How do you cope with being ignored in a marriage?

Answer 1

Carry on and Ignore it This happens to me quite often, as I am a contractor working with in-house staff. I always try not to take it personally (it's not), and focus on the job at hand, or turn my thoughts elsewhere, even though many times the group talks quite a bit amongst themselves; after all, they have been with each other for many years before I came along, in most instances.

Yes! Carry on and Try to Ignore it! Many may be involved in their work and not even realize that they haven't given a polite greeting and provided a kind word, but this is not your problem. Remember, days at work are busy, and then many are in a rush to get home, run errands, attend other events, etc. Most likely, it is not personal. If it truly matters to you, listen.

When they speak of family/friends, remember names and important events in their lives, then ask about it later. Also, humor, especially at work, is essential. It is a great tension reliever that is a positive and memorable experience. (However, be careful with jokes about the boss ;)....)

Answer 2

You don't! A marriage is a bonding of two people and that means love, respect, sharing, loyalty, honesty and good communication skills. You are in control of your future and it is you that will have to make the decision to either try at this marriage and if your mate refuses to cooperate then you should move on knowing you have tried your best. If you don't do anything about this then things won't get better and you will have lost precious time making a good life for yourself and finding a good person to spend the rest of your life with. Getting married is a gamble at best in these modern times and most of us know what the divorce rate is. Sometimes people fall in love and then fall out of love or think they loved someone when they really didn't. Mistakes happen.
