1. 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.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

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.

6. 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?

Would definitely like some input as to what I should do.... leave him alone, call him... Just want a simple answer to his vanishing so that I can get in with my life and stop blaming my self.

I cry to my friends & I over think. ALWAYS

@kubi lol

I didn't find it works

So my x Would be with me for a few weeks . Cause an agreement then disappear for a few weeks ignoring my calls and text . I'd say i was on his merry go round . No more.

Sometimes his ignorance is weakness and this is considered misbehavior

Or just kick him out.

But hey shoutout to the good guys who get lost in the crowd of suckiness! We love you and will find you and marry you

Yea, am experiencing such right now Infact!!! So I have decided to give him a break, not fun because I miss him tho
