If I had to be honest, it would only make things worse.
In a relationship, there’s always going to be a few misunderstandings or down time. It not necessary that he/she doesn’t enjoy spending time with you, it's just that they might need a break now and then; much like when people gets tired of eating the same food over and over again, it's not that its no longer enjoyable, it's just that a mini break would make it taste so much better. Perhaps they are busy, they might have had a change of priority… the list goes on.
What you can do to regain your partner’s attention:
Conversational
Engaging conversations with active listening
- Engage your partner in thoughtful conversations and practice active listening to show you care
Plan
Shared Interests
- Bond over hobbies and activities you both enjoy.
Surprises
- It could be anything from as simple as writing them love notes or planning something big
Recreating
- Memories lose relevance over time, it’s good practice to “re-live” “traditions” from time to time
Act and mind
Random Acts of Kindness
- Do small helpful deeds just because you want to make them smile.
Appreciation and compliments
- Verbally appreciate your partner and give genuine compliments.
Maintain Independence
- Keep up individual hobbies and friendships outside the relationship.
What not to do
Of course these are just a few recommendations for you, as long as you apply them right, they should work wonders (ie don’t plan a surprise 2-month vacation trip when they can’t spare an hour). And no, if these doesn’t work, telling them you’ll hurt yourself would only create more distance!
What would you do if you feel like your partner isn’t giving as much attention to you as you would like?
