to move on in his life and he feels it best to ignore you to either hide from the emotional damage he is enduring. By ignoring—out of side, out f mind, he is masking any feelings he attaches to your past relationship.

Breakups can be hard for people. It can make people distant while they're going throw this. The best thing you can do is give him space and don't pressure him to talk. Let him take as long as he needs.

He may need space to get his thoughts together and that's exactly what you need to give him. He will come around.

What you had with him was a connection, which was destroyed when you broke up. He's ignoring you because of residual feelings of unease- whether that's nostalgia for the good times you had together, guilt for bad things he may have done, anger for an argument you may have had, or a mix- he is trying to avoid those feelings, and, with them, you.
