I was telling him how I can't trust these people who I only know from online who play a lot of games with me. I was telling him the one girl who I talk to is a true friend and is a loyal person and someone I can trust like one of my friends. This guy gets offended and says "excuse me, what about me?" I'm like what?! he is mad I didn't say he was someone I can trust but I was talking about people who I talk to online who are my friends and how that one girl is someone who I know is trustworthy. He has been giving me the silent treatment for like 2 days and I said sorry and tried to explain is there anything I could do? Will he talk to me again, he never blocked me on aim and if he was done with someone that's what he does..I just didn't think it would offend him, I was trying to..I trust him but it's different he's a guy I love and care for and I trust him just I wasn't talking about him, just these people online. I'm stressed about my new job and I really would like to fix this I feel awful right now :( Reply to this Question

masweetie284 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionhe finally said sorry. but that was it we haven't had a conversation since but glad he apologized should I talk to him about how this is not how I would like to handle things in the future and say that we need to talk through our problems not ignore each other when someone does something to offend the other because we won't grow from it.

 The thing about using the "silent treatment" on people, is that you're sort of trying to be the one in power--you guys can't get through your problem unless he decides he wants to talk to you. It's a pretty pathetic and bratty move actually; my personal opinion is that people who talk through their problems and come to understanding right away are more respectable.
Basically, don't give into it and keep fretting and apologizing. You already said you're sorry. If you haven't already explained why you didn't include him (as you explained in your question) do so in a little message or something and then let it go. When he's done doing his bratty silent treatment thing, he'll come back around.

 Toddler tantrum. You have apologised, although why you should is beyond me, just leave him to get on with his tantrum throwing while you concentrate on doing well at your new job. Don't let him sabotage it for you!
