Talk to Him

Of course, this is easier said than done, right? How do you talk to someone that is ignoring you? But wait until you have his attention and let him know how his behavior is making you feel. Don’t accuse him of anything, just be honest about your feelings.

2

Ask if You Can Help

Maybe there is something going on with your man that you really aren’t aware of. Maybe he is upset by something or is having some sort of problem at work that he is trying to process. Whatever the case is, speak to him and show your sincere concern for his behavior and offer your help and support.

3

Back off

Sometimes men just need a moment alone. If that’s the case then let your man know you are here for him, but right now you are going to give him some space. Tell him to call you or come get you when he is ready for your company.

4

Don’t Jump to Conclusions

Just because you aren’t getting through to him doesn’t mean he is out doing wrong. If you’ve not known him to cheat in the past then give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but keep your eyes open for more questionable behavior or lies.

5

Give Him an out

Unfortunately, your man may be ignoring you because he just isn’t interested anymore and he is avoiding hurting your feelings. I know it sucks, but if someone doesn’t want to be with you then staying together isn’t the right thing. If he won’t say it, maybe it’s time you say it.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Make Other Plans

So your man wants to stay in alone and be a grump, that doesn’t mean you have to stay in with him and stare at a wall together. Get your girls together and have a little night out with your besties. You deserve some fun.

7

Give Him Time

If you man really is processing some sort of internal emotions then you are just going to have to give him time. Show your support and concern, but avoid smothering him. Remind him that you care and you're there whenever he wants to talk but try to not push the issue. In the meantime, find something else to occupy your time.

Being ignored stinks. I am sure we can all agree on that. While our men may ignore us for many reasons, we can’t always assume the worst. Give it time and feel him out before you start thinking he is cheating or ready to break up. How do you handle things when your man ignores you?

Ritchie wants us to bash men??? Huh? Lol I hate getting ignored sooooooo much. Most men are such jerks and put very little into the relationship when women try so hard. #dontsay #notallmen #omgno

I cry to my friends & I over think. ALWAYS

@kubi lol

Whoah women :) chill ! (All said in respect !) I will return with a good comment later on since it's way too late here in old dk. Goodnight

I'm going through the same thing right now. Some of the suggestions work, but sometimes my man just won't budge

It sucks ...omg

I didn't find it works

Just had a man ghost me. I'm heartbroken. In past disagreements ... we always would discuss our feelings. Why can't he say to me what he is feeling. I would rather know than to keep blaming myself as I am right now:( Tried to message him and though he will open everyone, he will not reply. Don't know what to do almost a month of no communication is killing me. Just want a reason....

broo im losing my shit atm😂

@ritchie v well since you are all men why don't you give these ladies some reasons why guys ignore their girlfriends or your point becomes rather pointless if you are trying to make a point.
