<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Whenever we argue, my boyfriend will refuse to talk to me until he's calmed down.  This usually takes a couple of days and is distressing to me.  Although I admit that I am calmer about the issue too by that point, I feel confident that I could discuss it in reasonable manner and sort it out sooner.  I asked him about it once and he said that he needs that time to calm down and that otherwise he's afraid that he would say things he would regret.  I respect that but at the same time it's hurtful to me each time to be ignored and pushed away.  We've been together about a year and otherwise the relationship good.

So my question is, is this normal behaviour?  My exes pretty much all did it too.  I had assumed that it was something I just had to put up with in relationships, but I'm starting to question that, especially given how upsetting I find it.  It's like each time we argue I have to deal with my bad feelings over the argument AND my hurt from him ignoring me.
<bot>: My bf ignores me for a couple of days whenever we argue.  Is this normal?  Is this something I can reasonably expect him to stop?
