Try to be upfront about it and talk to him. When talking to him try not be rude. Make him feel you are being understanding. Be open and make him feel nice so he can open up to you. Confined in him so he can confined back. Be patient give him time and space

That's always a not so pleasant feeling when someone you love is not paying you attention when you speak to them. first ask yourself what your doing as we can address that first. do you get his attention. do you wait for him to start something then talk.
Next time you try talking to him try this.
Honey do you have a minute i want to run something by you? if he don't respond to that . send him a text message if he don't respond to that. be the squeaky wheel. and ask him all day every chance to speak to you.
also i find it important to share how you feel when your ignored. don't say you hurt me when you ingore me.
say when i'm ignored i feel ____ this way your not pointing fingers he can do that on his own.
good luck!

Try to explain to him how you feel, and how it makes you feel when he ignores you. It's not ok for your spouse to ignore you.

You should sincerely talk to him about it that. telling him that what you feel about being ignored by him.

Switch off the TV in the middle of his favourite game and announce that you are no longer cooking.... I'm joking :) When your husband isn't ignoring you explain to him that you appreciate him and you want to improve communicaton. Hold weekly meetings at a set time to sit down and discuss areas that both you and your husband can work on or areas you're doing well.

This has been a struggle close to my own heart. When I feel ignored by my husband it makes me incredibly unhappy. I feel invalidated and disrespected. Ultimately, I feel my needs are not being met and have even been guilty of second guessing the whole marriage. The most important thing here is to try various forms of communication. Maybe your words are incorrect, or your delivery is all wrong. This has been so difficult for me personally because I feel as though I HAVE communicated in all the mature ways an adult can do so, and STILL see none of the action or proactivity I expect from my partner. When in doubt, it also helps to get a third opinion.

Do you feel lonely? Maybe ignored? Maybe he's had a bad day. Confront him or your friends on this. Trust is important in a relationship.

If you feel your husband is ignoring you, give him time, maybe he has a lot on his plate. Your other option could be to talk to him and let him know how you feel. If you talk to him about it make sure it is a good time for both of you to talk. Turning it into segments where you talk about it here and there may put strain on both of you.
