Other than throwing a fit and screaming at him, how do you get your husband’s attention if he is more interested in anything else other than you? In many households, there are so many responsibilities that take up all your time, causing you to divert your attention away from the people who matter the most to you. So what steps can you take to rekindle your relationship with your husband and get him to pay you the attention you deserve?
Reasons Why Your Husband May Give You Less Attention
Let’s start with this topic. Yes, there may be reasons why he has stopped paying attention to us because of how we treat him or because we don’t give him the attention that he deserves! Think about it, how did you treat him before you got married, compared to now?
We had all heard the stories from family and friends of how different their lives were before marriage and how, once they got married, it wasn’t long before things started to change. Even celebrity marriages have been affected by this strange turn of events.
Life surely does happen, and it can get in the way at times, but to have a happy marriage and a happy life, sometimes, you need to stop and take stock of where you are.
Let’s look at things from his perspective and think about what has made him change towards you.
- He feels hurt and unhappy. This might not even have anything to do with you! He could be dealing with depression or mood swings and not know how to tell you. Of course, he could also feel that you are growing apart, which causes him to pull away from you.
- He is distracted. He may be under a tremendous amount of stress at work, or he could simply be worried about how to pay the bills! He could also feel that you give more of your attention to the rest of your life than you do to him, so he spends his time on his own hobbies.
- Marriage isn’t what he expected. According to his views, his needs may not be being met. He may feel that you criticize him constantly, and perhaps you do! This could be a reality, in which case you both need to discuss your life expectations.
- He could be plain selfish! He is simply taking you for granted and has become lazy in showing you how important you are to him, and you have allowed it!
How To Get More Attention From Your Husband
Emotionally, we often feel neglected and abandoned by our husbands. Of course, sometimes this could just be our own perception, and he is not actually acting any differently than usual. Still, there are times when he could deliberately try to stay away from you for reasons which he might not be willing to share.
Try these steps to get more attention from your husband, especially when you are feeling emotionally distant from him. Sometimes it only takes a small change from you to change your relationship with your husband.
- Pay attention to him. Take a time out and listen to him. Often your husband will stop paying attention to you because he feels that you don’t listen to him anymore or make him feel important.
- Remember why you married him. You had the same dreams, goals, and visions at some stage. Think back to that exciting time in your life when everything was less complicated and fallin love with him again!
- Respect him. Show him that you love him and why he is important to you.
- Acknowledge him and what he does for you. Even though you expect him to do things for you and he will do what is expected of him, remember to thank him for what he is doing, and don’t criticize him for what he is not doing!
- Understand his moods. Yes, husbands are moody at times, but so are we! Allow him to have a bad day, but do try to communicate with him, or better still, give him the space that he needs!
- Give him time to express his emotions. Some husbands don’t know how to speak about what is worrying them. Sit with him to show that you care about him and listen when he speaks.
- Be happy when he is around. You can definitely change the atmosphere in your home by being happy and smiling often! Have fun with your family and watch your husband change!
