:heart:When your partner seems to be temporarily ignoring you,do you cuddle up to them and make yourself known,or do you pretend to be moody with them to get attention?:heart:Or something else?:heart:


I usually give him some space first. He may be going through some things that he is trying to work out in his head. I don't take it personal---at first. We all have our days where we are just withdrawn, and just need some time alone.
But if the ignoring persists, I may ask him whats going on. I will make myself known until I get his attention. If he still blows me off, then I usually withdraw as well, and that usually gets their attention, snaps them out of whatever they are in.
I have been lucky tho, my partners usually don't ignore me, they know better, I'm pretty persistent and stubborn. I don't give up that easily.


I will agree with this in most aspects. at first I would also make sure they know that if they need me or want to talk I will be there for them.... If it continues for days? Man there is nothing that bad in my opinion ..its time to be realistic and talk. But If I have to force the issue I am prepared to get blown out of the water so to speak. But its communication. its a start.

I usually do something that involves leaving such as going to play a round of golf...

It depends on how odd that behavior is to your partner. I would say give space... at least at first. Go find something to do. But I wouldn't let it go on to long.

oh, don't pretend and play games... expecially at this time (bad spelling, and imho)...

I prefer the "stay close and hover a bit"... their body language and attitude will help you decide... all too often they either want to vent, or have someone simply listen...

Of course, perhaps if I was good at this I would still be married, so take this with a grain of salt!!

it truely depends on the situation.

Yet I suppose that more offten than not I just go on as normal yet watch and listen to evaluate if its just tired or if its withdrawn or depressed or contimplative. Then I will strait up ask "are you ok? you seem ***, is there anything I can do to help?"

my actions after that depend on the responce. but I do feel that a dialog needs to be established to at least adress the change.

Depends upon what mood I am in.

I may ignore them as well, or I may cuddle and be annoying just to get attention.

Meh. If they are ignoring me, there is almost always some reason behind it. They'll either tell me the reason eventually, or they won't.

I break up with him. I don't have time for moody, immature people in my life. whoa

I'm sure he can find a game-player that is more compatible for him. winking

I can't stand to be ignored. I'd have to ask what is up.

If we have a good relationship, I'd like to think I'd be privy to what would make my partner want to ignore me. If he just needed time to mull over a problem, I'd give him the space but I'd let him know I was available if he wanted to discuss it.
