1. Try To Analyze The Situation 

Fights usually happen for a reason, did you do something that upset him? Is he waiting for you to say sorry for your mistakes? Is he trying to cool down so he don't do anything reckless when he's angry?

After you analyze the situation, you can start thinking about the solution of the problem that you and your boyfriend are having. For example, if he needs time to cool down give all the time that he needs, if he already emotionally stable usually he will try to contact you and laid it all to you whatever is wrong with your relationship and if it is because something that you do, starts apologizing don't be eaten by your ego and think "my boyfriend should contact me first than me trying to reach him". 

2. Apologize 

When you feel you are the one who caused the fight, apologize and mean it. Tell him how much you are sorry about the thing that you did, explain what are the thing and what you feel after you have done it. He may get flattered and comes into an understanding to finally forgive you and end his silent treatment.

3. Communicate Via His Friends And Family

If you are not able to heard from him because he doesn't reply to your messages or answer your calls, try to ask for his condition and his whereabouts through his friends and family. Ask someone who you trust because if he/she tells him that you are currently stalking on him he will feel disturbed, but some guys feel somewhat happy that you still care for him even though there is still an ego war raging on between the both of you.

4. Plan A Date

Tell him that you want to go on a date with you, make sure you had everything already planned earlier so he may set aside his pride to decide to go. Dress your best in order to steal his attention, it is impossible not to steal his attention when you are the prettiest girl around.

Pick a comfortable place so you can have a discussion with you about the problems that you both are currently having. If the date goes south tell him that you are hoping this date can reconnect both of you, if he doesn't seem to care, tell him that you are breaking up with him because he doesn't appreciate all the things you do for him.

5. If You Found Out That He Is Cheating, Break Up With Him Instantly

Of course you need proofs for this, if you have all the proof that shows that he is cheating on you, demand him to have a talk about this with you. If he come up with excuses when you are trying to get explanations toward the proofs or even don't want to have a talk with you because of stupid excuses, break up with him instantly because the things aren't working for the both of you.
