<human>: So I have a bit of a pickle and I don't know how to handle it. My boyfriend and I have been together over a year despite being in a very long distance relationship (Two separate countries). We're both in our late twenties and as far as I know, we were madly in love with each other...

Here's the problem, it's his tendency when he's angry to give me the silent treatment. Not just for a few hours but for daaays sometimes. It kills me because it's quite hard being in a long distance relationship as it is, but the silent treatment which leaves me with no way to get a hold of him killllls me. When we're together in person, this technique of him just walking away doesn't really work, we end up talking, and usually can manage to resolve things... but when we're very far apart (sometimes for months)... the silent treatment can feel like a stab in the heart. I've already expressed that I need a way to communicate with him more readily. The last time we were together we said we would never go days without talking again... but here we are and it's happened again. 

I'm all for giving him time and space, I understand completely that he needs that sometimes (we all do...) But it feels like I get the short end of the stick in every argument because he decides he's not going to talk to me and I just have to deal with it. :-/ 

What's a solution to this that can make us both happy?? I'm so confused and my heart is breaking :-(

I really do love him, and I miss him everyday.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: What should you do in a long distance relationship if one person likes to use the silent treatment as part of their arguing style?
