When Your Spouse Ignores You Novels & Stories

But instead of him welcoming my hug, he shrugged me off like I didn't exist. I paused in my tracks, turning steely as I watched Carson walk up to his mother with arms wide to receive his hug. Carson had done it again— he had ignored me just like he had been doing for the past 3 years of my marriage and I was sick of it. “Carson,” I called as I traced my steps towards him but before I could reach him, Mrs Morello stepped into view. “You can meet him later, go serve some drinks.” She interrupted.

I spin his chair to face me, straddling his legs as I lock my arms around his neck. “Braden, you’ve been cooped up in here ever since we got back from the hospital. You won’t tell me what’s wrong, and I won’t ask you to. But can you give me five minutes of your time? I’m your wife. Stop ignoring me.” I hate how desperate my voice sounds. My heart cracks a little as his eyes glance over me.

She waved them at me and then tossed them into the garbage. "Damned right I don't want you buying a car. Until you start paying attention to me again I'll be damned if I'll let you buy a car that you can spend all of your free time on. I'm sick of being ignored by you while you run around with figments of imagination in your head telling you that something is wrong with our marriage. I'm tired of it. I have needs damn it, needs that you aren't meeting and until you start meeting those needs I'll begrudge you anything else you want to spend your time on."

I gasped, what is he talking about? “What is going on?” “Get lost, I knew you were just going to act so innocent” he pushed me away and walked out and I was just like what just happened. What is wrong with my husband? I took a deep breath wishing it was all going to calm my nerves but it didn't. He ignored me even when I called after him. What is going on? I couldn't place it and it felt like I was going insane. Why is my husband giving me attitude? He had never acted this way.

I poked at my food, answering questions when needed, my mind elsewhere. Aiden ignoring me before had hurt but him ignoring me now when I was his wife was going to break me.

I sat down and put my legs in the water. I kept playing with the water when a figure approached me. I looked up with squinted eyes due to the sun and it turned out to be my handsome husband. He stretched the drink to me and I collected it from him but didn't say anything. I kept slurping on the drink and finished it. He kept trying to bring up conversations but I ignored him "Why are you ignoring me? I've been trying to have a conversation with you but you just sat there mute." He said pissed

She sighed. "Every other person is mad at you?" She nodded. "Bryan isn't talking to me, looks like he'd rather be anywhere but in my space. My husband is mad because according to him, his son is ignoring me after disappointing him." Harry scratched his hair, unsure of what to say. "I believe Bryan will come around with time, you don't need to worry about him." He finished with a brief chuckle, to lighten the atmosphere.

The only thing that ran through my mind was how to get out of the marital situation that I found myself in. "You should talk to me about how you truly feel; I'm ready to listen. My break is very short, so we should make it really quick," Dr. Ryan said, causing me to nod my head. "Ma'am, I don't know what is wrong, but my husband is giving me the silent treatment," I said. Dr. Ryan checked her watch; it seemed like we really had a very short time to spend here. "How did you feel about how he ignores you?" she asked.

“You really are going to proceed to ignore me?” “Considering that you are making decisions, considering that you are ignoring my presence and neglecting it, and considering that you want products of thought, you are going to have to accept that I am not going to be talking to you the same way that I did before. I'm going to tend to my duties as your wife, but that is all you are going to get.” She said and I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath before I move in my arms from either side of her.

And at this point I was just a bother to him. With his voice as cold as ice he said."Ava... For months I have been telling you that we are done. I'm done." The words pierced me like a knife. I felt as if the room was spinning and I held onto the bed for support. " We can't ignore this . Liam not in this manner."As I spoke my voice cracked with a mixture of rage and desperation. "We are married. Our lives are collapsing and you cannot ignore this." He made no response. He simply sighed and rubbed his temples acting as though I were a bother. His expression, which was one of indifference, did not change.
