Be the bigger person and give him a chance to see whats hes missing. If you find you have done something wrong, then say you're sorry, but that is all you can do. If he chooses to hold a grudge or is just simply ignoring you then wait for him to come to you.

Let him have bis space, being ignored is usually because he does not know what to say and most likely needs some time. Give him that time and he will come to you.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your boyfriend. Perhaps there has been a miscommunication between you both that has caused him to feel confused or distant for the time being. Honest and direct communication may help. Perhaps if you make contact the best way you can (via email, text chat or a direct phone call) and explain your concerns, calmly and openly he will respond with an explanation for his actions. If he continues to ignore you he may be requiring some time to sort out his own emotions he is feeling. While this may be frustrating to you, the 'timeout' may resolve the issue and bring a positive long term outcome. I wish you well with your concerns and please come back to 7copsoftea.com to chat again with any future problems that may arise. Have a wonderful day.

Hello there. Exactly what do you mean when you say he ignores you? Anyway, don't look down on yourself or blame yourself for being ignored. He may be going through some tough times and may not want to be disturbed. Sometimes the reason he is ignoring you is personal and may have nothing to do with you. Just support him in all his endeavours and be there when he's ready to talk. If you keep pushing him to talk he may just loose it with you.

It may seem like your boyfriend is ignoring you, but maybe he is just taking time to be by himself. It's better to take time apart, than talk when angry.

If this is habitual, it might be important to figure out why he does this. He may need time to himself, or it may be a sign of problems in your relationship. If it's the former, it may help to have other close friends for when you need attention and socialization, but your boyfriend wants to be alone. If there are problems within the relationship, those should be targeted and discussed when you both feel comfortable doing so.

Try to find out the rrason behind it by asking to him. And if he doesn't give an answer, I'll move on.

It probably depends importance of the thing he ignores, and how long and on-going his ignoring you is. You have many options. You could tell him right then and there that you feel hurt he is not listening and why you feel it is important that he gives you more attention at this particular moment. In the moment, it would probably be best to not focus on how many times in the past he has not listened, but only talk about right then and there if you feel it is an important thing he listens to. But, if you want to address an ingoing issue of him ignoring you, you might find a time when you are both calm and ask to talk to him. Explain that you'd like his full attention and that this is something very important to you. Try ti use "I" statements, so he doesn't feel attacked this helps people listen better) and explain why it matters to you that he listens and what it feels like for you when he ignores you and what makes you feel he is ignoring you. It can also be a good idea to enter a conversation with an idea of how you think you both can improve things, and end the conversation with some problem solving. If things get heated/angry, you might both pause for a break/breather, but set a specific time to resume conversations so this is talked the whole way through. If nothing changes and you are still feeling ignored, you might discuss ending the relationship, or just end it as that is an option). Or, you could change your expectations of him and his attention, or find times he is more likely to listen and save important talks or meaningful chats for that time.

Life goes on. They are missing out on something wonderful. Go on about life being yourself and if they don't respect or appreciate you, then it might be best to let them go.
On the other hand, if they've had a rough day, they might need some space and you can compassionately give that to them.
Hope that helps

i think the first thing to do in this situation is to communicate with him. At first you need to be sure if he is really ignoring you or he's disturbed by something . If you don't get what exactly is gong on then it will ruin everything . And one thing, don't try to avoid this problem cause this way it will just mess up .
Just ask him directly and listen what he is saying . Try not to overreact and be patient .
