He isn't chatty at all though.I don't like this because I was drunk at the end of the day and I said sorry.We've been together for 3 years and this is hurting me.I got angry last night and said he was being like my ex.I've said sorry again, I've text him and called but no answer. He thinks this space will help but Its making me extremely angry and I don't think it will help at all.What should I do?

He will simply want to speak to you less the angrier you get. Whatever you have done while you were drunk has upset him and simply saying sorry isn't enough to heal that hurt. He wants a bit of space and instead of allowing him time to forgive you, you are lashing out.You should be working on how you can do better in the relationship, and learn how to control your anger. Lashing out at him is no good.

 Respect that he NEEDS some space to think.
Lashing out will get you no where, and you know maybe you need to learn a little self-control. Saying or doing something stupid or hurtful isn't erased by an apology.
Give him a week or two. Don't call, don't text, don't poke him on FB or post passive-aggressive posts to get a reaction from him. JUST take the "break" and think what YOU can learn to do better. In life and in the relationship.
