He may be stressed out and sad you are not together. He probably loved you and maybe still does so he is mad. Ignore him and stop messaging him and maybe one day he will pick up his phone and have the courage to message you back.

Break up is an unpleasant event. It leave the hearts in pain. So, some avoid their ex to avoid more pain after seeing them, or find it difficult to deal with the ongoing emotion inside them, so prefer to stay away. So reasons could be many and it vary from person to person.
It is better to ask rather than assume. If you feeling bad that he is ignoring you, probably speak with him and sort out it.

The opening of your heart and sharing it with someone is a very scary thing, but once you have to close it to someone it really hurts, just as you are hurting now. There are far too many people in this world who were not properly taught to deal with ending a relationship, understanding what closure is for and taking the time to heal themselves afterwards. It's much easier, is it not to just ignore all of these steps along with the person that you had to leave behind? I suspect that this may be the case for him. We all have our own set of beliefs and limitations with which we build the framework of our life, but as life's experiences come along that framework has to grown and change to meet those challenges. So don't be angry with him, just recognize that he is going through the same tough time you are, but he is resisting a growth opportunity. I've found in life that when I resisted growth opportunities they only came back again and again, but got harder each time. So pray for him that he will learn and not suffer any more than he has to so that he can move forward with his life. Peace and good luck!

Maybe he is trying to manage his own emotions regarding the break-up. Some people become introverted and prefer to handle matters away from others.

People deal with break-ups very differently. Some people want to interact with their exes immediately and forge a friendship. Others will find that it's difficult to see an ex, as it brings a lot of feelings or memories. For these people, in some cases they will choose to ignore their ex altogether, maybe because it's too painful.

break up is actually to be called as let go. and after let go, people tend to ignore and forget that. and it's a thinking he is ignoring. no, guys generally tend to think a lot about the relationship however due to their mixing it might be understood. and if he is really happy, then is not really worth to Rely on.

Because he is hurting as well and may be trying to get through it just like you. And sometimes it feels to awkward or weird to be friends after being in a relationship, even if you agreed to be friends. He may not know how to be friends after your relationship. Or he may just need time to heal and then will start talking to you again when he feels he can be friends with you. It will just take time and healing to know where you will end up

He is probably trying to distance himself. Break ups are hard for both the person who was broken up with and the person who broke up with them. Sometimes it's takes a while to be able to shift from "significant other" to just being a friend again.
