You can try to get his attention by making his favorite dish, and involve in a movie or game he loves watching, or get dressed better and make him feel what he is missing by ignoring you! If nothing helps one on one talk to share your feelings really help!

Ask him how his day is. If he isn't up for a conversation, then wait for him to relax and settle in. That's when you can sit next to him and ask him what's been going on. If he says that there's nothing wrong, then tell him how you've been feeling lately. That will remind him that you are his wife and deserve some time with him.

Try to start a conversation that you can ease into but then leads to talking about your feelings on the situation at hand. Try to have an open communication line.

A marriage is a two way street. If your husband is ignoring you, talking and opening up communication is the first (and very big) step. If he is not a "talker", you can also make plans to do things with your husband that you would both enjoy such a dinner at a favorite place, a walk at a park, or even seeing a movie. Just please, use the tools you have from knowing your husband well and work toward a solution with him. :)

Talk to him, sitting down and talking to that person is one of the best options since you are being upfront about how you feel in the relationship.

Try speaking to him calmly and air your problems onto him. You need to gain his attention for this, sit down and tell him that he is making you unhappy with how he acts.

When my husband ignores me, he needs some time to set his mind straight. I give him some space and let him come to me when he's ready to talk.

Ask him about it, however if he still ignores your I suggest giving him some space until he either calms down or he talks to you from his own side.

Try to speak to him about it and ask if there is something he wants to talk about, it is possible he might be very stressed and didn’t mean to ignore you

If my husband ignores me, I give him space initially. When we've reconnected, I will address it directly by starting with, "There's something that has been bothering me lately. I feel that sometimes you ignore me and it hurts my feelings." This can open up an opportunity for discussion. Based on what he says, I can offer validation for how he is feeling and then respectfully ask how we can work towards a solution for him to give me the attention that I need at a time he feels he is able to give it to me.
